I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Not sure everyone will be infected but the original argument was to allow for the health care system to manage the load. That should continue to be the concern, opening up as much as possible.
Everything we do has unintended consequences. Considering that fact should be a part of everything we do. It's why I advocate liberal democracy and a mix of socialism and capitalism. No dogma.

@design_RG ITs abomidable to call out an actual sexual abuser because it shows support for someone who joked about sexual abuse once behind closed doors?
My support is for third party but if the choice is between biden and Trump I will 100% take trump over biden anyday. Bidens sexual abuse is unacceptable
Plus as I said he is a friend of the family, biden has spent the night at my dad's and mom's ranch. I know him well enough to know he is many ordersof magnitude worse than trump (whose family has also been at the ranch)

And uet trump has never once been recorded touching a woman i appropriately. Biden on the other hand does it every time a camera is pointed at him... Trump doesnt hold a candle to biden when it comes to sexual misconduct, not even close.

The “lock it all down” crowd still hasn’t explained away the apocalyptic effects on our national health from mass unemployment, business bankruptcies, hospital bankruptcies, a strained food supply, and the psychological trauma of mass poverty. https://twitter.com/ap/status/1258736597480230912 … https://www.twitter.com/DBongino/status/1258740089494085632

If you doubt the power of the press, recognize that Gov. Ron DeSantis handled covid-19 in Florida in excellent fashion, while Gov. Andrew Cuomo handled it nearly as badly as humanly possible, yet DeSantis has dropped in polls and Cuomo is at the height of popularity. https://www.twitter.com/michaeljknowles/status/1258599146522464256

To be fair, in 2016 my line was that Republicans would have voted for Karl Marx (or Hillary) if they'd been running with an R after their name.

@SecondJon Those Judges really take contempt of their authority quite seriously.
She got the fine and the jail time (a heavy punishment) mainly for refusing to back down and apologizing to His Honour, the presiding judge, whose cease and desist order she had violated.

By the logic many people are applying to coronavirus and lockdowns, we should reduce the national speed limit to 30mph, ban alcohol & cigarettes, and shutter up every flu season.
We cannot eliminate all risk from the environment. Especially when it creates other huge problems... https://www.twitter.com/zubymusic/status/1257986454678011904

“... This is the case with Covid-19, where a broad array of scientific facts overwhelmingly shows that anxiety from reactions to the disease will destroy at least seven times more years of life than can possibly be saved by lockdowns. Moreover, the total loss of life from all societal responses to this disease is likely to be more than 90 times greater than prevented by the lockdowns.“

Meticulous research shows that anxiety from reactions to Covid-19—such as stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns, media exaggerations, and legitimate concerns about the virus—will extinguish at least 7 times more years of life than can possibly be saved by lockdowns.
