Well we have an economy built on funneling money and power to the wealthy. Historically that usually ends in a bang.

don't worry about the super wealthy.  the nazis are good at running off with the money and setting up shop in their previous enemy's countries

yeah this entire event has made it very clear that next time there's a credible threat from a virus/bacteria, it will take direct federal intervention, most likely the army, to enforce any kind of meaningful quarantine. 

We could use the entire military, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and National Guard, and it still wouldn't be enough to enforce a nationwide quarantine.  Maybe in the 50 largest cities, but that is about it.

So optimistic, sad truth is the vaccines in trial may not actually work.  40 years of aids and still no vaccine.  truth is, this may be with us to stay and worse yet, if the fact the antibodies wear off and you can get sick a second time is true, this may be part of our lives for a LOOOOOOONG time.

This is categorically false and proven by South Korea. Also, the antibodies producing IgG which is a significer that the immune system is creating memory cells in the immune system is strong. It is NORMAL for the body to stop producing antibodies after three months and the fact the body is doing that with Covid is something the medical community is HAPPY to find out.

I watched a live pro soccer game today. If Europe can do it now, we can do it in a couple months.

I still can’t believe so many people are afraid of this hyped up viral scamdemic we have going on. It is clearly being used to usher in new systems and new ways of doing things that are easier to control for the powers that be. A vaccine will be another tool in the control kit. The sheeple will be lining up clamoring for it. We will have football in some way, shape, or form.

I have always been intrigued by the whole house of cards, inflation, value of the dollar, economy, "money printer go brrrr", etc. world that we've built for ourselves.

Look, what I'm about to say won't ever happen and I know it can't. But it can't be more true. All of those things I listed DO NOT EXIST. We invented them. Why can't we just print money and hand it out? Well, the answer to that ... we invented. Some dude came up with it, people accepted it, and here we all are. There is no actual reason we can't do it. Imagine some alternate universe where everyone was just given 1 million dollars, lol. Who is going to stop us from doing it? No one. All of those "issues" that it would cause? Yeah, made up. By ... us. We can't just print money because of A, B, and C. True. But A, B, and C are just constructs. Very interesting!

If we could figure out a way to still have a reason for people to go to work and keep things up and running as a society, wouldn't it be great if everyone had money? Remind me again why people don't have money? Right, because we invented a system that allows for that. And it's pretty much how we all live, save the nut that lives in the wood an eats badgers for dinner.

Who would say "STOP!"? I mean, if you believe in god, do you think he'd stop us? Nah. Would Darwin allow for it? Sure! If every country did what we'd do as well, they'd have no reason to stop us. All of those rules, and laws, and disasters printing money would cause? Yeah, just make it so it won't do that. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! Why do we live in such a messed up world?

Look, I'm just having fun but I've always enjoyed that little make believe world. Again, if you can write laws that tell us what money does ... you can write laws that will tell you what it will do tomorrow and no one can stop you. It's so crazy. People are dirt poor, others have crazy debt, health insurance is insane, etc. Yeah ... but all of that is made up!

So if a vaccine becomes available and the side effects could possibly lead to death, should the masses be required to take it? There is an inherent risk with taking a rushed vaccine and I see the common man rushing to be Guinea pigs for the wealthy.

Is it even worth it at this point? The current Covid required protocols are impossible to maintain, I keep reading all these proposals to restart MLB and NBA and my god, they are so ridiculous it’s like why even bother? A vaccine is right around the corner, at worst we will have a vaccine by Valentine’s Day 2021 (which honestly isn’t long at all) and now there are even talks of a vaccine possibly by November. Just wait it out. Forget all this non sense and rules and restrictions. I don’t want to watch the NFL be weakened and a shell of its former self. I want it with the bright lights, the raucous fans in attendance, I don’t want distracted players. 
 

‘What happens if half of a NFL team gets Covid? How do you even work around something like that Then I hear these ridiculous NBA proposals about playing in a bubble in Disney land, just hang it all up. Shut down all pro sports until the vaccine hits in several months, it will be here before you know it

Vaccines that provide 40% immunity (barely over 1/3) is a reason to shut the country down? Fauci already admitted he lied about the masks, don't give a damn what he has to say on vaccine progress.

What are you seeing in the numbers or the atmosphere that would lead you to say that?

You should probably listen to the smart people. I have no confidence you will though. Thats why this country has little hope.

I have to disagree about the value of the dollar. High percentages of bills in the US have traces of cocaine on them and cocoaine has actual value. Therefore, if you get enough cash, you will have something of value.

Doubt the value of the trace amounts exceeds the cost of extracting them off of the bills and assembling them into useful quantities with impurities removed.
