"Fear Can Be Useful"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 16 hours ago
*"Fear Can Be Useful"* by Mark Manson 'Each week, I break down three important ideas that will hopefully make you a slightly less awful person. This week we’re talking: 1) the joys of being quarantined, 2) when fear is actually useful, and 3) how to grow from your pain. Let’s dive in! *1. See you when the apocalypse is over *- By the time you read this, my wife and I will be locked in our house with about a month’s worth of food and supplies. That might make me sound like I’m the mayor of Crazy Town, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the most logical and responsible thing ... more »

Trump Doesn't Deserve All Of The Blame For The Poor U.S. Response To COVID-19-- Just Most Of It

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Yesterday a senior member of Congress told me that he's taking the pandemic a lot more seriously than his wife, his friends and, most disturbingly, his colleagues, and speculated that it's because he's "been hearing about this for a lot longer than most people and I think it is going to get real bad in about 10 days. I hope I'm wrong, but fear I'm not. People in DC are not taking it seriously enough. I'm hearing bars and restaurants are still full." Bad enough, but the leadership is doing far too little and far too late. Obviously McTurtle is worse but Pelosi's pathetic, compromis... more »

COVID-19: Update for March 16, 2020

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
The coronavirus pandemic is now having a major impact on the American way of life, right across the country. I'd guess we have at least two, and possibly three to four months of major social and economic disruption staring us in the face. After-effects will almost certainly continue for much longer than that, but I think by then we'll have adjusted to them and made accommodations in many ways. I'm troubled that a lot of people are divided about the seriousness of this pandemic. On the one hand, you have the views exemplified by Heather Mac Donald, who writes: The number of case... more »
