    @Loki said in Are ventilators causing more harm than good?: Per HHS there will be 35,700 additional ventilators in the stockpile by June 1 and 137,431 by the end of 2020. Meanwhile IMHE says a total of 13,851 are needed in total. Sounds like given what’s out there + the 137k we are in great shape. I dont remember who said it: “In a year we’going to have a lot of expensive end tables.”

    Expanse is great. Even when I couldn't bring myself to watch it, I could see it was great. By comparison, Star Trek is like The Kardashians in space.

    Nice statement. But he forget to mention that Trump hate overrides all. There are limits.

    I experienced the commodities program back in 72, a friend's family I was staying with in Poplar Bluff, MO. It was fantastic. We hitchhiked up to the Bull Island festival. No money or mind altering substances, but we had something better - shelf stable food - to trade.

    @LuFins-Dad said in To Address a Problem: @Jolly I'm thinking about buying 1/4 of a cow and 1/4 pig from a farmer friend and a decent freezer from Walmart. You may pay a little more, but you'll have better tasting meat, especially the pork. 1/4 not is not a bunch of pork, especially if you are making a bit of patty sausage. Just make sure your freezer is big enough...
