I think they want us to go back 2 or 3 days a week but at like 50% of people in at any time, but no indication of when that might be and its probably optional

i did have to go in to clear some stuff up and went to a different floor to talk to someone I hadn't seen in ages and she said she was "coming in 2 days a week just to have an adult conversation", husbands don't count.

You cant go on expensive vacations or whatever else signals that you are a successful consumer right now, so you have to go buy a new car instead.

The whole goal of americans is to make money so they can buy useless poo poo they don't need, and coronavirus is limiting some types of useless poo poo so the money has to go into the types that are still available.

this one gets me.

we could even call going on a pointless ride in the car “going on vacation.”

i could do that now but a busted up old malibu just isnt fun to be in.

a friend of mine got kicked in the head by a horse and wont be enjoying anything from the bed hes going to be in for the rest of his life. he had a lot of stuff on his bucket list thats not going to happen now.

i am able to buy a fun car without endangering my ability to pay rent. life is also uncertain.

youre right. its absolutely stupid and a waste of money.

Cars aren't fun. They're a liability that moves you from point A to point B. They are no more fun than any other tool.

Lots of people died and eventually enough of the remaining people had already had it for herd immunity to protect those who hadn't.

It's tempting to assume that's the worst case now, but the problem is that immunity to coronaviruses doesn't usually last that long, so it might just circulate forever.

which could happen for sars-2-cov as well unless the vaccines end up being super effective

have you ever driven a corvette at dusk in the summer with the top off?

yes to the rest of that statement though. its a stupid plan all the way through. cars are the physical embodiment of everything wrong with america.
