The responses to Cuomo stating the NY economy needed to reopen were eye opening. These seemed to be the bulk...
“Nooooo! What are you crazy!?” “Nooooo! Just pay everyone to stay home and businesses to stay closed until it goes away!” “Nooooo! Just tax the billionaires dry and hand it out until everyone is vaccinated!” |

It’s a new found empowerment for many. People like Cuomo also used it to balance their state Medicaid budgets.

I work from home, and we do conference calls over Skype and Zoom all the time. I can't tell you how many people start the calls by chatting about COVID, and lockdowns, and being careful, and don't venture out, and we need to stay locked down for safety, and all that B.S. It's like they are comparing dick sizes, but with COVID-awareness tips. I just stay quiet, cause I just want the call to end as fast as possible.

Many of them (schoolteachers for example) are just lazy fucks who never want to go back to working like normal. Others are sincerely terrified it’s going to kill everyone and turn your organs into liquid shit.

I think it has more to do with they don't want to believe their government would ever host a hoax and lie to them in order to pull off a successful coup and push us further into the throes of socialism.

Its how they can feel important, like they're doing something.
Our nation doesn't really have any deadly challenges anymore, so when someone can claim to have suffered in order to avoid death, or to keep others safe, they want to be that hero. Witness all the nursing circle jerking. They have the best PPE, training, testing, etc. and they demand hero status over the WalMart worker who stands in one place for 10 hours checking out 5k customers with just a Daisy Duck mask and a bottle of Purell. People want attention, they want to be heroes. Now they get to be, and they don't have to work very hard for it, and they're reluctant to give that up. |

Can't believe how many "conservatives" I've seen reveling in their free check and upset that it was 600 instead of more. |

I'm a ton more of the mind that there are a ton of paranoid delusional people in this country. AOC is a good example. If she's not actually paranoid delusional, she's fueling it. I saw bits of her video she put out and holy shit she is either batshit insane, or is trying to push insane theories.

It's an excuse to be a failure. Not my fault, its covid! If covid goes away some people will have to adult again. Why do that when you can sit inside in your jammies all day and post on social media how bad Trump is and how you cant wait to see everybody again, really, any year now.

OP is not wrong. It's one reason people sit in front of cable new clutching their pearls.
If there's nothing real they make stuff up in their mind to be afraid of, and they actually seek out fear. Even fake fear, it doesn't matter. To make matters worse, they drag the children into it. We are raising an entire generation of neurotic bed wetters. |

They've never expericenced actual hardship so they're inventing it to feel important. Its fucking disgusting. The part that pisses me off the most is rice rabies has ushered in a complete reversal of the concept, innocent until proven guilty. You are guilty of being sick and diseased until proven healthy. |

There are a few like that at my company. Ive been WFH since April. I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind 1 more summer WFH. Last summer was the best summer of my working adult life. The doom and gloom bunch, keep telling everyone to be safe for at least 8 more months ??

It's more of the same. Most people don't actually want freedom, hell they wouldn't even know what to do with it. They want safety. More specifically they want someone else to be responsible for their safety. And with that they'll go along with whatever they're told.
