Those expiration dates generate so much waste. We just give ours away on craigslist.. better than a landfill.

I remember way, way back in the day the "used" PC parts you'd order on ebay would wind up getting bid so high they'd be sold for more than a brand new "latest and greatest" model.

You assume that lockdowns actually work. We have three years of evidence to suggest otherwise. And if that isn’t enough there is this gem of a study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2130424/ Turn

That god for that. Counties that didn’t have such a government turned into authoritarian hellholes (Australia, China, and Dominican Republic are good examples). Or are you arguing we should have gone full China?

Except there were no mass casualties and no first world healthcare system collapsed. Covid was not space aids. We knew this within weeks of “two weeks to flatten the curve” and rather than celebrate the models got it wrong, society decided

While your anecdote is indeed sad, that still doesn’t mean lockdowns and masks worked or should have been forced. Just like yes tons of people died from covid, but that doesn’t make our response okay.

We didn’t even understand the mitigations that were enacted, which is the worst part. To this day nobody can provide evidence that the lockdowns or almost three years of mask mandates did a single damn thing. And if the answer requires a ph

Maybe you start from the premise that you cannot control or contain a highly infectious respiratory virus? Maybe you do a cost-benefit analysis? Too bad doing cost/benefit was impossible because lockdowns were never tested or proven be

It doesn’t even matter what the death counts were. No lives were saved by flattening the curve (assuming we even managed to do that, which is very questionable). The whole intent was to spread them out over time to avoid overwhelming health

We basically had three fields. First and last, but that was because we had to interface with tons of internal and external entities that required it. And we had a freetext “spoken name” that would be used all over the site. Good times. Ther

Thanks for the name calling. But don’t worry I’m used to it by now. Your responses do a great job highlighting how naked fear coupled with intense propaganda can turn people into monsters. I truly believe if one of “the experts” gave permis

I find running uncontrolled experiments on a population without their consent highly unethical and immoral. The whole thing was unethical and immoral. And I have just as much of a right to that opinion as you on yours. Unfortunately society

My friend, it isn’t 2020 anymore. It’s okay to admit you got fooled. Everybody will eventually convert to my side. Because those of us who see the lockdowns as a colossal mistake will be (sadly) proven right. What we did in response to covi
