I agree — the world in the 70’s-90’s was much less complicated— even the early 2000’s cant compare to the shitshow that is now — I never worked around zombies or people with walking pneumonia- just people with the seasonal cold or flu — but we had high vitamin D and good immune systems - I guess. Probably due to constant exposure to various pathogens— ate very little “fast” foods and were not “morbidly obese” I’m not trying to disagree with you but I can’t remember ever getting sick from a coworker with a cold/ virus I did however get pertussis from Mexican nationals in my 50’s —but that is an old known bacteria- Do you know all the old (1940-60’s) baby books recommend 2-3 hours a day of sunshine and fresh air? This stopped with the freak out of skin cancer and UV protection in the 80’s — I’m old, have skin damage like all my forefathers who worked outside and didn’t die of that .. please people look at your heritage and realize just how tough you are thanks to them— I’m done..
Well maybe but unless we had a high fever or rash in the 50’s/60’s USA we went to school ( and mom was home so there wasn’t a daycare issue). I started working in the early 70’s and unless you were bedridden you went to work— we actually had good immune systems back then and a work ethic and we are pretty much still here— I haven’t been ill with even a sniffle in 6-8 years and I go to retail/grocery outlets etc and rarely wash my hands unless I’m washing dishes— I am confident knowing my ancestors survived the Black Plague and I survived Measles/Mumps and Rubella and Chicken Pox without any vaccines— I also survived Pertussis ( whooping cough) as a 50 something— vaccines don’t last forever— when exposed from culturally diverse populations from south of the border ( coworkers) — getting sick isn’t always a bad thing— builds immunity and naturally alters your DNA without manipulation by people wanting to cash in..
I’m in south Texas- maybe I’ll go outside later Btw - I had 2 1/2 minutes of totality during eclipse- and nobody came - although DPS and all law enforcement was expecting a crowd— several school districts suspended classes expecting huge influx of viewers— All a big anticlimax 😂
Me too so I rewrote my life ( again— fourth maybe fifth editing) . I’m lucky to be retired before death and am pouring myself into my little acre of land - dirt smells good - butterflies and songbirds and wildflowers are awesome. Pulling weeds and moving rocks are good for the soul — this adrenaline helps— at least physical activity and lots of sunshine makes you sleep well
Maybe I’ll have to resort to fox squirrels and whitetail that live in my yard— lived solely on mule deer/ pronghorn and javelina in the 70’s — you never know how great hamburger and chicken taste until you don’t have it for years!
I agree — I had an encounter with FBI way back in the mid 70’s- I had overheard a conversation from the booth behind my husband and I regarding robbing a bank/ with ski masks etc — only reason I noticed them at all was they ( all men) were harassing the young waitress including running their thumbs up her leg and more— she was polite but it caught my attention and I listened to their conversation— the next day a metro bank was robbed and I mentioned it to my husband who hadn’t paid any attention to their dialogue and he called local LEO’s that were friends of his — that evening 2 FBI agents knocked on our door — showed their badges as they introduced themselves ( 1 male/1 female) and we sat and discussed what I’d heard— they were well dressed and very professional— I realize times have changed but those guys definitely don’t look FBI legit unless the local agents have gone to crap along with the DC crew— she did exceptionally well —
Geez- who’d have thought that an entire television network dedicated to young boys and girls in silly( sexual and weird scenarios) wouldn’t attract the pedos as producers and other staff — just like summer camps/ scouts organizations/ elementary school doesn’t attract these predators-
Me thinks he’d be much happier in Canada or UK or perhaps Australia— this isn’t the country to fulfill his/her needs— then report back after YEARS in said countries - How DO YOU LIKE ME NOW! cringe— I’m sorry you feel so hopeless and victimized by your birth into your generation but you know every human in earth was an accident of birth and most dealt with the cards dealt or they perished— like l told my kids “life’s a bitch and then you die” that doesn’t mean find enjoyment in everyday - I just means life is difficult and you need to deal with it and still be happy and enjoy as many moments as possible— animals do — be like a cardinal or a coyote
I don’t have a dog in this fight either but the last 3-4 Tyson chicken products I’ve purchased in the last 2-3 years have definitely degraded— the Cornish game hens looked like someone killed them by smashing them with a boot — contusions and every wing and leg broken — ended up throwing them away after cooking cause they looked awful ( I was a taxidermist and hunted ducks/deer/ quail etc and never saw such trauma to meat in my life — one turkey same thing— also lots of pin feathers left on wings and flanks) methinks their slaughter house has changed protocols— who knows but I never purchase their poultry anymore
Amen!
