The fact you're one of the sheep is your choice.

The whole thread is about Boomers going about their daily lives.

I’ve been to Lowe’s 5x this week.

It’s boomer central. The parking lot has been packed every time. It’s alarming


I just came back from there to pick up some soil. Everything from the garden area to lumber to paint is packed.

Anyone who has seen more than three of your posts knows you are a liberal.

I don't blame you. I would deny it too.

And the more they all stay in"
This is not just for the elderly. The more all ages stay home the sooner this will be over.
My mom is 86 and doesn't go out. She is normally out 4-5 times a week. I pick up her groceries and things she needs and bring them to her house. We do not hug at this time. She is concerned and well aware what is at stake.

Everyone is sitting around the house..

They look at the house a lot more than normal and say, "I never noticed that...I better fix it...I'm going to Lowes."

just because I've lost some freedoms doesn't mean I'm inconvenienced at the moment

I guess you could call working from home an inconvenience if you want, but I don't

Fine! Give us your address. One of us will stop by and tell you when it's over.

You need anything? We can run by with some extra toilet paper.

They are entitled. They have lived through the greatest economic boom in the history of the industrialized world. They went to college for pennies on the dollars. They had healthcare for a fraction of what it cost now.

They are in for a VERY rude awakening if shite actually hits the fan. I think all of this will be over in a couple of months, but when these older people start getting sick en masse because they didn't want "their freedom" taken away, they will be hollering the same shite about "their rights" when the hospital refuses them due to literally being out of supplies.

They aren't looking at the bigger picture. They are, in a word, shortsighted.

That’s how politics works now days. Go over to the poli board and disagree with them on one thing and they ask you if you voted for ‘her’. Go over to Reddit politics and defend one thing Trump has done so that means you’re a hardcore Trump supporter.

If you live to be 120 years old you will never have contributed/ suffered/ survived the hardships nor heartache that a 70-100 year old has.
You pathetic Me, me, I, I generation have zero legitimate complaints concerning life on this Earth.
