What's this?

And here’s the point I think some of you guys are missing...


...discussing the repercussions of the current path (economic or otherwise) is not akin to saying we completely abandon that path. And posting an article saying that it has some interesting points doesn’t mean one necessarily agrees with every single point made in it. It’s just pointing out there are and/or will be further consequences and/or things to consider. This is a big problem in this country in that if someone isn’t lock step in line with a particular viewpoint we automatically assign them to the complete opposite even if their just bring in up particular issues for discussion. Not everything is clearly black or white.

I said a week or so ago the biggest thing with this virus is the unknown because it is new. Humans are unique because we think we have control, thus the fear really ramps up when new things pop up that we have no control over. As I said, there’s some interesting sociological studies that should be going on right now.
