I love how you and others are already preparing to be wrong. When more people die as a result of the abysmal way Covid is being handled in the US, the only thing you will be able to do to avoid confronting that you’re an idiot is to claim that everyone who was right is “gleeful” that more people are dying. But the truth is no one is gloating about it, and the only one who’s a POS is the person who mocks the very simple and obvious concept of wearing a face covering, lacks the discipline to avoid crowds whenever possible and is also too much of a p**y to accept responsibility for their role in advocating and supporting obviously stupid behavior that kills people.
And suggesting suicides are up because of the particular things the government is doing about Covid that you don’t like is just ludicrous. Using your own rhetorical device against you, it just shows how “gleeful” you are about people dying so you can rationalize why you want to go to the brewery and live vicariously through your child’s sports.
But if you want to speculate so badly why a few teens have committed suicide, I’m going to speculate that there are a lot of other more likely reasons than not being able to play team sports or going out to dinner for a couple months. I’m going to speculate that there’s an overall feeling among much of our youth that now is the worst time ever to be an American, and are embarrassed to even be one. They see the EU propose banning Americans due to our poor handling of Covid, which is a polite way of saying the EU plans to ban Americans because they’re undeniably stupid as a whole. They see their government ruling based on fear and fueled by hate of entire classes of people, to which many of them either belong or support. They’re seeing American Aryan Hitler Youth claiming - in church of all places - that Aunt Jemima symbolizes the American Dream. They see the irony and sadness in the fact that our privileged little dumb blonde is actually telling everyone, without realizing it, that the idea of the American Dream that their parents held onto so dearly is a farce. They see their own moronic parents claim that people out protesting are stupid, but then turn right around and use those stupid people as their excuse to go out themselves. They’re seeing idiots claim that wearing masks are killing people because air can’t get in and out, but also claiming that masks don’t work because, uh, the air that carries the virus does get in and out.
And there’s also no telling whether sitting at home is a bigger factor in depression than if there had been no sheltering and a lot more people, including friends and family members, had died instead. In short, speculating that shelter-in-place restrictions were a bad idea because maybe perhaps it contributed to a few suicides is just grasping at straws in a weak effort to rationalize why getting a beer at the brewery is more important to you than, well, people living.
and the future is not looking good for many on the income front. I wasn;t speaking to you at all. I dont know you. I was just sharing a true story that is from a personal experience. Thanks for sharing
