WELL, We did have a system like that. It was called pre-feminism life. Men worked, and woman were home doing the MORE IMPORTANT JOB. Sometimes, old timey stuff got it right. Modernity is not always what it's cracked up to be.

If money were everything? Would City have won 4 in a row? No.

That is very funny. And also a sign of the weakness of text.

COLD PLUNGE TIME! 🧊🥶🧊🥶

The left is can have some serious purity pissing contests about who is leftier. Goes way back to anarchist, trade unions, bolsheviks and mensheviks, Stalinist and Trotskyist. Never ends. Purges never end.

Thanks for the response. I honestly didn't think about gender at all. Didn't cross my mind for one second. Also? I was grateful she was responding. I wasn't trying to teach anyone anything! If anything? I was just talking trying to convey the anecdotal experiences I've had.
Anyway, thanks 🙏

Oh, it's fine, attack was the wrong word. You mentioned not being blunt. What I was driving at is that you can be blunt if you want to. And it's ok. I want to chat and I am not angry or upset or anything like that. Been enjoying this. Thanks!

No, of course not. I am sure she knows. Anecdotal madness of the people. Thanks for the comment.

You can attack me. It's ok. People are angry. But there are good people, who are legitimately shaken. They aren't bad, they aren't dumb, and they are afraid. Their faith in institutions is broken. (I am 3x COVID-vax'd but concerned.)

These are good conversations. Thank you!

Thanks! I hear you. Its no longer about science. It's like the OJ trial. OJ was guilty, but the police lied. So anything they said was invalid.
ie. The vax is real and working, but Fauci lied. So everything he said is invalid. (and by extension, the CDC)
Doesn't make sense, but that's the story.

Agreed. And I think the less we think about this as a science thing and more as a story people have told themselves. The better. It's not rational, and to convince people we need better stories.

Thanks for this too. It's not about reality. It's about a story. It's about our AMERICAN story. We don't take likely to being told what to do. We've eroded institutions to a level such that there is always a % who will think it's a lie. And nothing rational people can do. Fascinating really.

I hear you. It's not rational how people are behaving. They have a story and narrative. Way more powerful than any graph. This is great information! Thanks.

(or do I have it backward? Oh Math)

Erin, it is the culmination of the individualistic nature of Americans. WHAT ABOUT ME! WHAT ABOUT MY FAMILY! I DON'T WANT THE RISK. It's always about the denominator and NEVER the numerator. ie. 1,000,000,000 get a vax, they are fine. 1 kid in Iowa dies "ONE KID DIED!! WHAT ABOUT MY BABY!!!"

Agreed. WAY more. Used to just be Earth-mother, holistic moms in Encinitas, and people who followed Jenny McCarthy
