We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Side effects may not justify the cure on this one. This is an EXTREME measure and if that's the direction they go, they had better have some really good fucking science that says "we do this or several million people WILL die..."

Not might die, but will. This isn't the thing you do to pre-emptively address a calamity, it's something you do to avoid an imminent one. This will fundamentally alter this nation and perhaps permanently.

If there's a way to do ANYTHING other than this, then you cannot do this. I'm truly floored by the transformation of our economy proposed in that legislation.
I just don't see a scenario where over 50% of the population isn't totally reliant on government assistance to provide for all of their living expenses.

There's no way "we" come back from this.

Just under $2.50 here, but they do appear to be dropping. About a week ago they were around $2.60.

Looking it up on Gas Buddy stations near where I used to live in Virginia Beach are between $1.80 and $1.90. Maybe I should still be living there...

Well the premise is that is their fault because they do make everything political and black and white with the narrative depending on their affiliation. I think everyone sees that but so many people still accept these messages because it’s much easier and more comforting to hear things in line with what you want to hear than it is to question your own beliefs.

Also, there is plenty of good news coming in the past week regarding treatments. You just have to look through this thread. I haven’t noticed any of those links or breaking news stories being from a prominent news organization or an article being written about them from the typical big outlets. There is some huge potentially advancements and results coming out every day. They should be plastered everywhere.

Keep seeing this in places like this. How is it not the lead story on every news site?
