The virus in LA could be many times worse without the lockdowns Could be, but tell that to the people being run out of business. The powers that be are trying to force everybody to stay home, which happens to be where most of the viral transmission happens. Staying home is not a problem for me. I'm...

Sometimes good for entertainment, but usually best to avoid. The author is in LA, where ever increasing government lock downs have ruined lots of small bu...

"Politics needs a leave us alone coalition"

Can I put up a tent out back?

I agree that a lot of the rural folks around here want to be left alone, but there's a double-standard. They want to be left alone when it comes to themselves, but too many of them are completely fine with people who don't think like them being told how to live. Yeah that shit is annoying. Seems to...

You know what we never hear? "Why won't rural folk work to understand urban folk?" Rural folk aren't trying to tell urban folk how to live. They just want to be left alone. What do you mean ? I'm from a very, very rural place and no one ever bothers people there. They seem to constantly worry about...

;;;vv I think we're talking about what rural people want v. what urban people want as expressed in their collective or cumulative political actions/decisions/votes and the people they elect to represent them. Like Tuesday in Georgia? The winners do not represent rural people. Out my way Difi and Kam...

You know what we never hear? "Why won't rural folk work to understand urban folk?" Rural folk aren't trying to tell urban folk how to live. They just want to be left alone. I know that's your personal outlook/belief, Rod, but do you think it's a widely shared perspective? I don't. Most urban folk d...

Rural folk aren't trying to tell urban folk how to live. They just want to be left alone.

We both know this isn't true

You don't speak for me.

I'm not being rhetorical or snarky, if there's a good answer to that question I'd love to learn it.

You and I both my friend.

Big business owns the government. Part of the reason they are doing so well right now, while the little guys are getting crushed.

Oversimplified generality, yes, but there is some there there.

MAKE POLITICS BORING AGAIN!

There's a slogan I can support. If only the government wasn't so big, it wouldn't be so important.

Happy birthday Grandpa. (soon)

the reality is this pandemic (and much of science in general) has been dragged into the the political morass. Ya think?? I do. I get the impression LBRod doesn't. Plenty about the covid mess has been ridiculously politicized. I just thought this article was not political. It doesn't even mention Tr...

It did leave me with one worthwhile realization which had been bubbling up in me for a while: The main reason Red America hates Blue America is that Blue America hates Red America. Bless their hearts.

Gotcha. Carry on friend.

many are still in favor of their approach, and seem to be willing to pay the price. If the many in Sweden are like the many in the US, it's more that they're willing to let others pay the price. There is something to be said for not crashing the economy, and letting people make their own choices.
