  2. Gee! I though that it was “Blow It Out Your……”

    Is that Nancy leading the House?

  3. All of this was perfectly well known a year ago when I found myself explaining to people that Fauci was perfectly correct in his advice not to wear masks.

    It’s a Brave New World.

  6. Most if not all of the mayhem of the Wuhan flu is creation of the mass media cartel.
    They have found how to keep power over the population since they found themselves on the losing streak in past few years.
    The point is that the ‘journalists’ never, as in never, tell the whole story, they pick those points that will get the attention of plebeians, as danger, mayhem, death and other such catastrophes. Any ancillary or qualifying points will diminish the shock value and interest of the plebes, at least that is the learning from the ‘journalistic’ skrool (sic).

    The whole situation of epidemic, shut down, destruction of economy and other general destruction of living is 100% creation of the dictatorial mind of politicians and their helpers in the media cartel.

    The absolutely most troubling thing is that the politicians, the medical industry, the media cartel can’t stop it. They are already in no win situation and just going along with the dicktat (sic) is an easy ride, since most of the plebeians are already in with the scam.
    They, the plebes, don’t know or don’t want to know and as long as the free money and other free stuff is coming in, they are happy, though one would think that they also know that it can’t last.
    A time is coming, one would think, in not too distant future, as in soon, when the payment becomes due. When it comes, the way out of it, as in all of the history, the politicians will send young men to die in war to cover for their bullshit.
    It could be a civil war, international war, world war, if there is no reason they will find one, guaranteed.

  8. Sadly, our entire culture … and our government “leaders” operate on the basis of … logical fallacy and false equivalence. We are told by MIT scientists that a sneeze can propel droplets up to 51 FEET!!!!! Hence the urgency for at least 6ft social distancing … and at least TWO masks! When the real takeaway is we shouldn’t be in public when we are ill. We should simply cover our mouth (in our elbow) when we sneeze. Done. Finished.

    But we have bought into the belief that we can SAVE our own lives. That we can “airbag” our way out of traffic fatalities while we text our trip status to our “followers”. That, my friends, is a logical fallacy. Have airbags ended traffic fatalities? No. Can we improve our odds by being “safe” ? Yes. To a point. Mike Rowe is a brilliant man whose motto has become “Safety third”.

    A perfect example of “Safety third” is the common practice of carpenters disabling the spring-loaded safety guards on their skilsaws. As it turns out, the safety guards actually bind the saw on some cuts, making the safety guard MORE dangerous than if it is disabled. Most contractors wedge a nail into the saw guard to disable it … and then RESPECT the saw by holding it until it stops spinning (or carefully setting it down on its side). They practice their OWN version of safety.

    I never used to do this with my worm-drive skilsaw … until … the “safety guard” almost cut off my foot. I got very used to just dropping my saw when finished with cuts … because the saw guard allowed me to just drop it *ahem* … “safely”. When cutting boards for a fence project, I did just that. However a small rock got wedged in the saw guard … and when I dropped the saw it was still spinning and backed up right over the top of my foot. It cut the whole top of my shoe … clear off. I dropped to the ground and grabbed my bleeding foot fearing the worse. I hesitated, debating whether I should take my shoe off to see the severed tendons or not. I finally took off my shoe, and was very, very, LUCKY that it was only a very superficial cut. Ever since then, I have disabled my saw guard and treat the saw like a poisonous reptile till it stops spinning. Thousands of cuts later … I’ve never been even close to a disaster like that again.

    We need to respect and identify dangers around us … but do so with intelligence and truth. Grasping at meaningless panaceas and things LABELED as “safe” … doesn’t save anything or anyone.

    1. ha ha ha !!!
      ah jeeze. that explains why I use a tie wrap to keep the godfersaken guard OUT OF THE WAY
      when Im fine tuning a cut. or opening a hole in the middle of a sheet of plywood.
      ha ha ha !!!!

      also, ironically, another trick is to keep the blade razor sharp so it cuts with ease and one doesnt need to push and push and push on it

    2. Kenji, I have a similar story. About thirty years ago, I cut through a two by four off the end of a bench. As the cut piece dropped to the floor, I, stupidly trusting the guard, allowed the still spinning saw to come to rest against my leg, just above the knee. well, a knot of wood had jammed the guard open, and the blade made a real mess of my leg. Seventeen stitches and two weeks on crutches, taught me a life long lesson. Power tools, just like firearms, will bite you if you disrespect them. Proceed accordingly with extreme caution, and situational awareness. Those of us that do survive into our later years, have usually learned that no matter how safe we try to be, it is only our direct experiences with our faults and stupidities, that have enabled our survival.

      1. Let’s just say that I have alot of self-inflicted scars and no missing body parts…yet.
        I moved up to chainsaws, grinders and extremely sharp chisels and draw knives.
        On one of my hospital visits, the bed beside me with a curtains around it and hearing the doctor fix a person’s missing fingers by cutting the bone to cover the skin over the end. Not a nice visit.

        1. Gentlemen … knock on wood … I got off easy with my little “instructional” experience. Your stories made me wince … and I wasn’t even there.

          Yes. A sharp fresh blade … and ONLY a carbide blade with a wide tooth set. A $10.00 blade can save an appendage or digit … cheap insurance.

    2. Ha. Social distancing is one of the great features of the wuhan virus. I hope the culture of staying out of my personal space is an enduring one.

      1. The doctrine of “social distancing” doesn’t apply when the junior-league Red Guard want to get in your face and remind you that you’re not “social distancing”.

      2. And I think CDC just announced that schools could cut it back to 3. They are making it up as they go along. They are also making a mess. Doug Ford and Christine Elliot are huge disappointments.

        1. Really? I could tell from way out here, these two were just as goofy as the lot they replaced, when they got elected. People just wanted to get rid of the commie witch, before them, held their noses and voted. THE SAME CROP OF SNIVEL SERPENTS are still pulling these twofer’s strings as the commie witch’s. Kan-eh-duh, eh.
          On the same note, I’m not sure who Kenny is working for out here, and most folks might agree with me today. Cull the Snivel Serpents and a goodly chunk of our problems should go away . Start with “teachers”, move onto “unions” in general with their TFW’s.

          1. Or, as one of my senior undergrad year profs was fond of saying, “Close enough for government work.”

          2. I fully expected the most woke among us to insist our social distancing be measured via the metric system … because everything ‘Europe’ is so kewl!
