Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=BengalMan;4754744]The president has done a horrible job of managing everything. Period.

Flip flops? Name one? You mean in the last hour? Or the last 10 minutes?

"give the guy a break", he can only lie so long in four years, and thank god sanity returns next January.

Goodwill, YOU are in the top 3 for Stoopidest posts of all time. What a moron.[/QUOTE]So sad so many are so filled with hate for our president that you can only repeat the same crap most of the media pushes. Trump closed travel to and from China while he was being impeached (100% partisal even though Dems said it had to be bipartisan), and now claim he was slow to respond. This virus is a total unknown and hindsight will show we got lots of things wrong. The biggest point to remember, the world has it because China lied.

Look at how the governors or even our VP handle pressers about the status of COVID-19 and compare those with what Trump does. Cuomo was asked yesterday about NY's unemployment claim system failures and he admitted that NY's system collapsed. But he also explained that NY has hired 1,000 people to man phonelines to get people's claims handles. Had Trump gotten a 'gotcha' question like that he would not have known what steps were being taken to address the situation, would have accused the reporter of asking a nasty question, and would have blamed Obama. I know my critique is falling on deaf ears so, go on, continue to humor me.

Is it the end of the hobby?? I'm getting worried. The hobby has been going down hill in my opinion. Now with this pandemic it has got even worse. The selection of quality women worth visiting has been going down steadily over the past few years. Now the site has went down with no word on what's going on plus the ads were getting slimmer and slimmer to begin with. From what I see and read it seems 95 percent of list crawler women are either untrustworthy, bad hygiene, or just drugged out not attractive at all. It seems like unless you want to pay a ridiculous amount for a decent provider you're screwed. I don't have the budget anymore to risk a terrible encounter with ones with no reviews or anything. I need a sure thing when I make an appointment. Iv had far too many bad experiences taking a chance on random ads. I don't like to be negative but the overall selection is so bad right now. Hopefully steve can work his magic when things calm down and get us another " " "julliete" "brookee " "lindsee "types. Those were my favorite! They were quality and appropriate rates at the time. Anyways iv seen more 'snap chat premium' and onlyfans girls talk about "meets" but iv never came across one that I trusted enough to actually visit. Most of them want cash app deposit and I just don't trust it. Idk maybe that's where the hobby is going. Idk. LOL.

Cincinnati has been spoiled, and sticker shock is about to set in when prices even out. $20 street walkers will always be available. However, what you won't see much anymore are the $150 cute collegiate co-ed looking for weekend play money. Word of mouth about sites like Tryst and Seeking have shown them a price rate well above the $150 we've come to expect.

So, in the future, I predict more mongers will need to decide, play more for less quality vs. Play less with higher quality. That or get another source of income to bridge the gap.

Trump did NOT close travel from China. If you stop watching fox you will find out that close to 45,000 people have been flown in from China since his so-called ban.

[QUOTE]Still didn't see a named flip flop there.

If Obama was giving multihour conferences everyday and spending the majority of time on coronavirus the media would be fawning all over him.

The point of the mitigation was to prevent the overwhelming of our health care system, not to stop cases or deaths. The point was to flatten out the curve, but that doesn't necessarily stop the number of overall cases under the curve, an impossible task and goal anyway.

Our governors have taken their mandate and gone overboard with it. They have lost sight of the true goal and become absolute authoritarians. This still is supposed to be the United States where we have a right to freedom and privacy. We have to manage our own risks. Why does Kroger's and Walgreens get to be open but the guy running his own business has to go broke? Aren't the inside of the stores essentially the same environment with the same risk? [/QUOTE]Here you go. Wave it while you get out there and thin the herd.

[QUOTE=JustACustomer;4754702]More people have died from car accidents or slip and falls, heck, from being shot, than from the Corona virus. Do you think we should stop driving? I would link data for you, but I am sure there are others who will do it faster. Wrecked economy from this forced altruism and can't even get routine healthcare right now. Seriously.[/QUOTE]Here's some of that darwinism for you.

More Covid deaths (46,000) than last year's auto deaths (38,000).

Those individuals were exempt from the restrictions because they were either American citizens, USA Passport or green cardholders. Non-citizen relatives were also permitted to enter the USA, an exemption made by the president to prevent the separation of families. You act like they just let anyone in. If they banned those people from returning home the Liberals would go ape shit. Nothing is perfect and the ban saved lives. If they didn't do the ban he'd be called an agent of China.
