I can name names of people that are at the polar extremes of political opinion 
here.

If one posts, then the opposite end feels a need to post and then it is never 
ending.  

You are right that there is no clean delineation between the world and the 
world of politics.

My facts are tinfoil delusions to you.   So we attempt to practice kindness.

 

Similar to invoking godwin, we invoke Lent at times.

 

Just reminds us all that our opinions are very likely odious to someone else, 
so let’s not stink up the place.  

We have been pretty good at self policing, but calling us adults?  Come on man, 
that is a stretch.

Yes, I've been here for a long time.  Obviously it is Chuck's list and Chuck's 
rules but I'd argue for being adults about it (Sorry Steve) and avoiding 
politics while still discussing the real world.  As of late it seems that 
everything has been politicised and to continue lent really limits discussion.  
Before you know it we won't be able to talk about Tecate because it comes from 
Mexico or Fries because they are French.

IT is pretty ridiculous that we can't talk about anything without breaking

Stock markets going to crash ... lent

Hurricane response ... lent

National preparedness for a pandemic ... lent  

 

Facts still matter, or at least I think they do, and we should be able to talk 
about them without getting all melty about it.

You and I are going to have to agree to disagree.   That would be like
every state negotiating their own tariffs internationally.   Sorry but
United States MEANS coordination at a national level.   They should have
set up a means to determine need and then sent what wasn't available to
nowhere.   Come ON there was no prep for this, nothing at a national
level.  Our Federal government has been a joke through all this and is
become more so.   The CDC sent out initial test kits that the states had
to go behind their back to determine that they didn't work.   The CDC
had gotten it's pandemic response group removed a year ago.   Steve, you
are about to have the worst of the worst in your location.  I surely
hope you come out ok, but wouldn't it have been nice to have _some_
national preparedness?
