Kevin O'Leary seconds your thoughts I thought this was a great idea when I read about it a year or so ago. But alas I have dogs so it wouldn't work for me.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Massachusetts' government has put barriers in place for learning pods to make sure they don't compete too much with the teachers' unions: Learning pods, or groups convened by up to five families , will be able to operate without licenses , as long as a parent is on-site at all times.

Re: Investment Quotes - Some Good, Some Bad

Dave Ramsey 's quote about giving back to the community caught my eye. The general assumption in our culture seems to be that if a wealthy businessman who has worked hard and acquired considerable wealth during his lifetime does not "give something back" to the community in the form of al...

Re: Only 6% of covid-19 deaths were solely caused by it

Re: Only 6% of covid-19 deaths were solely caused by it

I have a hypothetical. --A person with high blood pressure, mid 40s, get Covid and dies. Listed as Covid plus a comorbidity. What's the thinking behind a very large percentage of those dying from Covid having had co-morbidities? Most of these, possibly except for weight loss, can't be resolved in a...

Re: Only 6% of covid-19 deaths were solely caused by it

The programs coming out of that era I think are quite popular with Americans. I am very sure if you passed a Universal Basic Income law today and gave every citizen $5,000 a month, pretty quickly that would be "quite popular" with Americans as well. That does not make it right to do. Nor ...

In general I am not fond of political discussions online but I think the ones on this board have been fairly civil.

Re: A Current Fad?

Under the category of “things that really don’t matter much” I have a question. Is the current rampant craze of tattoos in the U.S. only a fad? I grew up in an era where tattoos were reserved for sailors or guys with large biceps that had “MOM” tattooed on their arm. I can now walk through Walmart ...

Re: Kenosha Riots Turn Deadly as Shootouts Erupt

Serious question, has Trump tried to call for calm and healing? Or does he only threaten to send in the military/National Guard? Maybe he will tonight in his acceptance speech? Do one or the other I guess. Doing both would be strange, but not inconsistent with how he does things. If the left is usi...

Maybe not exactly answering the original question. But I think in the future, I will wear a mask when shopping during a cold or flu outbreak in my locale. It's pretty obvious when those happen. Also I will be carrying sanitizer during those times. And my own pen. There will still be some stigma to ...

Of course this is purely speculation, but I think the virus will burn out before the next 12 months and/or we will have herd immunity. I also think a lot of the Covid hysteria will magically disappear after Nov 3. Absolutely. Case in point: The mainstream media is now blaming Trump for pressuring t...

Mask Question

So time for everyone to give their opinions. A year from now, will we all still be required to wear masks in most public places? How about 2 years from now? And if mask requirements under the law go away, will there still be a sizable majority of people who continue to wear them? If so, will most of...
