KD in CA Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 3 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: I've often said I would pay up for new Disney animated movie releases I can watch at home, instead of going into theaters. If you have kids + parent, $20 ($30, heck $40 can be) is much cheaper than going to a theater. There are some movies that are just better seen on a huge screen, however.@Deranged Rhino what are you hearing from your buddies in Tinseltown? You had mentioned theaters were in trouble before the shutdown, think they come back? And who needs who more right now? Universal or AMC? Yup. With 3 kids and making my own popcorn, it was about 1/2 price. And the couch was much more comfortable for dozing off than a movie theatre seat.

Yet, this funeral still went on with NYPD's and community affairs blessing and zero arrests, fines or tickets issued. You'd figure that if people behaved in a way that NYPD wasn't prepared for, there would be consequences. Sounds like NYPD was prepared for what happened. But everyone is missing the most important factor in this. It certainly looks like the Hassids have developed herd immunity already. It's showing more like Seattle than the rest of NYC so far. One would figure that a close knit insular community that still lives under 19th century rules would be dropping like flies, like it was early on. But in the last 2-3 weeks, the infection rates have declined. The data is consistent in Boro Park, Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Orange and Rockland Counties and Ocean County NJ, where you should have seen ongoing spikes in infections and deaths. But it's not happening. It is not my theory. It was a direct quote from a community leader who said that the event was coordinated with NYPD and community affairs. Lazy & intellectually dishonest. And yet you failed to state that point earlier. Unfortunately I have no choice but to take this step following this exchange. You're on the hoax list.

Pointless to even try, so congratulations on your allegiance to the Democratic Party. What's the drivel? Trump said something profoundly stupid, then tried to pass it off as sarcasm, and then canceled a briefing (almost certainly on the advice of his aides and other members of the Republican Party who rightly recognized the damaging nature of the misstep) before holding the briefing in a different location where he controlled seating assignments and the prominence of positions given to reporters. To my understanding, that control allowed Trump to relegate CNN to the back of the seating area. 1 minute ago, GG said: I thought you stopped paying attention? 1 minute ago, GG said: I thought you stopped paying attention?

Nothing is going to happen to China and we all know it. China OWNS the US.

His own intelligence reports knew about this issue in November and Trump failed to act.

The Chinese should be held responsible but we both know that will never happen so there is no point of spending any more time thinking about it. Maybe you're right about that. But let's not pass the buck here. There's a principle in the law that there can be more than one proximate cause of an accident or event. Even assuming (probably very safely), for the sake of argument, the the Chinese government bears responsibility for part of this mess, I struggle to see how it's unfair to say that the ineptitude of our own federal administration has not also contributed to the current predicament. Bottom line: fault here isn't an either or proposition. Surely the Chinese government bears responsibility for what has happened. But the fact that one government or one actor bears responsibility doesn't mean that another actor cannot also be culpable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
