What you gonna eat in Arizona? Cactus? Snakes?Suure, buckwheat. With what? No guns?Get ready to starve, dumbass. Me? I can eat whatever. You? You're in for a rude awakening.And in a totally selfish vein, those who continue to disregard the social distancing orders prolong this goddamned shutdown and the ever tightening stay-at-home orders that are completely fucking up our lives.That is the legal/constitutional justification. There's no social need to ban snake handling, or even peyote use, if it's central to the exercise of religion, because no one besides the faithful are impacted. But the virus WILL WITHOUT ANY QUESTION spread outside of just the people assembling in some religious setting, because the faithful will not remain quarantined inside the locale of the religious setting.Nope, it's not a lie. Congregating in large numbers increasing the spread of COVID-19. Not just among church-goers, but among those with whom they come in contact. That selfishly puts others lives in peril and unfortunately for some, brutally strips away their right to life.Why should those rights supersede others rights to life?
Mainly because the premise that allowing people to exercise their explicitly-asserted First Amendment rights violates anyone else's right to life is a flat-out lie, and those of you telling it know damn well that you are lying.
Your pathetically weak excuse fails to justify placing the right to assemble above the right to life.
So, if someone want to assert the regulation goes too far in banning the assembly altogether, they have to address how the exponential rise in sick people is not affected.
if all 50 states go into shelter in place mode, scientists are predicting that our best outcome will be 100,000 - 240,000,000 dead. that is the benchmark we hope to meet. but it's not looking like the troglodyte states are jumping on board; so the toll might be higher. i hope & pray (in my house where i know god can hear me) that scientific models have it wrong.
But what about the millions that die afterwards from the Super-Depression that ensues?
You're right. Let's open up for business now. You think the virus is going away and the economy comes screaming back? You're not going to have an economy until this is under control.
If this last for a long time, we still won't have an economy. Right now, a lot of businesses , a lot of people are really struggling. I'm not personally. But those in retail trade, in hospitality, transportation, restaurants, pimpery and prostitution, are all being ruined and reduced to utter destitution.
I get that but you can't have an economy during wildly out of control pandemic. It's just not going to happen so we have no choice but to take care of one issue to a point where it is manageable and then go after the second otherwise neither gets fixed.
I'm not going hungry anytime soon. I can wait this out for years if need be.
I live in Arizona, who said anything about no guns?
Coyote? Don't eat Ms. Coyote, pls.
Aside from the cannibalism factor, I've grown rather fond over the years. That last unwarranted ban notwithstanding.
Oh, so you don't really know much about Arizona then.
So don't use devices that do that. May The Force be with you.Oh taking the battery out would certinaly defeat tracking right up to when you put it back in to make or receive a call.Any phone that doesn't have GPS is analog and can no longer connect to a network now.Kansas Says It’s Using Residents’ Cell-Phone Location Data to Fight Pandemic | National Review
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is using a GPS program to track residents’ locations through their cell phones in a bid to slow coronavirus cases.www.nationalreview.com
They claim they are using it to fight the pandemic.... so what exactly are they doing with the results of their spying data that has any affect
Well they might just have a tough time tracking me because I won't and don't own a so called smartphone.
I know that's an odd position for someone who helped to create the damned things in the first place but I just don't need one so why pay for something I don't really need.
I also refuse to becomes a stumbling drooling moron that can't even walk down the street or have a conversation over dinner without my eyes glued to that tiny little screen trying to tell me what to do, think and say 24/7.
You might can yank the battery, if you can do that. Not sure if that works.
Who needs "bugs" when every cell phone and Alexa is a listening device?
Not only with a microphone, but a camera, too!
