Our politicians sit by and make money on the stock market , more than many of us will make in a lifetime. They don’t care. Unless somehow, they are drained of voters (thousands to millions of deaths) they won’t care.
$$ makes everyone suspect and no one infallible...
Rush included, for sure.
I love Rush, but have also heard him sound convincing on an area with which I am familiar and he was not. His facts were literally wrong yet he sounded good.
U r toooo trusting-—his motivater is $$, not country...
Let me know next time u see him on a commercial flight, OK?
Bullcrap, you don't know Rush or ignore what he says.
He's rich, why should he take a commercial flight?
Are you against wealth?
Nope and nope. I stopped taking him as an absolute truth speaker a long time ago, though. $ and influence (power) corrupt.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid...
I think you’re correct, and I believe that people need to be prepared for at least some disruption that may occur to everyday life. It may be more important to people who live in very populous metro areas, than to others; but my husband and I have had experience with simple power outages that alone have caused us to become “preppers” in a small way. We’re thinking of escalating that effort somewhat.
I’ve found the “airborne/not airborne” argument to effectively be a ‘difference without a distinction’. Ebola may not be airborne in the sense that a pinworm infection can become; but if someone at the crucial point of shedding virus sneezes or coughs in your face, that’s “airborne” to the common sense of most people. Thus, the statement that you “can’t get it sitting next to someone on a bus” is confusing, and probably untrue. It depends on the stage of the infection, and the nature of contact.
I don’t believe in letting myself panic - it steals too much energy and discipline from straight thinking; and I’m generally optimistic, given the way this has panned out so far in the U.S. But I do believe that a little bit of prep is a smart idea, especially if you are in a highly populated area, use public transportation, etc.
(By the way: I’m new here, but I believe I’ve seen threads on prepping on FR in the past. Is there a ping-list for that?)
Thanks,
JT
OK, we just feel differently... I still like him and listen in (but switch to others often...)
So I used my rose and flower spray which contains imidicloprid. It took two applications but that did the trick. Luckily I got on it before they multiplied like they used to.
As far as I am concerned, fleas are a plague.
