Do you think most experts really respect the average persons ability to Do what they are told if given a honest appraisal . In any setting or industry? People are generally morons . Peoples opinions are easily shaped and molded and this has been near perfected over time . Public Messages for almost anything are designed to change behavior to that which is desired and to create less resistance . Experts believe they know better and that they are protecting the public and the greater good . They aren’t going to let the public’s intelligence or lack there of or ...dissent toward a truthful acknowledgement of what all the motovation$$ are lead to a less dramatic and more straightforward message That could lead to a weaker result when it comes to desired changes , opinions etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember others suggesting that this was going to be more of a slog than that. The second idea always kinda seemed more realistic to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still plenty of other viruses and bacteria that we are exposed to and live with on a regular basis. You'd literally have to live in a bubble to not develop proper immunity from exposure. It was all hypothetical anyway. Mike’s talking about never getting sick and avoiding viruses completely. Obviously with what we’ve been doing for the past year with masks isn’t enough to completely stop transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I stopped using hand sanitizer regularly very early on. It seemed like late spring/early summer it was rather obvious fomite transmission was super low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the early stages of it I was using it likely crazy...then I think like late summer I just stopped...especially since alot of the stuff I found to be using was alcohol based. Was worried my hands would become as dry as the Sahara. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel, non-woven, chemicals, specialty items used in chips manufacturing are hardest hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell now, rent a storage unit for your most valuable stuff, and live in a van down by the river til we correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The historic relationship between incomes and house values is getting a bit stretched again. Perhaps the Fed is helping the ole household balance sheet and the wealth effect By buying billions of mortgage backed securities every month.

Posters who barely contribute anywhere on the forum and only chime in to complain that they want a pure and curated banter experience are toxic. Since this is obviously a low-key and unwarranted attack on my comment: I've kept my mouth shut multiple times but you're the most toxic, easily triggered, insecure, thin-skinned poster here. Its crazy how folks like you manage to not only move to our communities in NNE and take up an incredible and outsized amount space in reality but also figure out a way to do it virtually as well. Just go home.....someone else will happily pay the property taxes on your gaudy wannabe Tahoe log cabin. We can only hope they're half the a** you are. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
