then the leader (trump) should lead by example and donate all his funds.
he has executed more socialist programs than bernie has.

It seems you don't know what socialism means.

it's too bad really. withdrawing US troops from germany was the ONE trump policy that i absolutely agreed with. unfortunately it's more of an empty gesture (he genuinely thinks he's hurting us with this, when in fact a majority of the population welcomes it, lol) though: some of the troops (way too few) will be re-stationed to italy and belgium (ironically two countries that pay even less into NATO, which was the main trigger for this decision - but admittedly they don't have leaders that are as revered as merkel, or have shown such blatant contempt and disdain for him).

it's a move reminiscent of his 'withdrawal' of troops in syria: selling the kurds to his buddies putin and erdogan did NOT reduce american boots in the middle east. those troops are in saudi-arabia and iraq now. of course his base doesn't care about facts, and keeps pretending he's 'bringing the boys home' or 'saving money'. what a bunch of gullible morons, lol.

i would have welcomed a complete withdrawal of all american troops and weapons from german soil, especially the nukes stationed here, and the logistics for bombing and droning of civilians.

>disposable. So dramatic with that .2% death rate in that age group.

Just got home from a buddy's house. He had COVID. He was sick for two-three days eventually got over it. His mom with asthma also had it. He went back to work in a field that's in close contact with other people immediately after being cleared.

This is how most healthy people should handle it, not live in fear.

I agree. I work at a hospital I'm putting in work. But not everyone is lucky like us and are on the dole, which sucks. Its depressing. It would be a good time to get a degree if you hadn't by this point, regardless of age. Small entreprenaurs have been decimated by this. I haven't eaten out since March...but that's mostly because my wife got me a badass Weber grill and I have an executive Costco membership lol. If I want a steak i put charcoal in the chimney Been grilling a lot of meat this summer. And having a lot of parties because I trust my social group to not come if they're ill.

I think we should quarantine at-risk people, as long as they're willing, and things that can be done remotely should. My job could be totally be done remotely but I and my boss feel that it is better for the patients if I am there because sometimes having a big dumb animal in the room is important. But this school year is gonna be a bust for my kids...gonna go to virtual academy I have a colleague whose husband is someone who sets up charter schools....i wonder what they're doing lol.

And i love my health. I know its temporary, especially now that my life is half over (if I'm lucky) and I'm facing entropy and death down the road. I enjoy it as much as I can. I'm having a cocktail after swimming until 10 pm and I'm grateful for the present.

That doesn't work....it's been tried. We can't even fucking wear masks and you want people who are high risk to quarantine? LMFAO

We need to take the opposite approach. Take the low risk people and have them all geet together and cough on each other.

Isolating Eldery seems to be a really hot task, and once a nurning home get hit it's a sad massacre.
Then i'm curious about the "low risk" limits: < 50 years old ? So the only thing less is a vaccine, at a fair price.

next time i will wake up before typing

Ah ^^
