Thanks. In a PM to me you wished me well in my pending furlough.

Do you have the courage to be a Man and to stick to your Word, in private and in public? Your actions suggest otherwise.

This is a remarkably level-headed and informative post for a New York magazine. Worth a quick perusal if you have time on your hands...

This pretty much sums up the whole problem
'Yet, even now, the public-health debate continues to proceed in a maddeningly binary, quite partisan manner, with advocates of “reopening” on one side and those pushing for continued lockdowns on the other'

Maddeningly is absolutly correct. I am enraged how our way of life has been totally destroyed along with my career.....simply because a more measured and targetted approach has not been taken. Its the all or nothing way. The sledgehammer instead of the scalple.

Too late for me.....but everyday that this continues is one more rung down the ladder that society must later climb.

Sure we may not get it exactly right.....but a full shutdown certainly isnt working.....much like a 'let er rip' approach. FFS.....take a stab at something in the middle at least.

One of the stupidest things I've heard, from my own airline, was that "COVID-19 does not discriminate." YGTBFKM.

Every now and then I feel all hope is lost...

Right now is one of those times.

The world really is just too complex for most people to navigate. Remember 50% of the population is below average IQ.

Yep. George Carlin said it best."Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

Isn't 50% of the population below the median IQ? 😀
