LOCALISM
The higher you go the more incompetence/reckelessness (with small exceptions). If this virus ever teaches anything, it is localism.You
Your family
Your town
Your region/county/state
Federal Gov: CDC

Yep,
This shit storm we’re just now entering could set humanity back 600 to 700 years. Shits definitely going to go tribal.
That’s what neighborhoods used to be about, local vendors and shops. Family. Friends. And kids playing in the street.
I’m thinking some of them still are, especially in these very old rural communities where the family bonds are so strong we all just seem to keep bumping into each other.
But now many are calling the police if you accidentally bump into them. It is amazing how quickly things like 9-11 and this sham, quickly wipe away the veneer of “sanity” in so many.
Agreed.
Tons of people were outside today, walking and SOCIALIZING.
SOCIALIZING > SOCIALISTS
I have seen an enormous outpouring here and hope it continues. I wish I’d had just a bit more time to get the word out, but people just would not listen.
Would they?
I had to tell my drunkass cousins who liked spending Friday nights drinking beer on my porch and the rest of the weekend standing in the river that they could no longer come here. Sad, but true.
There is a time to act like a child and a time to man up.
What’s the problem with beer and fishing on the weekends?
For the trapped, lib-turd, “Blue-Belly” DemonRAT/BRAT “citYzens/coasters/urbies” locked-down BY THEIR OWN TYPE, I suspect the more appropriate similar pronunciation may soon to be . . . “loco”. Perhaps the PC crap and Trump-hating/bashing will take a back seat to more basic and immediate issues incumbent with . . . SURVIVAL. Even the Soros chump-change handed out to foment politically motivated social chaos/rig balloting won’t buy “necessities” in limited supply/no longer available. Such is the Blessing if scrounging/thieving leaves little time/energy for such “Soros activities”.
You should use more adjectives per sentence when commenting….
Beyond my wife, and a limited number of folks (many of whom post here and write for other great sites), the rest of the world is completely fucked in the head and generally beyond untrustworthy for anything (and that includes the rest of the family).
Present company excepted … this virus will have taught nothing.
It will take us to try and expose the lessons to be learned….not that I am hopeful….but it is still up to us to help these idiots out. Remember, thanks to 12+ years of incarceration and brainwashing, independent thought, coming to sound conclusions, looking at facts and arriving at logical outcomes, etc. are abilities most no longer have.
My county voted for Trump and has no CV-19 cases to date. Hussein the Usurper spent $150,000 to turn the local swimming hole into a Federal Park that protects alligators but now bans man’s best friend. Today it has a new neon sign saying “Closed” and a cop car with red & blue lights blinking. I went to TSC to get supplies (I know I’m old) but when I went to load a salt block, a young man said let me get that. When I went to load some bags of cow manure, a man said I’ll do that. I asked how old he was and he said 60. Country folks are just a tad better, ya hear.
Rob what are you 95? ??
I want to put this out there as a mandate for all tbp’ers. When we are out of lockdown do not spend a nickel with big national chains. Only buy local from neighbors that own small businesses! Teach the criminals that be they did not succeed in consolidating power to their fascist oligarch campaign contributors that are all getting billions of bail out money from us. My family will not be buying from amazon, walmart, etc.
