    I thought Kep was saying that the reason TO open golf courses would be to provide jobs for the maintenance workers. He cares more about their jobs than the golfers’ recreation.
    If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

      Why make them leave their homes and go to work?

      F-ck golf. The idea that anybody's thoughts turn that way at all in this situation is a sick joke. Sit at home and f-cking read a book.

        No. I was saying we should cut the workers a check to stay home, so they don't get dragged from their houses because some twit wants to run up snowmen rather than talk to his kids. Although the kids would be better off.

            That's how he got into Duke. I wondered.

              One of the reasons I chose not to go to Michigan was the mere suggestion that I would've had a leg up because my dad went there.

                    For generations now the right has believed only pansies read books. The anti-intellectualism that has infected and spread throughout this country since the 1980s is what has destroyed us. The cartoon meme that I have seen recently where the jet airliner passenger says the passengers need to take over flying the plane because those fancy pilots have lost touch with regular people is far more true than a joke.

                    Among the union members that I represent now, my education, both formal and informal, is not seen as an asset (as it was when I worked in Ohio with members who were generally as or more educated than I am) but instead is seen as at best a weakness and at worse probably even an indication that I am a wimp. It's almost as if I showed up at union meetings with my firearm strapped to my side maybe they'd trust me more than if I come armed with my knowledge of current labor laws and economic trends.

                      Anti-intellectualism isn't new. It was just elected President in 1980 and since then the official motto of the GOP has been "You thank yer better'n me?"

                        Go back down into your spider hole, Kep. We'll call you when it's safe.

                        Maybe.
                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            No, it's not new, but it is killing innocent people faster right now than it did 10 years ago, or 30 years ago, or 50 years ago. By the end of the 4th year of his first term, the anti-intellectualism that trump relies on will have literally killed tens of thousands of people from the coronavirus and its related diseases who would not have died had we had a reasonable respect for knowledge and data in this country. He is committing mass murder and nearly half the country is now too dumb to see it.

                                I really don't have a problem with people working to maintain the golf course, but I think it would be dumb to open it up to the public.

                                I've been working from home for almost a month now. I'm pretty sure the people that do the landscaping are still going in every day.
