Is this the end....
Greetings Folks; it seems that we (the whole world) are in the midst of a global economic crisis brought on by a virus that is creating fear and panic in what would otherwise be considered “normal” people. Personally I am not buying into it; the fear and panic portion.
I do think the virus is real, and just like any other virus it can cause physical complications that can lead to death. For the most part though those deaths have been mainly in older folks who are already in a compromised health condition, so what’s the problem?
We finally have...
We finally have something that will help rid the world of an old and aging portion of the population and they (governments) put all kinds of restrictions in place on travel and the like. It is no secret that older folks are expensive to keep around with all their medicines and doctors visits they have to have.
Seems like the governments would see this Corona virus as a blessing; a dream come true. Instead of limiting travel it should be encouraged, instead of cancelling events that draw large crowds of people they should be offering discount tickets to attend. The people who run Austin, Texas have put a ban on events or gatherings that have over 250 people in attendance. What are they thinking?
I can’t believe we elect government officials who just can’t seem to figure things out when it is so damn simple to see.
Is this the end of life as we currently know it?
There are places around the world that hope so and I can’t blame those people who are living in “third world” countries for feeling that way. If I were living in one of those other “third world” countries I damn sure would wish that it was “the end of life as we currently know it” and that living conditions would improve.
Fortunately I live...
Fortunately I live in a third world country know as the USA, “land of free” (as in handout) and “home of the brave”. The founding fathers of this country are probably rolling over in their graves with what is going on here.
People are in panic to the point that toilet paper and bottled water are the most sought after items in grocery stores. How brave are we that we let a “virus” tear this country a “new one”? ( “new one” does require toilet paper … oh what the hell… “asshole”) .
We have pretty much...
We have pretty much closed up all the schools because of this virus but that is having a big affect on the “land of free”. We can do without the kids getting more indoctrination (education) but the free lunch program those kids are dependent on.
Seems that without the public schools giving free breakfast, lunch and after school snack we are going to have a bunch of kiddos starving to death real soon. I think we should reconsider the closing of the schools, dying from starvation is a given where those youngsters would probably survive just the Corona virus.
(Lucky for me I just celebrated my 16th birthday at the end of February so I really don’t need to worry about being in that “older age” bracket that seems to be most susceptible to the virus.)
The Mrs. has stocked...
The Mrs. has stocked up on few items and since this is Girl Scout cookie season we have cases of cookies just in case things get really bad. (Oh yes, Girls Scouts management has suspended the selling of cookies due to the virus.)
Shortie did real well Friday night and Saturday morning selling over 200 boxes of cookies in anticipation of the suspension. She told folks “don’t get quarantined without a few boxes in your home”. I swear she could sell water to a well.
Shortie did reach her goal she set for this year selling over 1,000 boxes of cookies. If she doesn’t sell another box her total will be around 1,250 boxes or so.
Don't be surprised...
Don’t be surprised if we hear that the virus is being spread on by way of what we call “money” (paper & coins) and that it will be against the law to use those methods to purchase items with. We'll have to go all “digital” money in order to save ourselves from this virus will be the reasoning.
At that point just turn out the lights, the party is over. Say “hello” to the New World Order.
Is this the end of life as we currently know it? If we only have digital money controlled by the IMF you can bet your sweet ass it is the end of life as we currently know it.
Maybe steem would take off and many other cryptos as well; but then it will probably be against the law to have a computer or cell phone.
That enough for now, I think I have a couple of cold Corona’s in the ice box with my name on them.
Adios amigas y amigos,
