Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[Alan Klein]

Once the damage is done, it's hard to undo. Trump's continuous making fun of wearing masks and his rally's with no social distancing lead many people to think that is the way life should be during the pandemic. This has been ingrained into many minds over the past 8 months or so...very hard to change those minds.

The why are Europeans having trouble? Are they listening to Trump too?

[Robert Roaldi]

Trump got out at the right time. 

Truly he's a strategic thinker !

Now, what would have been your analysis if he had won?

But you still need fossil fuel plants to back up wind generation when the wind isn't blowing.

Alan - in the UK the wind is always blowing.......

Europe has its own idiots. Why is Asia doing so well?

[LesPalenik]

What about Europe?

Europeans are generally less prudish than Americans. They have quite a few nude beaches and even on beaches where a swimsuit is required, men wear speedos or just short swim pants. The American style 2 ft-length pants are reserved generally for the winter months.

Thanks...

What a weird story.  He still stands my his initial claim.  The Post Office grilled him for three hours and got him to change his story.  Then he says no, I'm sticking with the original. 

Seems to me like the old movies where the cops twist the perp until he's a broken mess and then he  signs whatever they put in front of him. 

Mistake number one.  Never talk to anyone in a situation like this without your attorney present.

This guys seems to be a regular joe.  I can't beleive he did this thinking it was going to be be a huge score financially.

[Alan Klein]

Yes I recall Alan predicting shootings in the streets as people get desperate because their families are starving. I wonder how life is when you always see the negative of things.

Check my flickr photos and Youtube videos.  I think they're very positive.  I don't recall saying people were going to shoot other people.  But things will get testy if people start starving.  You're the negative person.  You want to control everyone thinking people can't take care of themselves.  You want everyone and everything locked down.  Why are you so afraid of living?

[Alan Klein]

Truly he's a strategic thinker !

Now, what would have been your analysis if he had won?

Same thing.  We're in a bubble.  Trump would continue printing as he has.  But Biden's going to print more with the push coming from his left.  Hopefully, the Senate stays Republican so we have a divided government slowing down stupid and wasteful legislation.  Otherwise there won't be enough cheese left for a mouse to get a tooth in.

The economy and stock markets are going to crash under his watch.  The republicans will take back Congress in 2022 because of it.

More facts Alan?

Analysis? Assumption without facts is more like it.

Europe has its own idiots. Why is Asia doing so well?

Everyone has the same problem.  Governors in the USA are faced with the same problem.  How do you split the baby without killing it?  Everyone is trying to walk a fine line between reducing cases and death and keeping their economy going so people don't lose their jobs and starve.  It's an impossible task.  Hopefully the vaccine will help.  Masks and all that other stuff are just temporary stop gap measures that slow down but don't stop the problem.  It's going to spread through the community - fast or slow. 

[Alan Klein]

I don't know why Asia is doing better.

People do all sorts of funny things. Rationality often doesn't play a part.

I am curious how he got hooked up with Project Veritas to begin with. First, the affidavit, and then agreeing to wear a wire. Doesn't really sound like a regular Joe to me, but then I'm no expert on what constitutes a regular Joe.

We're in a bubble. 

Once again the fact-free assumptions when speaking for others and worse, everone.
I accept you are in a bubble by your writings and admission.

[LesPalenik]

I don't know why Asia is doing better.

Could be due to the Asians consuming 70% more fiber than Americans. Another thing is that Asians traditionally eat at round tables, particularly family meals, as it's convenient to share dishes with others, especially with a lazy Suzy. Westerners eat at square tables, which is more convenient for individual meals, with long tables for bigger groups.

The recommended intake is between 20 and 38 grams of total fiber per day, depending on your age and gender. To be on the safe side, 25 grams being a realistic goal for most people. However, the average American consumes a low 14 grams of fiber a day – and many eat even less.

You are full of it Alan. Please show me where I said everything should be locked down. Like most things from your mouth...its just garbage.

As far as being afraid of living, prior to the pandemic, I traveled the world into places you couldn't even dream of. I plan to continue my exploration of this world once the pandemic is under control. What about you Alan, you going to return to eating pizza and ice cream when the pandemic is over.

Places like Thialand and Vietnam and even China seem to have it under control and their people are working, restaurants are open and economy is doing pretty good. They wear masks.

One hint...they wear masks and respect other people around them.

I speak for myself.  You're entitled to your opinions as well.  Interesting explanation of bubbles.  I'd say we're in stage 3 or 4 right now.

We is not you. I don’t know if you are purposely trying not to understand this, or if you are really struggling with it but your posting history and lack of facts provided highly suggests the later.

I'd say we're in stage 3 or 4 right now.

Proof of concept, facts from your own keyboard that no, you speak for others (again).
