We have about 18" of snow on the ground from yesterday. We're at least 6 weeks out from sustained warmer weather here.

Reading the article I posted earlier would make my statement make a lot more sense.  Explains a lot of NYC woes also, that and the fact that they are packed in so tightly that social distancing and not touching surfaces is almost impossible.  NYC is almost like it's own cruise ship.

I went from thinking they were bioengineering diseases in Wuhan to thinking about the 5g to now actually taking this pretty seriously.
We wore gloves at work all week. I work at O'reilly Auto as a commercial manager dealing with all of your local repair shops. It was pretty much normal business on our end this week with a slight taper off at the end. Most of the franchise places were a bit slower but your mom and pop places with repeat business were still keeping on. We are considered essential business so.. i bet they'll stay running but I'm thinking about pulling the plug for myself.
I have lung issues and I have better plans for my death than this bullshit.

Just to put it into perspective, just the Denver metro area is over 8000 square miles. There are only 3500 in the entire Colorado National Guard. That's roughly one person for every 2.3 square miles. Meanwhile, there's almost 3 million residents in those 8000 square miles.

That's not gonna work unless people willingly comply in which case it's unnecessary to begin with.

I don't think they do it with belief that force is neccessary for every person..it makes people take it serious if nothing else.

I had already read it earlier today. I just didn't want to post it, because like I said, I'm kinda torn on sharing it. I think it's good info, but I'm kinda of the mind that people need to be a little irrationally scared of this right now or else they won't listen to the guidelines that will save a lot of high risk people if they're followed.

This is really assigning a lot of blame to our current administration--mirroring Trumps on words throughout this process--but it's hard to argue with. And, it shows how partisan politics is really not the game you want to be playing, when real leadership is required.

Honestly, it is our current administration’s inability to effectively lead that scares me the most. I keep talking about martial law, this administration is the reason I think it will happen at some point. I am independent, so I’m trying to remain in the middle. Facts are much less disputed when you are not wearing red or blue colored shades. The answer here is not throwing money at the problem, it is listening to the experts, and making tough choices to make a difference. I’m not sure any previous American leader in the last 40 years would have fared any better honestly.

What are the main constitutional rights you are seeing infringed upon presently?

All criminal courts are being delayed which impacts the right to a speedy trial.  This is especially true for people in jail who are awaiting trial. Child custody and other hearings are on hold. Parents have a constitutional right to parent their children. If the other parent just decides they don’t want to allow visitation to occur then too bad, it isn’t happening until court starts back. There are numerous other examples as well, but I dont want to bore you.

What do you mean by martial law? Do you think the military is going to show up and start shooting people on site?

No, martial law mean habeas corpus will be suspended. That means our local law enforcement and court system could be superseded by some form of the military. I think large cities where residents will need to remain in doors will be the ones effected. It means residents will be forced to remain isolated, without their consent. I think this is the last line of defense and if it happens then our government has run out of options. That’s my opinion.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
