You came up with 4 and didn’t even delve into the “ like the flu”.

You are misquoting me. I said people WANT to be afraid. And I would never, under any circumstances, say "y'all".

Tell that to your Graceland...who is still shuttering half their hotels and running at 30% capacity.
The thing few ever stopped to consider was this: they shut down the money machine. Do you know what it takes for the power brokers to put any money instruments on ice?
Somebody was very afraid...It had nothing to do with me.
Hoaxers...just not as loud now.

You guys seem to be attributing to me things you've seen on Twitter, I guess?
I'm not saying COVID is fake. I'm not saying COVID isn't dangerous. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy. I'm not saying my preferred course of action would have led to fewer deaths.
I'm saying *I don't care* how serious it is, because nothing justifies what they've done to people's liberty and autonomy for the past year. I don't care if it would have lead to 10 million deaths. So be it.

What are “they” doing right now to our liberty? You dislike masks that much?

Before I could drink 10 beers and jump behind the wheel of a car, no big government telling me what to do, and then all this COVID stuff happened and I can't do that anymore..
What's that? There have always been measures taken to protect the public from reckless personal decision making? It wasn't just COVID? Huh...

Yeah...but you self promote yourself as a “money guy”....so why should I be concerned with your health policy or logistics analysis in retrospect?
I could run parts of Disney’s operation much better - especially in the intermediate and longterm - than they can. But it’s not my job and they could care less.
Same thing.
Saying only nursing homes matter is devoid of the realities of what happened. It was all about spread and finding the “weak” points with that spread. Nursing homes are just the surface.
The right to money grub is not specifically outlined in any government document, by the way.

You know it was literally *illegal to go to church* in many parts of the country for the better part of a year, right?

Yeah, there's nothing I enjoy more than not being able to visit my mother indoors for any extended amount of time because she's over 75 or worrying about any of the several family members who have no choice but to go to work every day and deal with the public. I've been waiting for years for someone to cancel concerts I had tickets to so I wouldn't have to attend them and listen to live music performed by artists I really like. Finally, everything's coming up Chipperson!
For short term.
Long term it is throwing dust into the wind.
the first rule of forecasting is that forecasting is always wrong. The second rule of forecasting is the longer out you go, the less accurate it is.

I think it was "illegal to gather in large groups"......
Churches were not exempt.
But I believe you could still zoom....
Or hold smaller groups to practice your religion.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

About the only thing I've enjoyed in the past 12 months more than usual were the shorter lift lines at the local ski resorts.

I get it, you're not religious.
Either way, "illegal to gather in large groups" is just as bad, even if church had nothing to do with it. Free association and freedom of exercise are BOTH bedrock enumerated rights.

What does that have to do with anything?
Where am I wrong?
Where two or three gather in my name.......
Was that in the law? Are we going full persecution here? If so, let me get my lunch first.
ETA: I see your edit. You couldn't worship? They took your Bible?! Took your zoom invite?! Made you renounce?! This is news. Please, tell us more...

And yet it wasn't illegal to worship. The church my mother attends (and helped run for several years) set up streaming sessions with dial-in options for those members without internet access/abilities and then set up outdoor services when the weather was nice. When it got cold again, they switched back to video services. At no point did any of the restrictions that prevented them from having indoor services ever prevent them from holding services at all. The adapted for the greater good and didn't pretend they were victims. Nobody ever claimed that dealing with a pandemic would be easy, but for some reason there are plenty of people who think only others should be impacted by it.
You said you don't care if having no restrictions meant that 10 million people died. Well guess what? The impact on the economy that the lockdowns and restrictions have had would pale in comparison to the disaster that would have unfolded in your scenario.
