Question SoCal parents. I know many of you on here have stated that players are staying put on their former GDA teams. But I know realities will be different. How many players are now being impacted because of movement?

There are vultures out there who are swooping down to grab as many top players as they can and then dropping current players. It will be interesting to see if there is even a season ahead.

So what you are saying is that those with mental issues will die and those with no mental toughness will


I am serious, I raised three kids on my own, no child support or alimony and had a low paying job. Had a really rough year where I had to work three jobs for about 9 months and swore I would never let that happen again. I saved, in about 5 years I had at least six months income in the bank that I could stretch to eight months if needed. The money is still in the bank! You are delusional if you think that people can't save. I drove my Toyota Corolla for nineteen years until the bottom rusted out and I could see the road below the seat. Finally donated it, nobody wanted it. There are second hand stores for just about everything. We didn't go out to eat, I could go on and on. Go enjoy your beer, tacos, McDonalds or whatever your food preference is. There is great freedom in knowing that you have emergency funds, have saved for special events, and saved for your retirement. Self discipline is great! Try it sometime!

You are the exception not the rule. Strange, people assume republicans like myself have no compassion but this guy is evil. Some people fall on hard times that are beyond what they control. I agree more people need financial competence, but to say everyone should be able to do it is false. Some people need help because they are in a situation beyond their control.

Dude, are you even reading what I write? I literally said old people and sick people can stay quarantined. Healthy young people should be free to work IF they want. There are plenty of people willing to drop off supplies for those that are too at risk to go out. I'm sure you would be at the top of that list. So my method, would not only protect old and sick people, but we would also be generating income and taxes to support a stimulus check if needed. How is that trading old peoples lives for opening up the country? Just because the country opens up doesn't mean old people have to come out. If old people are already out and about then they are already at risk. we can still maintain 6 feet, no additional risk.

So explain this then... what do you say to those who are elderly/ disabled/ pregnant/ immune compromised and are living with healthy people, when everything opens up again. What then? Does that mean that the one person has to go away and live by themselves until a vaccine is created. If the healthy family members go back into the community where there’s now a higher chance of exposure, they now bring a higher risk of exposure to their family member. No matter how you want to see this, you are basically saying that my life as an immune compromised person is expendable, because the aforementioned scenario is exactly what’s happening in my home, and it’s my family’s biggest fear.

You said "If the healthy family members go back into the community where there’s now a higher chance of exposure"

nobody is forcing the healthy family member to go back into the community. We can maintain the current procedures for social distancing like in grocery stores and we can implement them in other places of businesses as well. We cant keep printing money forever hoping the vaccine will be made soon. healthy people with less than 1% fatality rate can be your "heroes' generating income so that you can get a stimulus check to hold you over. We can even compromise and go back to lockdown if it appears we are going to overwhelm our hospitals. We all know the lockdown isn't a cure, its just waiting to die (being sarcastic here) or get the vaccine, which ever is sooner. The lockdown was just to flatten the curve remember?

Agree, I had a year where I needed help and didn't get it. But learned. Probably 80% of people could definitely do better, even if it means dropping club soccer! Imagine saving $2,000 to $3,000 a year for three years and banking that amount. You then would have six to nine thousand dollars in the bank and that is with just dropping one thing. I would love to see a survey of how many times a week families eat out, or stop for beverages or buy lunch instead of bringing something from home. I suspect people would be shocked at how much they spend over the course of a month. Read an interesting story about a family who set a goal of not buying anything new for one year. Wish more people would really read stories like this or the one about the man who worked as a custodian his whole life. He and his wife never had children but upon his death, his wife died first, he left an estate of over two million dollars. That was working a minimum wage job his entire life. That was an amazing story! Unfortunately, people want immediate gratification and lack the self discipline to do what would actually make them feel secure and free and rally enjoy their life. Oh well, human nature.

I don't think many people here with kids in club soccer have a problem saving for emergency situations. There are significantly more people in this country that aren't as blessed as you, fully aware they need to save but cant. you should really recognize that.

It is pointless debatIng anyone who cannot accept the moral dilemma that what they want will result in people dying. Their religion prevents them from choosing their wallet over morality, so they need to make up excuses that deny that is what they are doing. So they make up one crazier way after the next to rationalize their selfishness. Seriously, killing more old people saves lives? The olds deserve to die if they go outside, need convalescent or hospital care, or lack the resources and family assistance to stay home? We should just do what S Korea did although it is not possible here, because that way I can blame others for all these deaths when other people didn’t or couldn’t do what S Korea did? Shoot, @Ellejustus is even arguing that dying is for their own good.

You can only mock these people. It is the only way.

Oh no, they’re comprehension is just fine. It’s people like you that need practice- not just on reading comprehension, but on ethics, morality and common decency. We have been lucky in that my husband has been able to work from home part time, and the clinic where he works (which normally has 85+ people... not including clients, there are one time) are currently operating on a skeleton staff. As a nurse, if/ when everything reopens, he will be mandated to go back into the office 5 days a week. His exposure rate not only goes up because he’s in the office more, but he’ll come into exponentially more people on a daily basis. And his higher risk of exposure puts me at a greater risk- one who is immune compromised. So no, “nobody is forcing the healthy family member to go back into the community” is not entirely true in your world. Thank you @EOTL for being a voice of reason.
 
I was waiting for this place to go 100% coo coo and it has. I'm done for good :) Soccer was filled with all sorts of nut bags and I already knew it and now I really do. I hope to see some of you at the fields some day. I will wear my mask until it's ok. Carrion parents!!!!

This is my End Of The Line song.

Does this mean that EVERY person should stay in their homes for an indefinite time until you feel safe and in doing so destroying the economy? Never mind the lives lost due to any number of things up to and including people not seeking non covid health care.

Or does it mean the in the situation that you lay out the people involved take extra precautions? There is funding in place for people that need to be care givers to someone such as yourself.

Depends on what “phase” outdoor sports falls under. I know where I stand but don’t want to go into details b/c. in short....he 5 page debate that moved from the “GOOD NEWS” thread to this thread needs to go back so we can continue to talk soccer.

Does this mean that EVERY person should stay in their homes for an indefinite time until you feel safe and in doing so destroying the economy? - This is a straw man argument. No one is making this argument. They are asserting that existing shelter in place rules remain important to save the lives of old people. No one is saying that no one can go anywhere ever. No one is saying essential businesses need to close. They are saying that doing whatever the f**k you want, whenever you want, and wherever you want is going to kill people.

Never mind the lives lost due to any number of things up to and including people not seeking non covid health care. - Ooh, this is seriously passive aggressive mental pretzel twisting. It essentially says we need to reopen the economy to save the old people who don’t die from covid. This is such a dumb (also straw man) argument that it’s hard to even give it any discussion, but I will because I can mock you. The point of shelter in place orders is so that sick people can go to the hospital when they need to with minimal risk of contracting covid there and dying from either it or whatever condition caused them to go there in the first place. The shelter-in-place orders encourage the sick to go to the hospital and make it more safe, and allow better care when a hospital is not overwhelmed by corona patients.

Or does it mean the in the situation that you lay out the people involved take extra precautions? - Yeah, exactly, like continued sheltering in place, which is saving lives. Those kinds of precautions.

There is funding in place for people that need to be care givers to someone such as yourself. - Sure there is. This is more rationalizing to avoid responsibility for the deaths that will result from re-opening too much too soon. Many people do not have the family or resources to care for them even if the government were handing out money like candy, which it is not.

Voice of reason? Your husband is not forced to work. there are people that choose not to work because they are taking care of an immune compromised person at home. The only people truly being forced are those that were forced to close their businesses. Your husband has a choice. He has the freedom to choose. He accepted the risk by taking that position. You cant be called a hero and then complain you are at risk when it was knowingly accepted. Its sad that people no longer know what freedom is. No wonder people willingly give it up these days.

Ooh, now it’s your husband’s fault when old people die because the economy reopens since he’s not a caregiver. Man, people will argue anything to avoid responsibility for people dying to protect their wallets.
