Maintenance employees don't need to come within 50 yards of another human.
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.

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.

I hate the guy, but Rand Paul is an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist, meaning he is an M.D. and both finished medical school and did a three year residency.

He was, however, a legacy admit to the Duke Med School, and dropped out of Baylor without finishing his undergraduate degree to enroll there. Duke didn't require a BS at the time.

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.

First generation college kids don't have this problem. :)

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.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

You guys are completely misunderstanding my point.

At some point, things are going to open up. So keep it to smaller crowds, as sort of a test run. If nothing really happens, then expand it a little. If something does happen, then back to the shutdown.

It's not difficult to understand.

We understand. We think you are wrong as does every expert. The one not understanding is you.

What we are doing is working. There is zero reason to deviate from this any time soon.

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.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

If pro shops and restaurants are closed I dont much have an opinion on golf courses either way. As long as they give the workers and players all the proper methods to clean and social distance I dont think it is that big of a deal. I dont play golf though so if they dont open it up that is fine by me as well.

Honestly I dont know why people are getting so stir crazy anyways. Its friggin April half the time the weather sucks anyways. I get some people are going through sports withdrawal but I love it! I am saving money, gas and I have plenty of time to work on projects and get caught up on things...I mean I often forget what day it is but beyond that no big deal.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

I need help to go to the grocery store; even Aldi is a bit too much for me to handle right now. When I go to the store with my stepfather, he treats social distancing as some kind of joke with other customers, having conversations with them and with grocery store employees.

Good thing I'll be out of here within a week or two.
