Well if it's not working 100% perfectly, I guess we should just go back to normal and hope for the best.
I mean, it's not working as good as Sweden's plan. Which you totally aren't advocating for :wink: :wink:Quote:

Looking real heroic there yourself pal.
Fingerbang seems to be under the misapprehension that I'm saying these things about Brewers and them because they are just now saying we should start opening up the country.
That isn't it at all. I'm saying these things about Brewers and them because they have been against all these protective measures since the beginning and have continually downplayed the severity of the virus and its effects.
So many Californians have moved to Texas that there are bumper stickers here that say "Don't California my Texas".Quote:

Similar with Nevada and I'm sure many other cheaper states people from Cali are flocking to.Quote:

My next-door neighbor is a local real estate guy and tells me that business is booming here in Connecticut as the wealthy New Yorkers have a place to go when they feel like fleeing the city.Quote:

Some locals are fighting back, proposing a significant property tax surcharge on homes that are not primary residences. Good luck with that when they haul in their corporate law teams.
