It’s a big planet with a lot going on. Live your life, focus on what’s in front of you and quit paying attention to the media. Why live your life in fear of what may become.

WOW, some people’s glass is 1/2 empty. My area is joyful and peaceful. I do my fair share to help the less fortunate. I suffer no fools. I cut back on the news. I watch enough to know where not to travel. I’m where I’m going to be before dark. I don’t carry yet, I’m thinking about it. My glass is half full.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Interesting choice of words for something that is already reality, don't you think? I mean that list isn't what may become. It is what is...now....closing ones eyes doesn't not make it go away. But yea, we all have options. Eye's wide shut is one. Serious. Not being cute. Lot's of people really like that option. For example....

 

I think of Noah when a topic like this is discussed. An entire world chose not to "live your life in a fear and what may become".  They considered the reality he preached to be a joke. Rain? Until that day it had never rained on the earth.

 

What I really want to know is; when did they take it serious? 

 

Water to the ankles? Waist? Chest deep? When the few had made it to the highest mountain? Perhaps some denied with their last breath. I am certainly curious about that. Yes indeed...curious ? 

 

Anyway....have a nice day.

Yeah, don’t waste your time. The CNN-force is much too strong with this one.
 

When you’re programmed to think the world is ending in 12 years, everyone is a racist, and COVID is going to kill you, this is what you get. Miserable people and kids taking to the streets to burn everything.

 

Here’s some interesting stats to bounce off of the lockdown lover’s heads. I feel like a few of us here said this would be the cause about 6 months ago.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/01/fauci-debunks-theories-of-low-cdc-coronavirus-death-toll-there-are-180000-plus-deaths-in-us.html

 

KEY POINTS
  • White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed on Tuesday that more than 180,000 people in the U.S. have died from Covid-19. 
  • Fauci’s comments come after some have claimed a new CDC update indicates only 6% of the nation’s total reported Covid-19 deaths were actually from the virus, and the remaining percent died of “other serious illnesses.” 
  • At least 183,600 people have died from Covid-19 in the U.S. as of Tuesday, accounting for just over 21% of the globe’s total reported deaths.

Well yeah, it’s obvious that some of the people who have died, even having other serious conditions, would still be alive without COVID. I never took the report to specifically mean that 94% of the COVID deaths were fake. It casts some doubt on a number of them, but anyone knows that COVID certainly can turn your 6 months to live into 6 days, and so on. 
 

What I did take of that report was that we should use that data to by hyper-focused in protecting only the people who need protecting. We are talking about a very specific subset of the population who should be concerned. And a vast majority who should be back to normal in order to fund the at-risk sitting this one out. Maybe even obtaining some herd immunity in the process as has already happened in certain areas.
 

Blanket restrictions on everyone’s lives makes absolutely no common sense in light of the data we have. All it results in is vast non-compliance, depression and unrest. I didn’t expect Grump or the experts to understand that on February 1st, but I did expect everyone to understand it on September 1st.

Some people want control. Even after there’s little difference between lock down states and semi open states as far as infection. Blue verses red. Control and freedom. For our own good. Where have I heard that before? Cuba, Venezuela perhaps?

Think it’s behind a paywall on the WSJ but this article says as much:
 

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-failed-experiment-of-covid-lockdowns-11599000890?mod=mhp

 

D56A16DB-738F-469C-81D7-F458BCE61C07.thumb.jpeg.c254236a829c4a84b79c19d4f84d4726.jpeg

 

The same can be said for the effectiveness of masks, no impact at all. Which makes sense since CDC has acknowledged that asymptomatic spread is basically a myth. And yet everyone still wears one.

 

We just have a complete refusal to accept and react to new data as it comes. Some people sound the same today as they did in March. Illinois and California have decided to just ignore the CDC now and test people who don’t need tests. You get more false positives than asymptomatic super spreaders, that’s for sure.
 

In the end, even though Pelosi and Mayor Beetlejuice of Chicago aren’t afraid of the bug when they get hairdos, they damn sure want the rest of us to be.

Now they’re trying to say she was set up by the salon. Absolutely delusional. And what’s even scarier is people will back her

That, and suddenly now salons in California can operate indoors after all! Wonder what changed in 24 hours??? Hmmm...
 

Love how the article makes no mention of the obvious reason. ?

People don't just have motives for what they say, they have motives for what they believe as well.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
