I first wanted to be a park ranger when I went to Yellowstone as a kid. Seemed like an easy, enjoyable way of living. As you get older you realize it’s all the weed smoking, living off the land hippies, and you want to join even more. But then I saw this in Austin and I feel like 90% of the job here is looking the other way when kids smoke weed and drink in parks and the other 10% is telling fat guys at Hippie Hollow to take the penis out their mouths.

Yeah, there is nothing unique about 8.5 million people living on a 300 square mile island. We have those all over the US. I don’t know what I was thinking.
I asked earlier, but no one responded. Throwing NYC out as an outlier due to its unique density is fine. What about Los Angeles? Shelter at home for 6 weeks and we're getting 60-80 deaths a day? 1,100+ total. Why will other non-NYC cities be different?

I don't think any other cities except maybe Chicago or San Fran really have the same potential as NYC. just my opinion. I think this will have some seasonality to it for the summer. Mid May is normal flu(not saying it is normal flu) end time and I think it was why the phases were put in such that places get as close to mid May before opening. I'm pretty sure Abbott knew that 25% opening of restaurants was not going to get restaurants to open so buys us another 2 weeks to get to mid May. they will at 50% IMO.
yes people will be risk averse by nature but we have a bunch of 20 to 30 somethings that are still 10 feet tall and bullet proof they can start spending money and working.
I agree generally. However, take a look at Los Angeles right now. It seeing about 50-80 deaths PER DAY right now. 1,100 total deaths. This is after being on "safe at home" for 6 weeks. Los Angeles is modern, car-centered city much like Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, etc. I don't see any reason to think that barring some changes in treatment, vaccine, etc., we're not going to see similar numbers (and higher) in cities if we return to normal. I mean, there's no real difference you could point to that would make me think other cities have built-in advantages that LA doesn't. Maybe for some under a hundred deaths a day is acceptable in a city of a couple million if that means things return to normal. I just don't see it right now. Hope I'm wrong.

Ya know there's posting in the CR, and there's your entire existence here is the CR, and everything you post about is CR angled, and anyone who dares disagree with your particular skew of life is an asshole, racist, sexist, or bigot. Sometimes all 4.
hahahaha
keep up the CR gatekeeping!

Cloak Roomers calling out hyperbole and a lack of nuance is the height of sweet, sweet, delicious irony.....
Perhaps you're unaware, but OnBoard and most of the others here who keep bitching about "CR" are, in fact, CR regulars. You just happen to agree with their position.

Being prepared in some phases is completely agreeable. But said poster often thinks we should just automatically be ‘ready’ for a virus that we know nothing about, like a new virus. Like this one. A lot of nuance that is lost in his “be ready for shit” posts, and his “be ready for shitposts”
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining

I don't understand. There's about 5-6 posts just lambasting a poster for suggesting we prepare better next time. You think this is an impossibility? A ridiculous suggestion? Or are you perceiving it as CR?

I'm in. I've become obsessed with DD the last two years. These showdowns can be both rewarding and infuriating.

Isn’t that idiot swam? I maybe thinking of another idiot.
No. Swam will at least respond when you call him on his bullshit. @EMAWesome posts lie after lie and then disappears when asked to address why he is lying. He's a coward. At least Swam will defend his positions.

Prefacing this with the caveat that these people do exist, and I'm sure we will see tons of anecdotal evidence in the future, but how many people are quitting gainful employment right at the beginning of the worst economic downturn since the great depression? So they can get some short term relief that might be a little more than they would otherwise receive?

Jesus man, these penny stocks are shady AF. Love it.
Agreed. I don't ever do this. Got some vanguard funds and an IRA, but never play with individuals stocks. Bought UAVS the other day at $.89 thanks to you assholes. Sold some this morning at $2.10. Still have a bunch left. Gonna let it ride. I do have some experience in the Grand Theft Auto virtual stock market. Made a virtual fortune.

What a terrible law. First, citizen's arrest statutes are just dumb to begin with. But placing evaluation of a felony, fleeing, and probable cause in the hands of civilians is moronic.
Fair enough. The summary I read left that out. License to kill.
Guys in street clothes with guns start chasing me. I defend myself, because well, there are armed men chasing me. My defending myself give the armed men legal grounds to kill me.
Fuck this fucking country.

Apparently under the Georgia Citizen Arrest Statute and self defense laws, if you have probably cause to believe someone committed a felony, you have the right to arrest them using your weapon. And if they attack you and try and take your weapon, you can respond with deadly force. That is what I read.
So I would like to see the video of what happened. And an explanation of their probable cause. Same as I would for any cop shooting someone who attacked them while in the course of arrest.
Maybe the law should be changed. I would not argue. I would probably say limit it to violent felonies. And I certainly would not be attempting to arrest someone for a burglary personally. I think it was stupid. But it very well have been legal under the law.
Wrong. To effectuate citizen's arrest, the crime must have been committed in your presence or with "immediate knowledge" of the crime. Not probable cause. Certainly not, "hey that guy running looks like a description I have heard of a criminal."

Shit, every time there's a story about a crime posted here, tons of posters describe in detail how they would have killed the perpetrator should they have been present.

What? Who is questioning the utility of public education? I’m dying for my kindergarten kiddo to get back into school because my wife and I just don’t get the same level of work done when we are part time teachers on top of our day jobs, and the kid needs socialization to be a well integrated member of society.
I don’t get how ‘The Left’ boogeyman comes into play...many of us are desperate to have childcare during the day in the form of mutually-beneficial school.
You must not be that familiar with the far right. They hate "government" schools. Hell, I've already seen multiple gleeful predictions on this board that perhaps the shutdown will open parents' eyes on the evils of govt education.
