Meanwhile, as noted in another thread, the small businesses which crop up around college campuses (coffee shops, bars, restaurants, book stores, etc.) are about to get fucked by less students around.

Education has been in a bubble for awhile. All the cheap federal loans and aid has allowed what should be institutions of learning to be basically retirement homes for young people.

I ve watched one "sleepy college" town get gentrified and its nuts.

You don't understand how Colleges work these days do you?

Instead of looking at the value of what they provide and setting a fair price based on that value...They hike up the tuition by 30% so that The Dean can donate 15% of it to Joe Biden's campaign and pocket the rest.

Unfortunately having that Ivy League degree on your resume opens so many doors that the actual education itself is just a nice to have and real value lies in a piece of paper. The reason these schools don't need to lower tuition is because they know these students studied their butts of in high school and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for them. Plus what is the alternative? The opportunity cost is too high especially if you take a gap year. Finding a job right now to fill that year isn't exactly a cake walk and for example Wharton is charging $8000 just for a deferment. Might as well get it over with and have the university title on your resume.

So now Fauci is saying we need to wear goggles, too. Well, why didn't ya tell us that earlier?

Well, eye protection is good if you are outside, you don't want to get dust or small rocks in your eyes, but I thought they figured out that SARS-CoV-2 had a really hard time getting in through your eyes?

Don't tell the SCIENCE! lovers on twatter and reddit, they'll all be clamoring for eye goggle mandates and then the karens will get in on it.

... and now we know why so many post-apocalyptic societies wear goggles and masks.

"Wear the goggles to protect other people!"

We're sneezing out of our eyes now? Well, I guess it's in theory possible, everything *is* connected up. Gross.

IMHO I don't see the issue with "gentrification".
I lived in the gentrification radius of LSU for awhile and it was much nicer than the non-gentrified parts.

Gentrification is just an excuse to be mad at a certain section of people who are moving in. They pick an arbitrary point in the last 100 years and say "There is where we should have pulled up the ladder."

 

[Local Fed]

Isn't bitching about gentrification usually just code for being mad that white people are moving into the area?

All simps should wear goggles. Don't want those simp tears flying around everywhere, simping is contagious

Well, my city called off its mask mandate and of course, twitter having a shitfit. Despite the fact that our deaths were a couple of pensioners who were on borrowed time regardless. Although details like that won't stop them from getting outraged.

Why isn’t that really big news. This fucking asshole just admitted that Covid probably will never go away. What’s the point of this bullshit then? We destroyed the economy and fucked up millions of people’s lives for what? A few months more for grandma to live in misery at a nursing home with no visitors or activities before the coof eventually gets her? This is some 1776 level shit here, fuck every single governor who locked down and continues to lockdown. Why has no one followed up on this and asked why the lockdowns or masks are necessary or asked Fauci why it was a better idea to not adopt Sweden’s model.

The only things that go away are if they are too deadly, and wipe themselves out, or if their hosts go extinct (at least in the area the pathogen is operating in), or pretty much everyone gets vaccinated, and it's very obvious when someone gets it, like with smallpox. I doubt any of those would happen in the case of SARS-CoV-2.

The common cold likely began as a coronavirus much like this. After thousands of years, it's just something we deal with. Sometimes it kills people, but usually it doesn't and we're fine. It was never going to "go away" even with vaccinations, so I'm not sure why they went with this "lockdown until normalcy" while knowing there wouldn't ever be a pre-covid normalcy (meaning life without it existing at all). It's such an obvious political and economic move to hurt people and the current government that it's enough to make your blood boil. Just look at how they've moved the lockdown goal posts. At first it was to keep hospitals clear and assess the damage while having more info, then it was to prevent hospital overflow, now it's...what? To prevent the possibility of people getting sick? What about all the other things lockdowns put you at risk for? Public health isn't a zero sum game—there are points when extended barricading of people in their homes actually causes more damage to themselves and society as a whole than just getting sick would.

I wouldn't mind releasing some of my rage inside of the wife of one of these so-called "experts", whether she likes it or not for fucking my life up and that of millions of others.
