Uneducated people only think about THEIR rights right NOW. Educated people understand that just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD.

Being "Educated" has nothing to do with it.  Different parts of the country have different value systems.  Southerners tend to place a higher value on personal freedom than other parts of the country.  There are plenty of "uneducated" people in other parts of the country who are fully willing to stay inside for however long the government tells them to.  Its not because of their education level, its because of their value system.

How much time have you spent outside the south? I grew up in the south. Spent the first 24 years of my life in the south. I have since lived in CO. I've traveled to 45 of the 50 states. Honestly, I don't think the south is nearly as unique in this regard as you might think.

I grew up in the south, and spent 14 of the first 17 years of my life in the south, then 10 years in the Midwest, then the last 10+ years back in the south.

Yeah, people in NC and Georgia are like people in every state except parts of New England and parts of California.

All of our news and other media happen to come from those parts of NE and Cali so it just seems like we’re different.

Who's going to be able to afford it when you're unemployed?   If it's part of an infrastructure package sure.  But broadband expansion is way down on the list of things this country needs right now.

I think it  ought to be free.  Support it with some sort of tax just like roads/bridges etc.  Maybe a small tax on internet sales or advertising  or the like.

When people say "California" what they're really talking about coastal California from San Francisco south through San Diego. I think a lot of people would be shocked by what they'd find in California outside of that relatively small geographical area.

We’re gonna need UBI and massive socialist programs to actually help people just survive but meanwhile Las Vegas mayor on cnn is talking about opening up the casinos and how America should just open everything up and if some places become hot spots, it’s that establishments fault and then let the free market figure it out. Can’t make this poo up.

I saw that on PBS newshour last night.  Mayor of LV is a fuging idiot.  they asked her how they could social distance a casino and she basically replied " I don't know its up to them to figure it out "

Yep, that state votes republican 40/60. That 60% is just so consistent that the state is always blue. But yeah, it’s not what people think. PA is the same.

Yeah, if you go to SF or LA or Orange County or San Diego, it's gonna fit the stereotype. Outside of those areas.... eh, not so much.

The governor of PA said he's thinking about opening the state up in sections, with the most rural areas opening up first.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
