Is it wrong for me to assume that you, a seemingly intelligent man, allow the President, and his cronies (family members too), and the "non-mainsteam media", brainwash you to the extent that you feel the mainstream media brainwashes others?HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 2:49 pmThe “right way,” according to the “mainstream” media, is to wait 18 more months after a new POTUS has been installed and martial law is firmly in place.
I have trouble comprehending why states use a percentage of capacity number.jhawks99 wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:58 pm Kentucky is beginning to reopen. We have met the guidelines to do so. Restaurants will open Friday. 33% of capacity, they are asking parties are all from the same household. I think servers are wearing gloves and masks. I can't imagine working a busy shift wearing a mask.
I believe it's based on fire code numbers which has to do with people per square foot.Grandma wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 4:09 pmI have trouble comprehending why states use a percentage of capacity number.jhawks99 wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:58 pm Kentucky is beginning to reopen.

Wouldn't you figure it should be based on size of a dining area more than a seating capacity percentage?
Someone can own a restaurant that has 5,000 square feet of dining area space but normally seats only 250 people and the person next door can have a restaurant that has 2,500 square feet of dinning space but normally seats 300 people. It's not only acceptable but also considered "safer" to have more people in half the space?
OR is the "capacity" number dictated by the local fire department/government/whomever based on the square footage of the dining area?
Thank you! It would obviously make more sense. Regardless if it means some places with the same "capacity" will still seat people closer together than other places.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 4:12 pmI believe it's based on fire code numbers which has to do with people per square foot.Grandma wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 4:09 pmI have trouble comprehending why states use a percentage of capacity number.jhawks99 wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:58 pm Kentucky is beginning to reopen.

I don't think anyone is brainwashed. I think the "mainstream" media advances an extremely biased, agenda-driven narrative, and I think the rest of the media, as a reaction, advances a biased, agenda-driven narrative in the other direction. The result is that the truth is very hard to find. As I have said before, I don't like DJT as a person. I don't even think he is a good person, much less the best person for the job. He was, however, the lesser of two evils, and, failing a drastic change of ticket for the DNC, he will be the lesser of the evils again in November. I will always go with the lesser of evils when I have no other options.Grandma wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:42 pmIs it wrong for me to assume that you, a seemingly intelligent man, allow the President, and his cronies (family members too), and the "non-mainsteam media", brainwash you to the extent that you feel the mainstream media brainwashes others?HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 2:49 pmThe “right way,” according to the “mainstream” media, is to wait 18 more months after a new POTUS has been installed and martial law is firmly in place.
It's one of the advantages I have by being an Independent voter. I get to see and realize that both "sides" are whacked out in regards to what they allow themselves to believe - and not to believe.
I see it in many examples every day.
It's one of the things I am planning on discussing with a psych therapist and small group of other people in the next two hours.
I respect your response and agree (up until you said lesser of two evils) but I do understand why people feel that way.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 5:20 pmI don't think anyone is brainwashed.

That's just sounds like a justification for "I believe things are a certain way even though I have no actual evidence that supports my belief."HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:22 pmIs there such a thing as being preemptively hyperbolic while secretly hoping to be proven wrong? ‘Cause that would be me right now.twocoach wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:10 pmYou seem to be reading different mainstream media sites than I am.

Please walk me through the evils that would have been visited upon this country had Hillary won, and had to deal with a GOP-controlled Senate for her entire term.HouseDivided wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 5:20 pmI don't think anyone is brainwashed.
