More than a year after the coronavirus arrived in the United States, American are “starting to understand the importance of balance again,” Mike Rowe told “The Story” Friday.
Fox News’ Michael Quinlan reports on the ‘Dirty Jobs’ host’s reality check for all Americans:
“Several months ago, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said no measure, no matter how draconian, could be deemed unwise if it saves but a single life,” the “Six Degrees with Mike Rowe” host told Martha MacCallum.
“I got a lot of flak when he said that, because I said, ‘That is a safety-first way of thinking’, and deep down we’re not a safety-first society.”
“Now we’re starting to see the price of safety is devastating,” Rowe added.
“What is happening right now in the energy industry is really the thing that I think we ought to be focused on, because there feels to me, and feels to a lot of people I talk to on a day-to-day basis, like a concerted effort to wage a kind of war against energy. It’s not a war we can win, especially with regard to fossil fuels and all of the jobs that are wrapped up in that industry. I don’t mean to sound like an apologist, but I know of no greater investor in alternative energy than the fossil fuel industry.”
MacCallum brought the discussion back to the issue of safety, saying, “We’re a country that was built on risk-taking. We want to take wise risks, we don’t want to be reckless, but that element of being strong and fighting through is something that I think is such an American value.
“Risk is the only four-letter word that matters,” Rowe agreed.
“It impacts and informs every decision we make, from driving a car to walking around without a mask or wearing one mask or two masks.”
“We’re starting to see,” Rowe concluded, “if you elevate the business of staying alive to the very, very top of all things, then the only thing you’ll ever do is stay alive. You won’t go anywhere. You won’t try anything or build anything.”

That has got to be the point of all this.
At my age, I have a greater than 99% chance of survival, IF I contract the disease. I am willing to risk it to continue enjoying my life. I have a better than average immune system and I thank the good Lord for letting me play in creeks, swallowing a lot of water, eating grass, playing in the mud and ingesting some along the way, swallowing bugs while riding my bike and eating fruits and vegetables straight off the plant without washing them. All of these things helped me build up an immunity to survive in the environment I was in.
I am at the high end of the so called risk factor and it is all bullshit to me. If it only saves one life is the usual insane bleat, yet 153,400 people die everyday from all causes world wide. How about applying the if it only saves one life bleat to the people who are dying from the “vaccine”. Is it ok if 10 die, a hundred, a thousand , how many must die from a vaccine that isn’t a vaccine before people open their eyes and their minds?
Especially Mammon.
“no measure, no matter how draconian, could be deemed unwise if it saves but a single life,”
Funny how this doesn’t apply to other things like removing criminal illegals from the country.
We should shut down I75 …. if it saves just one life … can you see where this is going ..
“Rowe wanted to do “Six Degrees” but didn’t have a network or streaming service attached to it, so he sought sponsors. He found two: the American Petroleum Institute and Distribution Contractors Association, which is part of the natural gas industry. He is transparent about his financial support.”

There are no alternatives to fossil fuel energy that will keep 8 billion people alive on planet earth.
Bingo! Chip
So this is the culling? Blame it on the climate problems caused by fossil fuels.
I posted this elsewhere for you Glock. Don’t know if you have seen it.
Yes, thank you, I did see that. I will spread this around. They made it look pretty darn easy. I think it must have been an opportunity crime? Any way, real estate photographers do carry lots of equipment. Not all of them carry expensive equipment. Some of my members (I run a website dedicated to connecting Realtors, brokers, editors (overseas) and photographers) carry 10’s of thousands of $$ worth of equipment. Not only do they photograph houses but they also create videos, 3D tours, floor plans and offer drone video/photography. Equipment can be a fairly big expense. Especially when considering you are carrying around this stuff around with you in a car.
