Good for them. I hope others that have lost their livelihood have the balls to fight for it back also.
Indiana dropped their mask mandate. I can ALMOST see the light. So tired of this fooking mask.
The shutdowns have reached my career field now. A year later they can't finish houses because of national backorder on pieces and parts. Added with the outrageous lumber prices and it has basically come to a haukt on the building industry. We used to be booked out with jobs for months...we laid people off this week because we have no subdivions to build power in. Thanks media, you are doing a great job

We had a lot of family down for Easter last weekend. All of them made comments about how nice it was to decide for themselves if they want to wear a mask or not based on the place they're going. Or not worrying about forgetting and having a door guard brow beat them for not having one. When it was time to go back they all individually made comments about having to go back and be forced to wear masks again. I though about how sad that is.. How unfortunate that in America we have people being made to feel that way.
There are various degrees of perceived freedom. I watched a guy on youtube recently called Bald and Bankrupt, he's a white dude that lived in the EU but on weekends would buy a random ticket to some forgotten stan in the former soviet union. While there he would just walk around and talk to people, visit, and ask them questions about their life. Some of them, by American standards, would be considered well below the poverty line. These are people that forever lived behind the Iron curtain and now live under the rule of some soviet like government. He would often ask them about freedom. If they believed they were free. All of them, each and every one, said they were absolutely free. They could visit a park, walk down the road, visit stores. That was their perception of freedom. The reality is, every single piece of their existence is tightly controlled by their government, but as long as they assimilate to those rules they maintain the perception of freedom. Freedom does not die, but it can be slowly eroded to where people don't even notice they've lost it. The true test of ones freedom is to push that boundary and see how swiftly they are beat back into place.
In my head I often compare it to a dandelion in a yard full of grass. All them them living in the same area with the same common goal, survival and reproduction. The grass has it's existence and tolerates the government mower that cuts them all down to the same uniform size. The government looks over its lawn and is pleased with the result. As long as the grass can have its water and sun they continue to exist in it's perceived freedom. Sometimes a generous government gives them fertilizer. The dandelion too is just existing, but it's different, it gets cut to the same height as the grass and it's bloom taken away, the same application of fertilizer that brings life to the uniform grass, tries to kill the dandelion. Yet the dandelion persists despite everything thrown at it. Its leaves grow lower under the line of the mower height. It somewhat conforms to stay alive but It still becomes a target. If that same dandelion is transplanted to a location that is not as tightly controlled by the lawn government, like an overgrown field, it begins to understand what true freedom is. The world needs more dandelions. Be a fucking dandelion.

It's too bad you don't see anything about diet, exercise, and living a healthy lifestyle as another way to combat covid, or illness in general. As well as doing things that help bolster the body's natural immune system like supplementing with zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C. Eating whole foods instead of processed foods. Getting a good night's sleep so your body can rest and repair itself. Drinking water instead of pop. Just doing crazy stuff like that can really go a long way.

Oh absolutely. Not to mention the top research scientist who years ago wrote a medical paper on the capability to create this exact virus was prohibited from researching in the US so she went to China and was the head scientist at the wuhan lab doing coronavirus research. She has just disappeared in China and refuses to talk. The. "coincidences" are simply too great. Personally, there is no doubt. To me though, what is more disturbing. Is not the fact that it was covered up, or that the media is helping cover it up. It's that the vast majority of the American people believe and never question what they're being told.
I wholeheartedly agree. It is so disturbing to see.
For the most part, our society has been conditioned to be a spoon-fed, convenience-dependent mass. The path of least resistance is, well, easier to follow. Why push past our comfort zone and critically question anything? That might be uncomfortable.
If we don't feel good, our health care providers are ready and willing to write a prescription for any of a million different ailments. Never mind looking for a root cause. That's difficult. Just take a pill. Don't worry about the side affects, we can treat those too... Not saying modern medicine is bad. It is not. It has just been my own personal experience most health care providers (most don't deserve to be called Doctor) give you a ten minute office visit and are super eager to hand you a prescription, rather than listen, investigate, look for the deeper root cause, then make a diagnosis, and outline treatment options. They don't have time. They are running a business after all.
All of this, and much, much, more, has conditioned our society. We are weak. We are soft. We just want our stuff. We just want convenience. We don't want to think. We don't want to be uncomfortable. We don't like honesty, especially if it means our beliefs about something may have been wrong. Even worse is when those beliefs might be tied to a political party.

So I now realize I can't smell worth a damn anymore. My smell hasn't returned to what it was. They were cleaning out shitters downwind of the scaffold twice now. A gagging stench gets people running. I can sense it more in my mouth than nose. I'll get hints of smells hear and there but it's only faint. Or I had it again, just thought of that.....
Have you taken any zinc since the pandemic? I heard that Covid lowers your zinc which is what causes the lost of taste and smell. I’ve been taking it and D3 all along. I was told if I do get Covid that I wouldn’t lose those senses, But I never looked into it either. It’s worth a shot.
I was on Zinc and D3 for months before getting Covid. I lost taste and smell on a Wednesday and had it back by monday iirc.Have you taken any zinc since the pandemic?
