You have a co-worker who comes to work and is clearly sick. You tell the co-worker they should probably go home. They ignore you. The next day the co-worker tests positive for Covid.
Two days later you're sick and have Covid. You can't prove you got it from the co-worker but you can't prove you didn't. Because you have Covid, you have to miss an important work meeting, can't attend a concert you purchased tickets (or A ticket) to go to, and can't go on a vacation you had planned.
1. On a scale of 1-100 (1 being don't care - 100 being if you could you would kill the co-worker) how pissed are you at the co-woker?
2. Do you blame your employer and/or the sick co-worker's supervisor/superior for not sending the co-worker home - despite knowing the co-worker is clearly sick?
3. Again, you can't prove you got Covid from the co-worker - but you can't prove you didn't. Do you feel you have the right to ask your employer to be reimbursed for money you lost by not being able to go to the concert and on your vacation AND - any/all medical expenses you incur?
4. Do you feel you have the right to refuse to return to work WITHOUT repercussions until the company sends out a company wide memo reminding employees if they are sick (Covid or any other obvious illness) they need to stay home?
5. There are people who truly believe or at least claim Covid is over. What percentage of those people do you feel are Republicans and what percentage do you feel are Democrats?

1. 92
2. Yes
3. No
4. Yes. They also have the right to fire you.
5. You don't feel like covid is "over" for most people? I do. I don't know anyone who regularly masks everywhere they go or are sheltering in place. Which if we are being honest, sheltering in place is the only way to guarantee you avoid covid. My life is 100% back to normal. I don't worry about covid any more than I worry about the flu. If I feel sick then I stay home though. I do think there is a new outlook for the vast majority of people when it comes to that. We are much more aware of preventing the spread of sicknesses. Unfortunately your coworker hasn't adopted those habits.

I was going to ask Fish if he has used an AR-15 in the same capacity he has used a hunting "rifle" - to purposely kill a living being - and if so, was it more or less fun than using the hunting "rifle".
I don't know, my simple mind seems to believe if AR-15s were a little less "really fun" to shoot, and a little less easily obtainable, perhaps innocent people wouldn't be shot and killed as frequently in the USA.
Then I was going to ask Fish why he shot an AR-15. What GOOD reason does a citizen of the USA have to shoot an AR-15 other than - they can - and it is "really fun"?
I can't help but wonder how many of those who have used AR-15s to murder innocent people felt it was "really fun" when they did as such.

This is sort of my point.

Shooting AR-15s is fun. But, because I am a rational member of society and not a rube, I recognize that my personal interest in having fun shooting AR-15s should probably be subordinated to our society's interest in, generally, reducing the number of people who get shot by guns. So, I'd be 100% cool with a renewed assault weapons ban.

It's not complicated.

Driving 140mph is fun, too, and the rubes don't seem offended by, you know, not being allowed to drive 140mph just because.

This isn't the point. People having access to ar15s has nothing to do with fun. I dont really care for people that get way too obsessed with guns because they think shooting is fun.

The point of people like you and I having access to ar15s is its a tool that regulates our enemies, foreign or domestic
