I'm gonna have to throw some TLDR in here as I have no earthly idea what is currently being discussed in this crazy thread. I just wanted to stop by and throw a shoutout to Gov. Wheelchair for opening Texas back up 100%. Dude took a stand, obviously a figurative stand since he cannot use his legs, and now people can make their own decisions sans restrictions from individual businesses.
THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!!!

What a mess. One person even already had one shot of the vaccine.

However, with covid, all the people who support the lockdowns and restrictions have really fooled themselves. When you ask, “who can I help,” you’re already deceiving yourself. The full question is really, “who can I help by hurting someone else I don’t think is as valuable?”
All the people who need “help” during this pandemic have a really easy way to help themselves; stay home, if they want, and live in a bubble of isolation. Covid would have torn through the population much quicker and we’d be past immunity by now, and the people who wanted to stay safe could have easily made that decision.
But no, our leaders felt it was necessary to hurt many instead of hurt a few. Tricked people by saying, “if you just _____ you can SAVE LIVES!”
It’s the biggest load of bull crap I’ve witnessed in my life. Nobody cares about saving lives. Every single hypocrite saying we have to follow the rules because it can save lives does the following: drives, and drives distracted.
People die in car accidents every single day; if we cared about lives, we would stop driving cars. Funny how people don’t seem to think that’s an issue.
I get the same rebuttal: “well we have driving laws and stuff to make it safer.” We still have deaths, all the time.100% preventable if all the “heroes” out there would stop driving the car and advocate others to do the same.
You wanna save lives? Tell grandma and grandpa that if they want to have family over, it has to be outside and socially distant for a year. That would save their lives
Me? I could have gotten covid. I would have lived. My kid would have lived. You’re not saving my life and I never asked you too. All you’ve done is put me out of work for a year, encouraged my wife to fall back into her suicidal depression, encouraged myself to fall into a bit of hopeless depression, encouraged my sister to fall into a depression because her friends/landlords shunned her for breaking covid rules, took away my in-law’s education for a year, and made an entire state full of weird people who think they need to wear a mask when they go for a walk.
Or, and hear was my least favorite experience during a temp job delivering boxes: I didn’t wear a mask (because I’m not stupid). One day I’m dropping off a box to a house and a guy and his 4-5 yr old daughter was out front. I said, “good afternoon,” as I’m rummaging for his package. I start walking towards the door. He has his hands full so I didn’t go towards him, but his daughter was near the porch. He immediately says to his daughter, “Emma, come here...come here NOW.” Caps are used only emphasize sternness. Let me mention, he was wearing his mask while on his front lawn, and me, mr Danger Covid Man, was not. The subtle lesson he taught his daughter, in my eyes, was a tragedy. “Stay away from people. Maybe even fear certain people.” She was excited to see a guy dropping off boxes right up until her dad subconsciously made her aware she shouldn’t be

I hate the trend of politics and social issues lately, the division. All the pitting against one another and taking sides.
