When I imagine people typing away about corporate profits killing off mom and pop shops while filling up at the Shell station and getting a carton of Marlboro reds it gives me a chuckle....people have such selective outrage....Applebee's ...bad.....Budweiser beer a necessary evil !

How do you expect mom and pop to get to work without gas? I’m not a defender of big oil or other monopolies’ strangleholds but we’re all bullied into a system where we have to support industries we’d ideally rather not from time to time to survive. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to call that out or talk shit about those companies, they are doing just fine. We’re all trying to get by in a system that wasn’t designed for us to thrive in.

And beer IS a necessary evil, solid point there.

Fox and other right wing media are having major freakout over Heineken commercial showing old folks dancing and drinking beer, having fun again because they got vaccinated. Oh the horror!

Hey, I went to a movie for the first time in over a year.

Lucia got upset. She isn't used to me being out in the evening.

We must sacrifice our lives to covid to defeat Applebee's! Only thus can we be truly free!

I couldn't stand Applebee's. Didn't like their food, didn't like their loud music. It's a teenager's dream come true.

Budweiser got bought out years ago and their recipe changed. They now use some cheaper ingredients. Also, no more excellent Busch beer. I was once addicted to Bud but they cured me of that. Also, no more beer gardens nor hospitality rooms nor Clydesdales.

I never eat fast food.

A lot of Bend locals were pretty upset when 10 Barrel so-called "sold out" to Anheuser Busch a number of years ago (for nearly $20M !!). They were somewhat pacified, though, finding out that the brewery's brick n' mortar location would remain in town. But, only for a couple of more years??

It's a fun place! Been there many times. Not quite like the firepits @ McMenamins, but fun nonetheless.

I don't read anything about Budweiser being bought out, though...

This is such a stupid post.

Mom and Pops don't sell Budweiser or other name brands in their stores?

The chickens are coming home to roost. All these lockdown politicians are realizing they are going bye bye if they don’t give people their lives back. I personally think it’s too little too late. I see people like Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau currently serving their last terms. Along with many governors in the States.

Once you get enough people vaccinated the problem goes away. Most problems in the US are in counties with vaccination rates lower than 40%...

Newsmax is saying don't get vaccine because it's against nature. That's the point. It is natural to get smallpox, measles, diphtheria, polio. Vaccines are unnatural. So are electric lights. Corrective lenses. Central heating.

Funny how those who talk about wiping out people never include themselves.

 

[jonnyboy]

I’m mean he’s right if you’re looking at it through the lens of the “natural world” and natural selection. Obviously humans have progressed beyond that though in many ways. And then there’s the fact that this virus is most likely not even naturally occurring, but man made, which adds a whole other layer to it.

 

[crandc]

Evidence for that "most likely" is what exactly?

 

[jonnyboy]

Evidence for that "most likely" is what exactly?

Well for starters, the fact that nearly every scientist, biologist and virologist, including Lord and Savior Dr. Fauci, now saying the virus has characteristics that most likely couldn’t have materialized in nature, and are leaning toward the conclusion that it was indeed man-made in a laboratory. There’s that. Or the fact that it originated a couple blocks away from one of the only virology labs in the world that performed gain of function research specializing in coronaviruses. But I mean that’s probably just a coincidence too.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Don’t worry! It’s rare.

Not to mention automobiles, ambulances, roads, buses, text books, poetry, speech, airplanes, most food which has been cross bred, opera, ballet, symphonies, school, etc. etc. etc.
She, on the other hand, was not cross bred but rather was inbred.

That's not evidence. That is you making some claims. Would you please link to the video of Fauci saying covid-19 most likely couldn't have materialized in nature?

I'd like to see a link to a credible source backing this up.

 

[crandc]

Where did Dr. Fauci, who is a very capable scientist but not lord and savior, say that?

I am an atheist. I have no Lord or savior.
