Well, that’s a bit too simplistic of a statement imo. People are resuming “normal” activity in most places in the US not totally because they have given up. Most are continuing a gradual relaxing of whatever restrictions they imposed upon themselves because they are not observing mass casualties, not seeing many, if any, family or friends become sick and die, aren’t observing hospitals overflowing with bodies left to rot in the street, supply chains breaking down, etc. These were all very real concerns back in April.
I don’t want to speak for Cuse, but I feel pretty confident in saying that this activity would not have been entertained in the tiniest, slightest bit in April/May. At least part of the debate is due to the situation generally improving as a result of more and better data, better treatments, etc. in the months that followed.
I accidentally read Facebook comments at the bottom of a Toronto blog article and I learned that actually its scientifically impossible to have Covid and be asymptomatic, all restrictions on business are knee jerk overreactions, and Covid is no worse than a cold or flu and we just have to let it run its course. Many of these comments may be coming from bots but even so these views are still widely held 6 months after the facts started to come out about Covid. This is not good, politicians running on an Open for Business platform will have a structural advantage until we have a vaccine.
I’m getting ready to be a nomad for a while. One of the reasons is I have one good friend in LA that lives near me and one that moved to about 45 minutes away (which changes the relationship). And my ex, who might actually be my closest friend but also lives 45 min. away. And then a bunch of ok friends that I see maybe once a month in non-covid times.
There just isn’t a big draw to stay in one place right now.
+1 for the apps. They’re still really soft. I only play 1/2 NL and can make 5 figures on a good month with not much variance. And I don’t even think of myself as a really good player.
PokerBros. Cash in / cash out through an affiliate by cashapp/zelle/venmo. I at least know who my affiliate is, which is helpful. Cash out takes a few days.
I have been hesitant to come across as a shill which is why I haven’t posted much real info. I have an agent I have known for over 10 years now. He used to make accounts for me on euro sites after BF. I have access to a bunch of PokerBros and PPP clubs with good rakeback. Cash outs/in are pretty close to instant and mostly done via BTC but he can also do PP/Zelle sometimes.
That is all I am going to post about it, because I am not a shill for these sites just a player. If anyone wants more info or to get put in contact with this guy let me know. I also vouch for my guy up to $1k if he happens to skip out on us I am so confident that won’t happen.
My feelings toward Trump are only classified as “support” if you have some unhealthy obsession with actively hating him, which I do not.
I don’t buy the shaky arguments that he has screwed everything up because I don’t think he has the power or capacity to do half the shit he’s been charged with in the court of public opinion. Still, it’s undeniable that he’s a disaster at playing the PR part of his office. I’ve said that since day 1.
I’m very ready for the whole Trump experiment to be over with. I put my money where my mouth is on that front. I don’t think he has a chance, but that could just be the fact that I spend too much time on the internet talking. “Deplorables” I know are still convinced he can win.
Since this is the COVID thread, I don’t buy for a second that we’d be in a very different spot on this under a democrat president. The economy would still be utterly fucked from a shutdown. Americans would still value personal freedoms over hiding in their basements with masks on. Kids would still think they’re invulnerable and had COVID-spreading parties over spring break and summer. Sick people still would’ve died in large numbers.
There’s a nomad community. People caravan together. And most people in these videos report being less isolated than when they lived in “sticks and bricks”. But, you have to take into account that most of these people are older, retired/disabled, and single and lonely in the first place.
