The Real Millenium Bug

Yep!
The Stress Pandemic
Yep!
The Stress Pandemic
"My fear is that if we do not open the economy quickly, we will face a
threat not only to the economic and personal health of the entire
country but to the very existence of the greatest country in the
history of man, as we have known it, as our founders envisioned it.
Will historians be writing about how a virus destroyed the greatest
country in the history of man.â€

"We did not close the world economy in 1957 when the world endured the Asian Flu pandemic, which caused 1.1 million worldwide deaths, 160,000 in the United States. The current estimate of COVID-19 deaths in the United States is around 60,000. The population of the United States in 1957 was 177 million. Today, it is 320 million. Who even remembers the Asian Flu? That will not be the case with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.â€

At the time of the Asian Flu the United States was populated by adults.

Amen Bill! Where have all the adults gone?
Last year the wife and I went to see the show Cabaret at the Fox Theater. In this version there is a scene where they speak about Berlin "like a basement full of kids and the adults are all gone. They keep egging each-other on and hoping an adult shows up to say no". That's kind of like America these days. Most especially the Democrats.

Yeah, Tim, but these days the difference is the liberals ignore the adults who show up, or denigrate them the way they castigate Trump and Co.
BTW, Cabaret is a helluva show, isn't it?
