Freedoms you've given up
founder
slip a dollar in her g-string for me
Some people think we haven't given up freedoms. So I thought we'd start a list of things we can no longer do.
Camp at a national park.
Spend the day at our beaches.
Eat at our favorite restaurant.
Take a hike in a county Park.
Feel free to add to the list

I do miss the beaches.
Use of public parks and trails
Get a haircut or handsy
I given up getting my teeth cleaned
Haircuts
Drinking beer at a poker table
Slipping dollars in g-strings.
The freedom to go help the people who are important to me.
The freedom not to waste precious days of life being locked up through no fault of my own with the ever increasing realization that there is no legitimate reason for this nonsense.
But I get your point :)
Strange to think he gave up nothing but spends his time on a strip club website. That would leave one to believe he's still going to strip clubs. Let us know where, twentyfive. We all want a lapdance!
I mean i am allowed to disagree in my America, right?
Just curious, what's your cutoff date? When will you think we will be open?
I have friends who are Doctors and nurses. If you think this is all about you then you are pretty damn selfish.
Seems like it's becoming political here.
Businesses opening in Texas starting tomorrow.
In phases. (Strip clubs not yet)
Masks, Distance, Washing - all common sense practices still in place.
Scale back where there's a flare up.
Herd immunity will develop in 8 weeks. Cure by end of year.
Then the elderly and vulnerable can also go out freely.
Never been so impressed by humanity.
Hoping strip clubs return to original glory with dancers unleashing months of love onto agreeable PLs.
I have a very personal concern about many doctors and nurses who are dealing with C-19. Fortunately I do not know anyone who has personally died from it but I am aware of a number who have died that are one person removed from my friends.
As I have posted before, the virus is real and people have and will die from it. But it is not the contagion that was originally feared. The “experts” predicted 2 million plus Americans would die. Of course the media hyped it but that is how they make money. The fact is that the prediction has proved to be so wildly off the mark that I think those prognosticators should be shamed into oblivion. I recall when a very “sobered” Trump went on TV and told everyone to brace themselves because the number of deaths in “the next two weeks” would be horrendous (the media calling for 100,000 to 200,000). This got my attention and I’m sure that Trump’s “experts” convinced him it was going to happen. BTW it never happened.
Likewise the medical system has never come close to being broken. Local hospitals here have less than one third of their beds filled in anticipation of all the multitude of C-19 patients which never occurred. The same situation exists across the country. The hospital ships went unused and the over-flow hospitals set up by the military also went unused and have quietly folded up. Doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers have been laid off for lack of patients because elective procedures (defined as anything not an emergency) have been halted.
What is going unreported is that stroke, heart attack, and other serious cases showing up at emergency rooms are down by 30 – 40 %. It’s not that they aren’t happening, it’s that people are afraid to go to the hospital. Cancer treatments, surgery and basic diagnosis are also all largely on hold. How many of these people have, are, will die because of this shutdown is an unknown but my gut tells me that the number equals or exceeds the C-19 deaths.
So the economic concerns as well as my “selfish” desire to be free aside, IMHO the time has come to stop with the hyperbole and fear mongering. Maybe the decisions made at the time when there was little or nothing known about the virus that the actions could be justified. At this point with more and more significant data available and PPE largely in place, and with much more knowledge about what the threat really is, a focused, meaningful and effective strategy to deal with it should be put in place and again IMHO that does not include any kind of sweeping lockdown.
To put it more in TUSCL terms I would pose the question: Just because some whining old man in south Florida is afraid of dying, should a 16 year old boy in Bum-fuck Montana be locked up instead of being able to drive down to the lake with a case of beer where he can fuck his horny girl friend which is after all is what America’s promise of freedom is all about? I think we all know the answer to that.
"What about the children?" You clearly don't care or have a clue on the practical measures associated with this transient event.
It's funny how people have to shade it with their own personal
OPEN every thing for business TODAY. let US INDIVIDUALLY choose to have FREEDOM or stay isolated...
Highly concentrated populations are typically blue due to the more co-dependent relationship of the population with government. Those populations, especially the less affluent are disproportionally at risk. For the record I am not "them" but I take an objective scientific view of the situation and I choose to use and follow reason.
When a few thousand people died in early 2000 and we went to war (which I agree with) it cost the US a heavy toll in $ and lives. We did that to prevent and discourage future attacks. How that all played out of course can be second guessed just like this situation.
It takes balls to confront a national threat. Ignoring it is irresponsible and reckless.
We have lost our right to pursuit of happiness, to protect others' right to life, under threat of losing our right to liberty.
We should unilaterally cancel all our debt to them, adopt a balanced fucking budget that won't require us to sell bonds to foreign governments, take the temporary hit to our economy while we rebuild our domestic manufacturing capacity, and ostracize and isolate the ChiComms just like we did the Soviets.
GammaNu for president 2020.
Amen, brother. Balance the fucking budget. IMO, deficit spending is ridiculous and unjustifiable except in times of true emergency (Great Depression, WWII) despite the contrary positions of Keynesian economists. USA's national debt of $27+ Trillion and climbing is not sustainable.
Well, mostly we voted for him because he wasn't Hillary.
We still don’t know if we’ve bought enough time. Hospitals are better prepared. There has been some movement on treatments and vaccines. Infections are plateauing in some communities. Some communities have 15% of the population with antibodies to fight reinfection.
Phasing in the economy is another way of buying time.
The jury is still out.
This is just a conversation with someone on the front line. If there is anyone with facts from front line epidemiologists please share some feedback.
I would personally love for them to be wrong and this thing to just fade out so we can all get back to normal. This sucks balls in a bad way.

Lastly these at risk populations don't vote blue for any other reasons than money and excuse making. They don't vote blue because they have failed, they failed because they are dependent people who vote blue. Boston in particular and Massachusetts as a whole remains residentially divided. If it was poverty or dependency causing this then why aren't jam packed impoverished white neighborhoods having the same issue as black and Hispanic communities? Culture or a racist virus? By the way we're murdering the working poor the middle class and the self employed to save the infirm and elderly, so it's all just panicked bullshit
I won't even bring up silly anecdotal claims although my wife is in the medical field and one of my lifelong friends on the board of directors of the largest hospital in the region.
A large THUMBS UP!
We all wondered why 24/7 businesses have locks on the front doors; well now we know.
