Probably the best response I have had on here after posting the information about society as a whole. At least an acknowledgement that there is a problem on some level. I think its the first time that has happened.

Thank you.

No one has denied that people could be generating more income as it has always been a question of the proper means to an end. Always.

I finally watched Trump's Independence Day speech. That was an excellent speech. People actually thought there was something wrong with it?
People were pissed that some liberal networks posted the whole speech in its entirety?
 
I am not with Trump very often, but his path on opening schools is the right one. Maybe not every detail about it, but the conversation needs to be that every possibility is exhausted to open schools this fall.

Not having schools open is a bigger disaster than closing down part of the economy....

Parents won't be able to work, incomes will fall, expenses go way up, kids won't be able to eat, etc... it's a BIG DEAL to the economy, and to the kids. Kids will fall behind on development, because a majority of parents don't have the time, energy, or skills to properly develop their kids in the same way a professional educator does. Kids will fall behind in math, science, english, etc. Basically lose a year of development, which is critical.

In my opinion, not having those schools open would be a total travesty.

  • Suspend (with pay) all teachers, staff, etc that are in the high risk group
  • Clean the schools the best you can
  • Require masks
  • Don't have events like assemblies, pep rallies, and events with crowds
  • Allow food delivery to the classrooms so that all the kids aren't bunched in the cafeteria
  • Get community volunteers, parent volunteers, etc to help clean the schools and make sure guidelines are issued to protect kids at home

WHATEVER IT TAKES.

Do EVERYTHING you can to keep that school open. It is absolutely critical. If the conversation begins with "why we shouldn't open the schools", I will reject that mindset. The mindset needs to be "what has to happen to make sure schools are open"... Start there, and go down that path.

I will back Trump on this one.... which doesn't mean anything that I back him because my opinion is relatively meaningless, but I will be at any school board meetings I can voicing that opinion.
 
I agree.

I think schools need to figure out how to have a combination of virtual and physical schooling.

Let the parents decide which works for them. Those that need to physically be at school due to poverty or both parents working can. Those that have the luxury of one parent working can keep them home. This would hopefully result in less transmission of covid at the schools due to less students and more spacing.

We appreciate you coming out of the closet.
 
I am sure the flu kills more people every year than surgery germs so why should the doctor and scrub nurses etc... wear masks?? They have RIGHTS!
 
Guess who hates Jews and still has a job? Desean Jackson still getting more support than condemnation from African-Americans.

Give people an inch and they'll take a mile. The "getting even tour" is in full swing. Expect more of the same.

Only person I’ve seen defend him is Stephen Jackson, who had terrible reasoning. Who else has commented?

Drew Brees was crucified for saying he wanted to stand for the national anthem. DeSean quotes hitler and it’s “not a big deal”.

The cancel culture doesn’t cancel their own.
 
That's a good point. Out of the woodwork they came to condemn that tone-deaf Drew Brees!

I avoid the news. I've got enough problems of my own to navigate. Padre Privilege, I suppose.

Once again it becomes a pick and choose affair. With racism there should be no opposing sides taken for there should only be one conclusion to make.
 
It’s funny when dems scream that trump killed people because he said plaquenil was a good drug to fight against Covid. Some actually want him charged with murder. Many in this thread and others have said as much. Of course we know that isn’t true.

Then cuomo sends thousands of people to their death by sending Covid positive pts into nursing homes. People died as a direct result of his actions and the dems make excuses. Chaz/chop areas were promoted by dem media as safe places of peaceful protest, even said they were a festival atmosphere. People were murdered and still the dems say nothing.

Ilhan Omar wants to destroy America. She has said many times she hates America and we are a terrible country. She wants to overturn the entire government and eliminate capitalism. Meanwhile, she’s married her brother and she’s using her campaign funds to pay herself and her husband over $1million. The other “squad” members are equally hateful of all things American.

The dems hate America. The dems hate American people. They will gladly destroy the entire country to win an election.

If you vote for them, they will destroy you too.

Says the dem who clings to identity politics until it’s used against him. Dems cling to cancel culture until it comes for them too. Funny how that works.
