I WORK in a bar. I can't do that from home. My boss is afraid that her business won't survive another lockdown. Before that, I worked in a factory. My old co-workers can't make paper from home, either.
It's great for all the big corporate chains. They run the small guys out of business, because they can absorb the losses, and those chains just GROW and GROW.
Did you know that, since the pandemic started, that this is the first time in almost 30 years that abject poverty, around the world, has gone UP? That poverty rates have been going down, at unbelievable rates, until Covid? That our supply chain is in serious jeopardy? Inflation is on the rise, getting back to what it was in in 1980, when mortgage rates were over 20%. What happens if those days return and they will if we keep locking everything down. The tax base is eroding, yet we need more money to support people who are told to STAY HOME. We are in a spiral and we're so afraid of the Covid monster that we can't see anything else. If we have a world economic collapse, similar to the Great Depression, tens of millions could starve to death, around the world, and Covid would STILL be with us.
Already the consequences are starting to rear their ugly heads and those ugly heads will get uglier and meaner if we keep stopping our economy. But at least YOU won't get Covid. LOL. As if we'll be able to control Covid if the collapse does come.

If I go to work and MAKE money to pay my taxes, as opposed to sitting at home, not paying a cent and living off the social teat, I expect those taxes to pay for my illness, just like any other medical issue.
If that were the case, people who smoke and get lung cancer, are on their own. Cirrhosis of the liver has to exclude, all those who drink, from socialised medicine. No assistance for the diabetics who are morbidly obese. If you play hockey and break your leg.....tough. You should have stayed home and watched TV, instead. If you catch your hand in a machine at work, through an error, get your brother-in-law to do the amputation.
It's tough enough to get a family doctor, in Canada, so we can get health referrals and now YOU want medical tribunals to decide whether one deserves medical help from the only source of medicine that we're allowed to have. Socialised medicine sure is compassionate, isn't it?

You just said that if I go to work and catch Covid, I shouldn't be allowed medical assistance. What would be the penalty for the guy, who had a mild case of Covid, and went to work and passed it on to me and I became seriously ill? Do we penalise him, too?
I was under the impression that the noble field of medicine was to care for all who were in need. Doctors even cared for Nazi soldiers who tried to kill our soldiers. Nazis, whose intent was to kill as many as possible, still deserved care when hurt in battle, but not Covid patients who step out of line. Even guys, like Paul Bernardo or Russell Williams, serial rapists and murderers, get treated for illnesses, but NOT me, because I want to work.
One strange sense of compassion you have there.

If inflation starts to rise out of control, to the point that our money is worthless, people aren't going to sit at home, terrified of Covid. Hunger will scare them more than Covid ever could and it doesn't matter who you are. YOU will leave your home to look for food or the means to earn the money to buy it. Why? Because hunger, TRUE hunger, is exponentially WORSE than Covid. People will get out and guess what. They'll STILL be spreading Covid AND they'll be malnourished. It'll increase death rates for Covid AND for other issues involving malnutrition.
If you want to know how best to handle Covid. Look to Florida. Even though their 7 day case count average is over 2500 new cases a day, their daily death count average is about 3 per day. They're wide open, wear a mask if you want, getting vaccinated if you want (a good idea), no work restrictions or lockdowns and they have the 3rd highest case count in the US. And that's perfect because they're the 3rd most populous state in the US. So...they're EXACTLY where they should be...and so is New York State. 4th most populous state in the US, and fourth in Covid cases. New York has had some of the strictest lockdowns in the US and Florida only had them for a short time and then they lifted them......and the results are the same. NO DIFFERENCE......and Florida is filled with seniors.
If New York locks down hard and Florida doesn't and they have similar results, what's the point?

This thing started out when you said that a person would be refused medical aid if they didn't follow the guidelines set out by the government. I laid out a case against it. I'll say one more thing.
Since when is the government the arbiter of all things right and wrong? Every war, genocide, forced labour, overt bigoted actions and suppression of freedom has been initiated, sanctioned or violently supported by governments. It's the main theme of human history. How did they do it? They did it by promising special benefits to certain segments of their societies. A little more land. Better food allotments, better access to fuel, little things, seemingly but essential for the survival of the average citizen. Men would join the militias just to get regular meals. YOU, are supporting the same kind of government pressure. "Do as I say or face the consequences." Loss of job. Loss of social contact through social marginalisation. Loss of medical assistance.
Where's it coming from? Our government. With the history of abuse and human misery left by governments, throughout history, I'm astounded that anyone would still support their edicts. Yet they do. They do it through fear. "Do as we say or you shall surely die". That's the very heart of your argument. FEAR....so total that you'll allow them to do as they will and threaten us by any means necessary.
I'm a grown man. I'd rather leave my safety in my own hands than is some strangers, who lives on a hill, in a distant capital city.
I'm either their equal or I'm not and when they FORCE me to do things, against my will, I'm NOT their equal.

Are you trying to say that if I vote against Trudeau, I'm against clean water? Why is this even a racial question? Shouldn't we all have clean water? If our government is getting us clean water, and there's a community, within the perview of that government, that doesn't have access to clean water, it's not living up to its mandate.
In other words, those communities, that don't have clean water, have been without under the current government for years. So, I'm really not understanding the question. Is the question whether I will continue to support a government that has allowed communities to go without clean water or not? If it is, no. I will not support a government that has allowed a community to go without clean water for years.

That doesn't fly, especially now. These girls will get support from those, like you, who take the stance that there is no way a girl would make up an allegation like this. There could be psychological rewards in making these accusations as well, a sort of Munchausen syndrome, where the attention is the priority over the reality. There are segments of society that laud the courage and bravery of those who stand up and tell their story. Manipulative individuals can use this to their advantage to coerce women to make allegations that aren't true with a promise of social approval from that segment of society.
Why do people, with the full realisation that they'd be open to ridicule, start to advocate for a flat earth? There are facets of the human psyche that don't fall under the norm and those things have to be considered when claims of any kind are made.
In this interview, thus far, Brown has been quite convincing and unless he's bluffing outrageously, he's going to come out vindicated. If a woman has been physically assaulted, by all means, come out and confront the accuser. However, if Brown is vindicated, then the witch hunt allegations will also be vindicated and the women will legitimate complaints will be in no better position than they were 30 years ago. No reasonable person should want that. That CTV reporter, I can't remember her name, should have made sure those sources were impeccable and beyond reproach. If Brown has witnesses that she has used in her story that contradict her story, then her career is in trouble. I'm not sure she did her due diligence at best and might even be guilty of orchestrating a scandal that didn't exist, at worst.
