Bingo! End the $600 unemployment bonus. No more stimulus checks mailed out. Looking at infection rate v death rate, Covid19 is not nearly as fatal as their models predicted. So what if it is infectious if the majority of people recover and most are asymptomatic. Also, allow people the HCQ cocktail and move forward. Get students back in school. Get everything back open. Allow people to protest, but if they start spray painting, arrest them for vandalism and prosecute.
Cut off the teachers pay too if they aren't going back. The amount of teachers I've seen whining and moaning on different platforms about how they are going to have to go back in a month's time is mindblowing. People support their complaining so much--it's sad. Everyone else still has to do their whole job to get their full pay and not just phone it in with a little video and some worksheets.
These Teachers don't realize that if they don't go back to school, if their ISN'T a school year as we know it, their entire profession is going to either suffer a Radical transformation or go Poof entirely? How much of what's taught in schools can students reasonably do On Their Own with minimal guidance?
One of the best things my mother ever did for me was telling the Kindergarten I was attending to "Go Fuck Themselves" when they suggested that I be put on Ritalin for being "Overly Exuberant" in the mornings.
Up to a certain age school is a glorified daycare. After that though, you can easily just leave your kid with a pile of books and worksheets and let them do it themselves.
Only things you miss out on are... sports, science labs/and other hands-on activities... and thats mostly high-school level stuff anyway.
And what about us "essential" employees who never got to work 'from home' because we work in a damn grocery store, HRM?? Over entitled "teachers" filling our children's heads with garbage while whining about shit they haven't had to face for the past 5 months like me or people like me
Yeah there's tons of jobs that just kept going on. If the teachers all decide to sit at home they will soon find out how non-essential their jobs are. Worst case, if they are gone the kids learn on their own from home.
Groceries, farming, maintenance, repair, all kinds of things just had to keep going and still have to show up. Just think if those all closed up how much impact it would have. I could even argue for the essential-ness of a lot of people that have been working their full job from home; people that do infrastructure, logistics, utilities, etc. Full disclosure, I'm one of these people and trust me there's no phoning in a 2 hour day I do as much as I was at the office.
So yeah, teachers are about as essential as a bar. Kids can learn from home and people can drink from home. They need to get over themselves.
How can you have no sympathy for public school teachers, and their grueling work schedule of working until mid afternoon on weekdays for nearly half the days on the calendar, except for vacation, sick and personal paid days off?
That sounds like my thoughts when they bitch about their pay. I have a decent paying job with over ten years with the company, if you take my pay on an hourly level and apply it to teachers over the actual weeks they work (I even give them 40 hours a week when they do work) then a teacher makes as much as I do. I just don't get the entire summer off.
Oh wait I forgot, "Wah! wah! I have to grade papers." How about quit giving out so much BS to grade. It's not like that garbage actually does anything.
My engineering professor hates teaching remotely and wants to go back in the classroom... so they aren't all bad. Added her on my Facebook once I graduated.... and yes she is a hottie and way to smart for her own good!
Of course with any polarizing opinion there's a lot that aren't all bad and I hate how the bad all get caught up in it. It's the downside of working in a union heavy profession for one. I'd love to see more of them speak up but with the culture as it is I can understand why they don't.
As someone who went to college for engineering, I can certainly say that the American engineering professors were all top notch. I have zero complaints about any of them I ever had. Smart, no BS people that liked what they were doing and were good at it. The Arabs and Asians not so much--even the ones that were good people were garbage at teaching. Often they were both horrible people and garbage at teaching.
I had a Bangladeshi instructor for most of my classes... I preferred his tests (easier...) but the white female American professor was much easier on the eyes and much more entertaining and clear spoken about various engineering concepts. Her tests while not harder it was her grading style that was more punishing. This varied class to class... open ended questions were more lenient but the problems were way more challenging... zero room for error or partial credit.
You can teach engineering remotely that well especially if you have labs. I have done some grad level courses on artifical intelligence remotely and it worked fine. Doing a class with labs? lol in your dreams.
I used to believe that most covid cases were asymptomatic.
Now I’m starting to wonder if most “cases” are just false positives, at best, or flat out fraud at worst. How can you send in ten sterile swabs and have them all come back positive? Why are people who aren’t even tested getting positive results?
The fuckery that has gone on with the testing is insane.
Why anyone would voluntarily choose to be tested, and then subsequently treated like a criminal after getting what is more likely than not a false positive, is beyond me.
If there's significantly fewer cases, that means the mortality rate is significantly higher (assuming Covid deaths aren't also being inflated -- which we know they are).
There's no way to know what to do to protect yourself and others when you're given false data. The only default when you know you're being lied to is to stop believing everything.
I agree. I don't get the weirdos with no symptoms wasting time standing in line to get a test...those long lines seem like a great place to get exposed to a virus!
Initially I would have gone to get an antibody test. I suspect my son had it in January and we all got sick at the time. I was curious - I would have done it in March.
Knowing what I know now, about rampant false positives, health department house arrest orders including ankle monitors, and how my “positive” test result would be used to push the never ending “sky is falling” narrative, the only way I am getting tested is if I end up sick in the hospital and they force it on me as a condition of other life saving treatment I need.
Fuck this gestapo bullshit, if I’m sick I will do the courteous thing and stay home to not infect others, but I will not voluntarily subject myself to the schutzstaffel goons who want to terrorize me and my family.
I'm starting to think a lot of "asymptomatic" cases actually show symptoms in the form of erratic thoughts and behavior. Because the whole country is going crazy.
I had not thought of that... most of people "protesting" are probably unemployed and making $600 per week to not work. This is why they can dedicate weeks to just show up day after day doing this shit.
100% agree with everything you say here, I just want to add that the $600 unemployment bonus ended last week. So, let's see how things change over the next few weeks.

Exactly if they want to pull this, why not have one instructor teaching like a 1000 kids, that way you could fire 99% of these obsolete union clowns.

Remember teachers are only teachers because they're lazy as fuck and don't want to work summer months. THAT'S THE ENTIRE REASON THEY ARE TEACHERS!!!
There are dozens of industries who's leadership and workforce seem to want to be made obsolete and replaced within western society.
There are countless free YouTube videos alone that are packed with knowledge and no agenda.
Fuck teachers. I’ll just say it. I can think for myself and I don’t need to regurgitate their information.
And what about us "essential" employees who never got to work 'from home' because we work in a damn grocery store, HRM?? Over entitled "teachers" filling our children's heads with garbage while whining about shit they haven't had to face for the past 5 months like me or people like me

Most of them are lazy idiots waiting out their sinecure in the most demoralizing way possible.
teachers are barely people
haha this reminds me of a classic norm moment

Not fast... Engineering, professor, female, and hottie don’t go together.
Stop the money stop the virus.

I thought it was the end of July...
It was supposed to be, but I've been informed that it ended early. My sister-in-law was receiving it and was told the bonus ended last week.
Good!
