Topic:
Critique and feedback
|
|
I mostly agree that we should learn from both the positive and the negative but especially the negative. The hardest thing for a person to do is actually understand what the criticism means, accept the positive parts of it and learn from them. The anger and bully type actions accomplish nothing but honest criticism can do wonders.

There is talk of travel restrictions between states in the US or countries in the EU. It would seem reasonable that there should be restrictions and people should be forced to quarantine for 14 days after entry from a high incidence location. In some parts of the US there is a very low incidence of the virus while in others it is totally out of control. Those of us in areas with few cases would like to continue it that way and it is impossible with uncontrolled migration. We keep practicing good mitigation/prevention techniques and somebody with the virus comes in and restarts the virus spread. Either we have to control the migration or issue stay at home orders for the entire country with legal enforcement!!

Over the years, the US as been a puritanical country with outlandish moral expectations. These expectations still remain in some parts of the country although some are becoming less strict. If there were no social repercussions, I think most men would prefer legal and regulated prostitution be available. I also believe that many men have had a belief that marriage entitles them to a regular supply of sex. The male/female dynamic as it relates to sex is changing and will continue to change in the future. In many ways sex has become more open and casual.

HONESTY

Telling lies is not gender specific, both do it. I can't think of any subject about ones self that is not lied about by someone. As to why, people believe that a perspective partner will eventually accept their flaws when they get to know them better and see their good points. When you tell the truth, many will simply ignore you because they see something about you they do not care for and it becomes a deal breaker right up front. Often times it is based on their assumptions about you not the reality.

Coronavirus

Just read an article on Australia and the coronavirus. It had to do with the season of the year along with UV radiation (sunshine!). The article looked at where the major outbreaks in the world are and their spread. They think it may behave like the other viruses like the flu and the common cold which have seasonal peaks. If this is correct, the covid-19 will decrease in the northern hemisphere in the near time and then start to increase in the southern hemisphere. I guess time will tell us more about that in the next couple months.

It very much depends on how the disability would affect your chosen lifestyle. Another point, today there are very good ways to compensate for a disability. For instance a runner with only 1 real leg. It is a matter of if the disabled person allows their disability to destroy their life or finds ways to overcome it.

There are 2 major problems with the corona virus mitigation effort: the high population density in some parts of the country and the failure of some of the population to understand and follow the recommendations of public health officials. I guess some governors are just going to have to beat their people with a big stick until they listen!!!

What is his experience besides being a politician? He seems to have no understanding of the country outside of major urban areas. I do wish the democrats would actually start looking for worthwhile candidates in the future.

I think there was an informal agreement in the Senate late last night and the formal vote will be today. If it gets passed by unanimous consent, then it will move to the House immediately,if not, then it may take several days before it can move to the House. Then we will see what happens, I doubt it will go smoothly! With lots of luck it will get to the President's desk by the end of next week hopefully not needing to go back to the Senate first.

Applying to your news source: Overall, we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favors the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks LEFT BIAS These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. I think it is more a matter of educated listening. There is dire need for people to be educated in comprehension and determining facts and data from opinions. Decades ago, the culture changes made it so that 'just the facts' approach did not bring in the views and ratings that sensational news did, and we started seeing reporters and news shows add in more casual talk and opinions. When you allow the human element in, or allow reporters to also comment and describe things, you invite bias regardless of the side. If our education kicked out more people with the logic to tell what is fact from what is opinion, 'bias' would not be an issue. And Fox does not do that? They have NO bias???? Oooookay....  I'm sure I can find the same info on numerous other sites...which ones meet with your approval? Give 3 or more. Thank you. C-Span (www.c-span.org) Center for Responsive Politics (www.opensecrets.org) Congress.gov (www.congress.gov) Cook Political Reports (cookpolitical.com) Covid Tracking Project (covidtracking.com) Des Moines Register (www.desmoinesregister.com) Harvard Gazette (news.harvard.edu) Kaiser Family Foundation (kff.org) Reuters (www.reuters.com) You might have heard of a couple of these. How many hundreds would you like? |

unemployment being low means very little when wages are so low and healthcare isn't provided. congratulations, you've got a **** ton of people who can't pay rent. probably working two 39.5 hour jobs so that they can afford the bare minimum health insurance that one job won't provide 'cause their boss won't let 'em have 40 hours. the stock market being high means absolutely nothing. do you even own capital? tell me about your factory. tell me about your restaurant. do you even own your house? are you still making car payments? why would you support capitalism in any form? pretty much the only socialist programs we have these days are corporate bailouts but I will tell you straight up, don't argue with old white people. most of them drank the Kool-Aid loooong ago, especially the men. their brains simply don't accept new information. they were alive at a time when you could work a minimum wage job and still pay for university, a car, and your own place. try doing that now, especially in a city where gentrification quadrupled rent prices and drove out the natives. Today's market is not that of 50 years ago. Then, we had more than 100 million less people in the USA. Then, you could get decent jobs without college, and more of the market was trade competitive, than tech competitive, and the level of 'outsourcing' was nowhere near as high . |

Trump is still a better president, than the four idiots who held the job before him. the only way one can believe this is if you are someone who has little to no idea how to verify legitimate sources, and believes a mass coordinated disinformation campaign, yet has so much pride they refuse to believe they could have possibly been fooled by propaganda probably the only good president we've ever had was Jimmy Carter, and he was just good, not great |

Unemployment statistical percentages are misleading. When you have a 10% rate, many of those unemployed are recently unemployed and have skills employers need. Then it is just necessary to see a little improvement in demand before hiring will occur. When you get down to the bottom of the unemployed barrel, there has to be a very high demand for that new employee and the training necessary to make them productive. It is as simple as looking at someone with 5 years of applicable experience vs someone with no experience.
As for measurement of the economy it very much depends on what measures you use to make a judgement of improvement. There will always be some more positive or negative than others. It matters very much on what you personally define as the "economy". |
