  1. That's fine but be sure not to use a plastic straw and dont flaunt you white privilege
  2. couldnt agree more on having the virus antibodies versus vaccination. Incidentally, I have been tested at two separate sights for the antibodies and I have them. I didnt know it at the time, but I can recall when I had the virus. I am one of those considered most vulnerable. Had two days of fever, ten days of cough, and a week of reduced sense of taste. But when fever was gone, I was as good as new.
  3. I am glad you are there because this virus is NEVER going to cease to exist aka the flu. As for testing being the answer, I ask this. If I pass the test today, is that assurance that I wont come in contact with and transmit the virus tomorrow, next week, next month?
  4. Have yall given any thought to how many people are going to die because you went to restaurant? Sounds like a bunch of selfish, compassionless, white Republicans to me.
  5. Could have been. Many have to get high in order to tear down statues and clamor about straws.
  6. plenty of businesses/individuals profit from the low cost of mail service. If I am understanding you correctly, you would like to see Amazon and anyone else making profits by using the mail service subsidize those who are not making money using the mail service?
  7. First things that come to my mind are a good little dribblers program and good community support
  8. Newtobie, will you please keep track of the number of deaths caused by disinfectant? I am sure you gave your allegation a lot of deep thought and will be prepared to substantiate said allegation with some numbers. When you get a final tally, we can further discuss how right you were.
  9. One can take anything they want out of context and then try ( however pitifully it might be) use it to their advantage. The question is who believes you and who doesnt. From my perspective, the biggest sheepie comment ever made was " the Benghazi attack was caused by an internet video"
  10. The problem from my perspective is, the taxpayer funded system is continually way over its budget and doesnt worry about it because it is accountable to no-one and operates on the theory that it can simply write a check to cover the last one it wrote. If I knew that I could buy a Bently GT and someone else would have to pay for it, I would be much more inclined to do so than I would based upon my budget and income stream. If they repeatedly go bankrupt ( or its equivalent) and repeat that process over and over, Grandma and essentially everyone else will wind up paying it ( not physically but simply in additional debt being passed on from Grandma to her offspring in the future). I am all for the Postal Service being a not for profit organization but I do not support it being an inefficient unlimited spending/debt generator. Once again, market forces never force the Postal Service to alter its spending behavior, which, ostensibly promotes behavior/conduct in the opposite direction. I am not making the case to be mean to grandma but, rather, to impose greater accountability on the Postal Service. Additionally, this is far from the first time the post office has been next to "bankruptcy". It has happened many times in the past but, as previously mentioned," a check for a bounced check is accepted".
  11. The author cites two instances in Zoom and Amazon where values increased during the market decline. I would submit that most everyone else who owns large amounts of stocks ( regardless of whether they are millionaires, billionaires, or regular guys who retired with large amounts of company stock) all have taken about a 30% to 40% beating during this decline. The fact that two guys stocks have increased has nothing to do with the fairness of the tax system. It is written in such a manner ( some call it class envy) to make one think that he or she has somehow been cheated and the reason Jeff Bezos has a lot of money is because of the tax system. BS- Mr. Bezos brought an idea to the market place that is very successful. As Sears, Penneys, Lord and Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and possible Macys approach bankruptcy filings, Mr. Bezos company will benefit from that. Additionally, Amazon has provided people with a way to get much of what they need while brick and mortar stores have been closed. If the tax system is made "fairer" it will simply dissuade many other entrepreneurs from bringing their ideas to a market place that will decide whether or not their ideas are valid. It would also be interesting to see how many companies have laid off large portions of their employees and compare that to what has happened at Amazon. I am always hearing how the latest tax cut benefitted only the rich. Think about it. If 50% of the public is not paying any taxes, well of course those who get a cut and ARE paying taxes will be identified as " the evil rich" that benefit from the next tax cut thus leaving the poor other 50% ( who pay ZERO income tax) to fend for themselves. I am amazed at how many think that a zero percent tax rate entitles one to get a tax break.
  12. I thought I had an upper respiratory issue ( I get one every year) in early March and doctor checked me out and didnt seem concerned. I went home and had fever for two days and a cough that lasted 10. I normally use z-pac for the respiratory issue and asked doc to prescribe one. It did the trick and I was fully recovered 2.5 days later. My daughter reminded me that it is very rare for me to have fever and that she believed I had actually had the virus. Hence my decision to take the antibody test. As it turns out , the zpac ( azithromycin) apparently is beneficial when dealing with corona virus.
  13. Bobby Knight said mean things in the huddle and at practice too.
