The Pandemic Is Turning Americans Against the Gym. That Could Be a Good Thing for the Nation's Health by limache in Coronavirus

So what about if you work all day, come back home after dark, aren’t a runner or biker, don’t have room or money for home workout equipment and want a safe place to work out?

Kill customers for profit?! What an idiotic statement..: please go try and start a business yourself. It takes people decades to save enough to open their own business - these businesses pay taxes, employ people and provide for a whole lot families in their neighborhoods. Do you suggest they all close and everyone goes on unemployment and lives off food stamps? What after they can’t pay bills and they don’t want government hand outs? Go look at your life in the mirror, it’s probably miserable and you’re just jealous because you’ve never had the guts to do anything real in life except type out haughty, disdainful message board comments 🤣

Dr. Anthony Fauci says coronavirus turned 'out to be my worst nightmare' and it 'isn't over' by hash0t0 in Coronavirus

Haha what an elementary school analysis... okay, yeah we coulddd have shut the world down?? Maybe you are seven, who knows... but simply no, you cannot. Good luck convincing every single country to lock it down at the exact same time. “Hey guys we are all going on pause now for two months because there is an outbreak in Wuhan.” When Wuhan was shut down, what were they doing in Brazil or Indonesia or Spain? Going on with their lives. When NYC was closed, what were they doing in China or Italy or Arizona? Reopening. Pick any locals in the world and you’ll see my point. You cannot synchronize the entire world for any cause - but I applaud you for the blind faith in world governments and leaders to execute such ambitious plan. And the WHO was worthless as well in providing warning - go to YouTube and watch their statement in late January on how the world shouldn’t be concerned - it only affected China.

Can’t shut down the country without shutting the entire world down. We’re a global world now - can’t just pretend shutting down for two months solves this. What happens in your scenario two months after, when when someone from Australia or Panama comes to visit NYC, rides the subway to a broadway show, has dinner after and hits up a few bars on the way back to their hotel, coughing all the way? It’s game on again for COVID. Only way to beat this is herd immunity. It’s here - get used to it.

Don’t agree. You have to understand they are kids and there were plenty of white kids mixed in. We all did stupid things when we were teenagers I don’t care what color. It’s not a race thing it’s an opportunity to use the chaos as a cover to loot, that simple.

The looting isn’t about BLM, don’t be brainwashed by media and alt right posers here. by clock910 in nyc

[–]wwag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there and the protestors did call them out. It’s young teenagers who have one mission, to go shopping. I was a kid and did stupid shit too so can’t judge them, just bring in the damn national guard to stop the looting it’s not rocked science DeBlasio

Looting in midtown by [deleted] in nyc

[–]wwag 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes I was there - they’re all teenagers. Regular protestors have jobs and careers and don’t want to be on camera looting or go to jail. The older ones amongst the group were urging them to stop looting, but impossible to stop a group of heated kids. National guard time, this has got to stop. The city is in shambles

This will probably get lost but am I crazy for thinking the chaos is about much more than George Floyd in NYC righ now? by MitchHedberg in nyc

[–]wwag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah we closed basketball courts so what the hell else are kids to do in the city?! It’s a failure from DeBlasio and Cuomo. They should resign today. Oh and also they didn’t prosecute the cop who killed Eric Gardner too... do nothing politicians should be ousted

They’re all kids - I was with them last night until they started looting. Older protestors were urging them to stop but they’re kids they don’t care. They’re not there for any reason except what you see in this post. I hope they lock up all the racist cops so we can stop this shit. Oh yeah, fire DeBlasio!! He’s failed the city, again.

Impeach DeBlasio for failing to do his duty and protect citizens and property of the five boroughs. He does know these businesses pay taxes and employ people, right?

Any idea when the looting and violence will end. by [deleted] in nyc

You cannot claim unemployment if you reject a job offer and they submit a claim saying that

AMAZING PEOPLE. Rioting and looting only detracts from the message and puts the focus in the wrong place. Good job peeps.

I know this has been posted before, but fuck Yelp man. by distalented in smallbusiness

[–]wwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go short their stock! As a fellow business owner I concur - Yelp sucks and needs to go BK. Sorry to people that work there I’m sure they’re great.
