Yes, I saw that on FB a cpl days ago. Very accurate.

Depends.

Of those three aspects, I'm most concerned about economics. People losing their jobs and businesses going bankrupt are very serious problems.

I'm less concerned about authoritarian government policies, although I might change my mind about that . . . depending on what future actions our government takes (if any).

Honestly, I'm not worried about the virus. I mean . . . I'll take the precautions that I think are reasonable and prudent, but I'm not going to get all worked up over it . . . like some people.

I understand that other people may feel differently than me about some of these things . . . and that's okay.

Nope. We have experts on here who say you can’t be all 3.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Amen, brother

 

[tired]

Experts at running their mouths and telling others how to feel, think, and behave. Those experts?

 

[Shooter McGavin.sixpack]

I definitely feel this way. All 3 are inseparable not only in this crisis, but to run a society in general.

Its hard to be this guy when you turn on a news network or CSPAN and dont see a single person articulating your point of view. 600+ members of congress and none think quite like me, am I insane or is this the problem? I want us opened up within reason and a way to enforce with education, not punishment, the behaviors that open us back up. Perhaps I am a madman.

It's exactly where I am. All three represent unique threats. Just like in the military, you do not want to fight a 3 front war. We have pushed the virus back, which was the initial and potentially most dangerous threat. We just have to make sure the sneaky bastard doesn't try to blindside us in the fall.

The economy is next. As Buffet said yesterday, the Federal Reserve saved the economy from uttter devastation, and printing money was the right thing to do, but we have no idea of what the long term ramifications are going to be. The economy will be different, but it's good to have a little shakeup. It allows fresh ideas and new innovation to explode. It take a few years, but we will come out stronger in the other side.

The biggest and longest battle is going to be with our government. Not just federal either. For the first time I can recall, we have now seen it's not just a risk of an over reaching federal government that presents risk, but state and local governments now have the taste of blood in their mouths. It doesn't and won't get discussed, but Trump actually set one hell of a precedent in not instituting sweeping federal actions. But unfortunately that opened the clown car door to the state and local Bozos... I guess we have another 3 front war on our hands.

I end with one final word of wisdom that Buffet shared yesterday...

Yep

 

[WilCoDawg]

SPS experts say you must be solely in the top circle; that you’re paranoid with a tinfoil hat if you touch that right circle; and that you’re a greedy, heartless bastard if you touch the left circle. Think of the all the people you will kill if you step outside your home’s threshold!!!! MURDERER!!!!

 

[aTotal360]

I was told only one thing can be true at a time.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Yes.

 

[kired]

Lol, feel like I flip-flop on this issue constantly

 

[Raiderdawg.sixpack]

Agree completely. Personal and public decisions need to be measured against all 3. People should be all 3.

 

[FreeDawg]

Glad to know there are others that think rationally like me. Sometimes it feels like I live in the twilight zone surrounded by stupid.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Me every day juggling the three:

I don't personally know anyone who has had coronavirus. I know two people who have committed suicide during this. I am more concerned about the psychological impact of this.

 

[WilCoDawg]

A very forgotten group that’s suffering from the isolation.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Cound me in

It think we all have concerns, as we should, with all 3. First to me by far is the collapsing economy. As a guy over 50 with college kids I’ve worked to hard to see my 401k destroyed along with millions of jobs and the potential available jobs for my kids. I’m willing to take the risks daily while being smart but we have to get back to work as close to 100% very very soon.

I have concern about the virus itself to a certain extent, but NOT the Chicken Little, end of the world plague like many have or did have, and I know our healthcare and pharmaceutical companies are figuring this out. We have changed the way we interact forever now and we must enjoy going to the beach and restaurants and football games and know that treatments are coming out now and vaccine is around the corner.

I obviously am a big conservative and do not want big government running my life and I do have a hard time with this protective order denying people the right to work and make a living. Can’t stand seeing and hearing if stories of job losses, small businesses going under and yes the suicide rate is up, domestic violence, poverty, etc.

We have to find that balance very quickly.
