Fantastic for all the businesses that are at 💯 capacity with a waiting list. From experience, it’s not really a reflection of the quality of the product or service. And people like novelty. So it’s never going to last, no matter how good. But I don’t do lineups. That goes for bars, restaurants, movies, etc. Plan B is really Plan A2 anyways 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I haven't eaten at one of those places in many years. I wouldn't go to a place without reservations available on a weekend anyway. You take your mother to that place that is typically busy on the weekend without reservations...You clearly don't love her. Same goes for your wife on Valentine's day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 So why not do what Mark Cuban proposed. Test every american every 2 weeks and reopen everything. You know we already gave out what $4T for bailouts. That could have been used to purchase tests. use the Production act to make that many tests. Don't tell me we can't do that.

Springfield Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well our shop had our best day since the stay at home orders today, pulling essentially the same type of gross that we’d expect to see on a day in the middle of May. People have stopped giving any ****s. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W We don't have the testing capacity to do that. To date we've only run 10 million tests in the US. There are more that 330 million people in the US. We don't have the tests or reagents or laboratory capacity to run 330 million every 2 weeks. We could do more if our leaders hadn't failed in ramping up our capacity.

That's fair...but there needs to be more thinking like this rather than "let's stay shut down until things 'settle down' a bit" The fact is, this is a virus and it isn't going to be eradicated before the country/world needs to re-open. Things can re-open while those who are nervous or uncomfortable delay their participation. Just like before the virus - if someone didn't feel like going to work or going out to eat, they didn't have to. We leave our homes every day risking something, so eventually we are going to have to accept this virus as just another one of the daily risks we decide to take/not take.

The problem here is that we really could improve our capacity and alleviate some of of that risk. Its unnecessary risk that people are trying to avoid and just diving back in is the opposite of that. All people want if for the federal government to use the immense power we give it to help us out in that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it...I don't have a solution obviously, I just like hearing things like what Cuban said. Because, the truth is, we will be dealing with this virus for a while so we need ideas on how to move forward with it being a part of our life.

I just think it's okay to call a spade a spade, whether you like them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinsCowgirl84 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) The photo of the ice cream came from Buca, just like Elon said... Once you disagree with the narrative the media is selling (and have no doubt, they are selling it), watch out... knives out.

Nor do I have the data that would help me. There is an organization that is tasked with acquiring, using and distributing that data to benefit us all. And they have said this week that they were successful in that and signaled that they have no further interest in it. I just wish we all could agree that the Feds have alot more they can and should be doing and the conversation starts and stops there until they do. The current leadership wants us to move on so bad that they will kill us to do it. If we dont let them we force their hand. Or atleast thats what I would hope. ****s gonna open up though cause people are dumb and greedy. So we will see what happens. 16 minutes ago, CousinsCowgirl84 said: The photo of the ice cream came from Buca, just like Elon said... Once you disagree with the narrative the media is selling (and have no doubt, they are selling it), watch out... knives out. Oh i get it so the media is telling me to buy ice creme from Elon Musk! If nothing else this should be an example of how confirmation bias works both ways. You are trying so hard to prove that you are correct and that we are wrong despite how little evidence you have of either. This is the only reason this conversation is even worth it for me. I give 2 little ****s if he ate ice creme or not, honestly. And I dont really care if you get it. But its amusing to see you wriggle yourself into this little knot to teach the libs on the interwebs a thing or two while you ignore the same **** you are preaching. Truth is, there is a little button on twitter you may or may not have knowledge of called a RE-tweet button. The libs use it all the time to share posts they thought were cool. And its crazy easy, so much so that even a conservative could use it. You just press it and voila! You post the same picture you were just eye-ballin' and without all the work of copying it, saving it, and coming off looking like you were claiming it was yours. Crazy how effective it is, really. I know Musk isnt that tech savvy, but if he had just used that instead of going through all the work of making it look like it was an original post, maybe there wouldn't have been confusion. But we cant expect him to know something like that. Not that any of this is at all important. And also, now I want a brownie.

TradeTheBeal! Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 On one hand, I sympathize with Musk regarding the factory. Other manufacturers were moving towards a restart and California wasn’t really on board. On the other hand, I think a trip to rehab is likely in Mr Musk’s near future. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
