re: What has this world wide crises taught you about life, the USA, the world, etc?

It’s taught me to hate China and I now know some states will become authoritarian in the midst of a crisis.

Mass majority is retarded

More broadly, there is always more "left tail" risk than you are accounting for. Just imagine if the EMP had happened during this same time period.

That some people only care about sounding like the smartest, most morally superior person in the room. I’ve seen some people that this time last year couldn’t stand JBE now hanging on every word he says and saying the rest of us are selfish, foolish, all around terrible people, etc. for wanting to open back up or bringing up that this virus isn’t nearly as bad as predicted.


On the flip side I’ve seen people who can’t stand Trump, the GOP, and anything remotely Republican flipping on the Dems and preaching about personal responsibility to stay in or go back to work/open things up, and calling this an excuse for the government to make a huge power grab. It’ll surprise me if some of these folks keep the same attitude in the voting booth though.

This has taught me that seemingly smart, successful people totally lack the ability to think for themselves.

The concept of risk is not well understood by the masses.

The media sensationalizes stories by magnifying and distorting the reality of situations like this.

Many people are not aware that there is nothing new under the sun. Infectious diseases have emerged, infected and killed many people for centuries. We now are to live like Hobbits because the media screams about the “case fatality rate” much greater than the flu; when in reality, it likely will kill less people than flu overall and less per case.

Democratic Politicians think hating Trump is More important than their constituents having jobs and a life of freedom. We shall see if this is a winning strategy.

Trump talks too much sometimes, but so do all politicians.

Pence is a professional.

People wear masks to “feel” something. I don’t know how that “feeling” Benefits them, but unless you are intubating a patient with pneumonia, you probably are ok to walk in a park and certainly drove your car without a mask.

I realize after the last few months. This country doesn’t have the stomach or strength our grandparents had. If this was a true war instead of a virus the liberal left and media wouldn’t allow for a 100,000 deaths even to secure our freedoms.

1. Do not trust numbers given out by the government or media.

2 Politicians will do anything to ruin the other side. Even if it means ruining our country.

1) Americans in general are pussies.
2) I need to get out of NYC and move back down south ASAP.
3) Cops are as terrible as I thought they were, they are not the common persons friend. They 100% will comply with orders to take guns when that day comes.
