Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

This is what Dominic posted when he started shutting down threads. Is this thread part of the "Off Topic" forum?

This forum other than the Off Topic forum will now be void of any political or racially sensitive posts. Forum Members who cannot abide will be banned at my discretion.
Current threads who already have this type of content will be locked, or deleted.
This forum was created to discuss youth soccer, and lately we have totally gotten off track. I have read many of these divisive threads , so I know who the main participants are, and you will be watched.

Again Off Topic is the only allowable place for racially sensitive or political posts like it always has been. No I am not condoning attacks on this basis just discussion.

IKR. So weird that things keep going off topic each time @The Outlaw comes back from his time outs, this time with the Kyle Rittenhouse crack.

Why would pricing on houses fall? Inventory is still limited. If nothing is being built, would only increase prices on what is available. In places like San Francisco companies now have a few more options to select from, but the pricing hasn’t dipped due to the inventory still being limited. House pricing doesn’t show how many people are employed or give the number of construction projects going on or indicate retail sales - or even how people are spending their money. Data is being accumulated in these times in even greater mass. The amount of daily reporting employees do has at least tripled in most companies we deal with.

You honestly should stop. My company has government contacts and our meeting are based off direct info provided from municipalities- including the two largest builders. The builders are actually cities (they are that large) that build in other cities and throughout the state. We are in a recession and it is going to last past the 11 months it usually takes to get out of it. Our economy fell 34%. A market correction is typically between 10-20%. A market correction usually takes 4mos to recover from on average. A Bear market, which we were in, takes 4.2 years to recover from. We did it in 148 days. So you say that proves your point, it doesn’t because of the recesssion. It can even double dip. American Airlines is laying off 40,000 people by Oct 1st. Other airlines are laying off people as well. CDC just protected people from being evicted. Awesome, but there is no mechanism in place to help compensate the landlords. So many of these property owners are going to have to foreclose. How many? We don’t know, but that all effects things such as Tenant Improvement Projects, Remodels and new construction. That affects jobs and spending. Add the fact that only about 10% of all Americans are financially stable and it’s a real recipe for hurt. Call these companies in these markets up and say you are a blogger or reporter. The majority will say, they just want this year to be over. You obviously have not sat in meetings where admins of companies have swallowed all pride and humbly asked for everyone in the room to help as much as they can. Not for them, but so they they can save everyone’s job.

Can you imagine if Prop 15 passes in the middle of all this? Although it will take a few years to implement...holy crap!

Wow...you've gotten unusually defensive not just with my comment but with others....take a breadth and maybe walk away for a bit. I was echoing your point that building structures are going to change. Large campuses, open floor plans were the rage of all tech companies, studios, com companies in recent years. That's going to change.

As I told my kid after his first disastrous play in goal 3 years go....don't have the stomach for it, hang up the cleats, don't play...no one's forcing you.

How was I defensive with your comment? Because I pointed out it had nothing to do with what I was talking about? Project much? Once again and as you often do, you start a new conversation because you don't have a response to the original topic and you start criticising. It is okay to not know everything Grace. It doesn't make you look good when you start a new topic. When you don't understand or don't know, it is okay to just scroll on by. You are still good enough, strong enough, and people like you. LOL literally!

Thats easy for you to say since your kid didnt have to go through a situation like this. shes already gone through youth soccer and reached the pinnacle of her soccer career. You might have sung a different tune if this hit during her formative years as a soccer player.

See that is where you are wrong. School has always been number one for her. Everything else has been a bonus. You might have missed that I said that my kids current internship is more important than the soccer is to her. And no we did not go through a pandemic but she missed plenty of soccer games for vacations and for academic reasons.

Excellent question. I wonder what the great Maps would have done as a Jr or Sr stud in HS? I would be so depressed, mad, sad, angry and I would have just quit school. No books for this guy. I dont read books, ever!!! Boring for me.

My kid committed to the school she just graduated from as a sophomore in high school so I imagine there wouldn't have been any difference.

Wow. Last time I try to back up even a part of your argument. I actually agree with a lot of your economic argument (though from the Swedish, Australian and South Korean experiences I think the lockdowns and restrictions actually have more of an impact than any surges). Didn't wade in much because the building structures are the only part which is in my bailiwick, which I think you are right about.

I'm talking about Maps as a young stud as Jr or Sr? You stay inside and obey and play no ball? Plus, this is easier for girls then boys, just saying. A good girl who reads books and studies, juggles and hits ball against wall is ok in this Corona environment. Boys? Hell no!!!

Disneyland will be open before schools in LA County.
And how is it science to have people stacked in lines sometimes indoors for minutes at a time next to each other, but stadiums outside at reduced capacity wearing masks aren't even o.k. in the yellow zone?

Actually Disney World has done a great job reopening. With mask requirements for workers and guests, all lines socially distanced, the park at 1/2 capacity, and ride vehicles assigned to families this is a win for the economy. Hundreds of thousands of jobs on the line.

You could use a few more “reallys” but, as usual, I’m trying to be diplomatic.

I don't doubt it, but they at least tried to approach it reasonably, scientifically and weighing the risks

But in our state hair salons are o.k. but nail salons aren't
Schools might very well remain closed before Disneyland opens
Outdoor sports stadiums even at reduced capapcity and with masks won't be open into the yellow zone, but Disneyland (where some cues are inside) and movie theatres (again indoors) are a go in the red zone.
Indoor dining potentially before youth sports.

There's no ryhme or reason except govt picking winners and losers and who has the most political clout.

Ahhh, not science, but $$$. The dollars will set you free. Start generating some tax revenue at soccer games (refreshments, entry fees, entertainment, etc). I know it's not that simple but you get the point. Is sea world open? San Diego Zoo?

Yes, he is a murderer. The people he murdered had a right to due process, rather than to be murdered by an armed vigilante. Due process does not include the President of the United States telling armed vigilantes to take matters into their own hands. In fact, that is the opposite of due process. Nothing I said was ironic, but what you said definitely was. And was also really, really stupid.

I believe the league will start in October. Just keep pressuring your state congress person and Newsome's office to open soccer bc it's outdoors and then schools. We're getting close. Continue doing what you need to do to keep the sanity and fun in life, without killing anyone.

Hair salons before nail salons make sense to me. One is touching hair with gloves on. One is touching skin to skin bc it's pretty hard to do your nails with gloves on your hands.

Outdoor sports should open up before schools but schools affect more families.

Send those emails and keep calling those offices but keep wearing your mask and social distance when possible. It doesn't hurt, it'll only help.
