They will be forced to shut down along with the country except hopefully enforced more strictly.

This topic and a lot of the posts in this topic are not being made in good faith

Why is WWF allowed to still operate when it's fake? There's nothing more non-essential.

What's more frustrating is the fact that they are completely eliminating drink service. You have to explicitly ask for a drink, and all they'll give you is water.

Which is 100% a cost-cutting measure. It's not like they are increasing transmission of covid by giving you a Coke instead of a water.

If you discourage people asking for drinks, that's less people doing so and less potential risk for transmission.

Yes we are. We've made more progress on police reform doing that than being peacefully ignored. A racist police state is going down and all the right can do is concern troll about small businesses. (Which they routinely destroy by supporting legislation that allows small businesses to get rekt.)

This is what people don't understand. There's been decades of peaceful protests that haven't accomplished anything meaningful.

Property is more important than lives.

He's an older white male, so he is going to have some inherent biases but obviously nothing like Trump.

Are you saying we should only do essential activities until a vaccine?

I dont think we should take unnecessary risks. People are dying.

Call a social worker to deescalate the situation

If I wait until the virus goes away to get a haircut or do other things then I'll be waiting until there's a vaccine which we'd be lucky to see this year.

Do you consider a haircut at a barber or salon to be essential?

Just because it's open doesn't mean it's not high-risk. The virus hasn't gone away.

This. Why not just cut your own? If you don't want to cut, you can just buzz it with a guard length of your choice. There's a ton of YouTube videos that make it easy. A barber is not strictly *necessary*

What in the last decade makes people think these shame tactics work? You cant shake hands when your fist is clenched

To be fair, you can only try to shake hands so many times. This tactic has not worked.

Hopefully Biden can institute a federally mandated lockdown and stay at home order that is federally enforced to contain covid. People have proven they cannot be trusted to stay at home

Not entirely wrong, tbh

It's time to let him go. You don't want to be implicitly supporting that.

It's literally good for the country because it's taking money from the rich. The stock market consolidates wealth into the already wealthy. Walmart for example does not need any more profits. And honestly, if this wakes people up to Trump, it's worth everyone taking a hit economically.

Maybe lethal force is not an appropriate reaction to a non-lethal action. Maybe killing should not be the default action if something doesn't go exactly as planned.

24 hours is not long enough to extrapolate a trend. Cases are still expected to spike long term unless they decide to shut down.

It's still expected that you stay home and inside as much as possible. The exception is protests which have become essential in today's society in light of recent events.

Short answer. Stay inside at home.

This was expected. Vaccine or not, there is a reason why the new normal is a phrase. We need to adapt society to live with this virus

People never stop growing and learning. Cancel culture is so stupid.

Some things shouldn't have to be "learned"

dude there isnt going to be a lockdown. No ones going to listen to politicians anymore. Especially since the protests caused social distance to become an afterthought.

the protests can prove one of two things...

either covid was a joke cause if people dont get sick from the protests, they will say it was unnecessary to close down.

if people get sick, the same people will say fuck off you allowed this to happen as our leaders and we lived through 3 months of being shut down and were not doing it again.

Shutting is going to be necessary and will need to be enforced. We still have a pandemic that is killing people, and you don't get to infect other people. This is about everyone's health.

This is where I break with cancel culture.

Almost all those were over 5 years ago. They're stupid and insensitive but unless he's said things in the same vein recently not necessarily sure he should be held to task over them now.

Did he recently gain a surge in popularity?

There shouldn't be a statute of limitations for racism. It needs to be stamped out. I would take a look at anyone not supporting removing this actor.

So it can still happen. Articles like this are dangerous. It is still not okay to go out ignore social distancing. The best thing for everyone is to encourage people to stay home as much as possible.

Why is it so hard for people to just stay home when there is a global pandemic? Work from home if you can, stay home. Order essentials only online (to not overwhelm supply chains). People causing this to last longer than its necessary because they just cant stay home.

Its probably not happening. People are returning to work and the stock market is up.

They shouldnt though. COVID is still out there and with everyone going to work will overwhelm the medical systems.

When police respond disproportionately to non people of color, then yes its privilege. And again, with recent events its tone deaf to call police if there is peaceful looting and property damage if its being done in a safe way

I hate that a man can speak to something like unity as we fight for the justice and freedoms of black people can get hate just because they didn't word it in a way that everyone liked. His overall message was pure, there was nothing that could be twisted as a slant to the movement, and he's right with the first point regardless of if black supremacy is a thing or not. Black people have been fighting this fight for generations and we still have a corrupt police system that targets them, it can't just be their anger but everyone's anger that these injustices occur. It's a black issue, but an issue that needs every kind hearted person to fight back against otherwise it continues just like it has since forever.

People need to stop hurting those trying to help.

No. Words matter and people know what they are saying. Its time time to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt

Bernie has lost all credibility with me a long time ago.

This is a loaded question. It depends on the situation, but killing should never happen over property.

legendary_zell posted...

Are you ever going to acknowledge how the police caused this anger? What they need to do to change? You are one, shouldn't you be wondering why people hate you so much and what you can do it improve your relationship with the people?

This. And again, it's property. This has been building for decades and is much bigger than "things"

Mods? This topic is very tone deaf given recent events.

This is why even after a vaccine, we can't allow states and counties to fully open up.

Whether it's violent or not is not the point. The point is that many people think property is more important than life.

Its really easy to just do it yourself and save yourself (and others) from going outside.

Biden wants to do the same thing

I understand the point they're trying to make but we need to enforce social distancing now more than ever.

Target is also based in Minneapolis, I think.

What does this have to do with anything?

RoadsterUFO posted...

You two appear to be ignorant of the increases in suicides that occur when the economy is gutted and people are unsure if they are going to be able to feed their children or pay their bills.

Once again, the jobs would have been lost anyways due to illness/death and lack of customers. The choice was lost jobs vs death and lost jobs.

BeantownHero posted...

Target denied protesters access to purchase things like milk during the protests and they're a very well known contributor to the police department there.

the locals on the ground, from what I've read, have some legit beefs with target

Those aren't legit beefs

Jobs are replaceable. Your life is not

This ends the discussion. People can always get different jobs if their place of business closes. There's are a lot of remote opportunities that didn't exist before. We would have had more lives lost and the jobs would still be lost if we didn't shut down. We're beginning to see this as states reopen prematurely.

AzNDarkSamurai posted...

but if necessary things are the only choices in life in regards of what to do out there, we might as well stay in quarantine

because there will be nothing fun or entertaining to do outside of necessities

There's plenty of things you can do do for fun remotely or outside with a small group while maintaining social distancing. But like it or not, the new normal dictates that many of the things we used to do for fun will simply no longer exist.

I know people who got fired from asking for a promotion, so you need to be careful with this.

It's a good opportunity for society to think about what is really necessary. Sit down restaurants are not necessary, movie theaters, a lot of the service industries are now obsolete.

It's time to start phasing out planes and flying until they can run on renewable resources anyways.
