    You can't deny that infection rates are on the rise some places, enough to be worrisome. As much as I want everything to open back up, vaccination rates are not there yet.

    How much extra tax are you willing to pay to keep things closed? You will be funding this.

    It seems to me that in the US, the problem is is that the people are are "advocate" the most to open things up NOW, are the same people that are not willing to do the things necessary to allow that to happen.

    (mask wearing, social distancing, etc.)

    There's a word for those people.

    A good word or a bad word?

    After a year there is still no concept of a limit or a goal.

    There is no way to measure the harm caused by the pandemic, and no way to measure the harm caused to closed businesses and no way to measure the harm caused to children with no social contact.

    Just insults

    Wear a mask or be stupid

    Why? What is the goal? Are we getting closer to the goal? Does them mask really do anything?

    All great questions, there is a word for those people with the sense to question the idiots and it is not an insult.

    Whatever.

        I think Renauda summed it up quite nicely. Some sectors of business are unduly affected, like restaurants, but many seem to be humming along pretty nicely.

            You know what's weird? After a year of wearing a mask in public I've never once considered that! I just do what the liberals tells me! And they tell me restaurants are evil and must be punished! Don't buy them takeout!

                  @catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).

                  P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person

                          Speaking of bean-counters - my son works in a department store, and they allocate the hours based on the payroll allocated by central office. Central office allocate the monthly payroll based on the turnover from the previous year. So this month, it was completely in the toilet, so they didn't call any staff in, so the poor bastards who are working are completely overwhelmed.

                          A moron with a computer is a dangerous thing.

                                      Speaking of bean-counters - my son works in a department store, and they allocate the hours based on the payroll allocated by central office. Central office allocate the monthly payroll based on the turnover from the previous year. So this month, it was completely in the toilet, so they didn't call any staff in, so the poor bastards who are working are completely overwhelmed.

                                      A moron with a computer is a dangerous thing.

                                      Every Monday morning I am in a manager meeting where we go over activity for the past week and compare to prior year... This week I might have caused a bit of a ruckus by asking why we were comparing this week vs this week last year, and perhaps we should compare with 19? And that for the next three months, comparisons might be pointless.

                                        As is a bean counter in charge of public health policy.

                                        I suspect that pretty much everybody wanks, or has at some time, but not everybody is a wanker.
