Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong...a thousand times wrong.
That is not true. From my earlier post:
Keeps the rules and regulations department staff employed making up all those rules.
I agree with this. People need to take responsibility for their own actions. Unfortunately when the Governor is on TV railing on about how he is against all mandates and doesn’t think the government should impose any rules that impact businesses it’s a terrible message. People need to rise above that, but the government exists to aid and serve the people, not hinder them. It’s also not always clear what precautions should be taken. Again, when the Governor is saying no restrictions its not helping people figure out what precautions they should take. It would be like removing all speed limit signs and saying people should just know better than to drive 150 MPH down a highway (which they should), but the government won’t mandate a speed limit so how fast should they go? What’s a reasonable speed for that road? Leaving it up to personal interpretation is going to result in a very inconsistent result.
but that's neither here nor there). So seeing a leader flout being concerned and trying will obviously influence some. In that case, it comes down to the old adage...."well, if [insert famous person here] jumped off a bridge...." ya know? We don't necessarily want everything up to personal preference, but at some point we do become responsible for our own actions.
To be honest...I took any opening to get the shot of common sense in...I’m sure your point is ingenious
But seriously...ya think the people will make the individual choice to save themselves? We’re talking about Florida...where syphillus is doing raging business in the Villages
I don’t disagree, but we all have different ideas of which precautions are necessary and which aren’t. For example if you and I think masks are an effective part of the solution and so we wear them that’s progress, but someone else feels they aren’t necessary then they don’t. The role of the government is to set those regulations based on the situation on the ground and the best scientific advice they have, just like the speed limit is set based on road conditions. A wide highway that‘s relatively straight can have a higher speed limit than a narrower one with lots of curves.I agree that people look up to politicians to set an example (which I think is the very definition of "insanity
I hope you and your family are doing well
Thank you! I wish you and yours the same. We are avoiding it so far but it has directly affected lots of folks we know and care about.
Cause... my freedoms! I need my dole whips!
You lost me at dole whip...all logic and sense of responsibility is out the window when attempting to obtain that tasty frozen treat
