Things Are Gona Change

I'm getting tired of all these government people and NGO people saying things are going to change and "The New Normal". SCREW THEM!!! I just watched a video of some dude from Canada living and working from his custom van. Maybe 50 years old and he is saying that everything is changing and for the first time in his life he is thinking about his safety. Apparently there are no mean people in Canada. Well he bought a small baseball bat and two large knives. He seems to think he is ready now to handle all the zombies he is likely to encounter. Good luck Bubba. As far as I can tell, with the exception of being able to buy some items which really hasn't been a problem, my life is just the same as before all this crap started. I don't intend to change a damn thing just cause a bunch of dummies think I should. Bunch of sissy little girls.

Change scares the sheeple . Society will not be what we know as normal. Interesting times for sure
I'm not scared and I'm not concerned about the people in society, I know most are good folks with good heads on their shoulders. I am concerned about the over reaching powers on display by the different levels of government.
One punk with a Raven and it's over for him.
Other folks might have different plans for his bat and knives.
The way their president want to dis-arm the nation a man with a Raven will be a "warlord". As for the van dude first to die or ask for help that ain't coming.
All the new regulations are pretty much going to remain because “that’s the new normal.” (I hate using that term!)
No - we’ll be living with the aftershocks for years. I don’t like it. I don’t want to. But I fear that it’s inevitable.
WearyTraveler - Smaller classes? How they gonna do that? Teach only kids with papers? The way I see it they'll want to keep the kids home schooled and keep collecting taxes for not baby sitting them.
Single serving ready meals? MREs were made to do that trick and they come with TP. They'll have to make them cost effective though for the super nickel and dimers.
"What we are doing now is what we will be doing from now on . . . because it worked and all of us did not die. We must keep doing it just so we don't all die."
or
"We will have to increase our current methods of operation . . . because too many of us died. If we increase the social distancing to 10 feet, have a maximum of 5 in a group, only allow 10% of business occupancy, and schedule a haircut every six months, things will be much better and we won't all die."
There is not a snowball's chance in Hell that things will return back to the way they were last year.
Does anybody remember getting on an airplane without taking your shoes off, not needing a passport to get back into your own country from Mexico, or a single page 4473?

Wife is the manager in a junior high school cafeteria. School traditionally ends with last of may or first week of June . Cafeteria closes then . They are now talking about extending meal service thru July. They have been serving drive thru everyday since this crap started . We don’t feed the kids during a normal summer yet those are the current plans
Pretty sure they keep the lunch rooms open to feed the kids here in the off season (breakfast and lunch?). Why not tax payers footing the bill here in California. I wonder how long that'll last with folks out of jobbie job? You know I'd wear a mask to get free vittles and not have to wash the dishes afterwards at the school a few blocks away.
That reminds me a few weeks back there was a line of cars lined up along the way to the jr high. I thought they were getting bags of rations. Now if those silly buggers (I have to use creative words instead of short words to avoid censorship) with their motors running to get a dollar/free school breakfast. If so they should walk there to get the eats. It's not like they're doing anything other than playing mind/mine craft (that's still a thing, right?).
I guess soon this state will be nothing but free loaders and tech companies since all the blue and white collar folks done fled. I imagine California will resemble Rio's Favelas and city scape. Maybe I'll go and watch "District 9" and "Elysium". Maybe I'll skip "Elysium" since that's a crappy movie.
my 4 grandkids have always been homeschooled. They’re pretty smart and knowledgeable. Maybe the rest of the nation’s kids will be better off with HS... But I do t think so. I’ve seen the adults around here. Half of them don’t know the info themselves, I sat in a class 2 years ago and a high school math teacher admitted that she didn’t know all the letters for cursive writing. I know of parents that have done their kid’s homework for them. Too many parents aren’t equipped to teach. And with the social distancing now “required” for just about everything, opening schools is going to be expensive as hell and fun to watch...
Yes MREs may be the answer. But they’re going to have to really lower the per meal cost to make it affordable. The US already spends the most (I think) per student.
