What direction is the dog facing???

Just to be fair. Many homes are modified aka flipped. Not saying they do a great job….

That’s the thing about the disease … it’s binary. It either exists or doesn’t. If you cure all the cases, there is nowhere to catch it. If you leave a small population with it, then there’s always the chance it comes back. My dad was vaxed for smallpox, but I am not…

Say what you will. He’s out there curing a terrible disease. I could not give a shit if it’s ego driven or not.

How could they not? Do boomers not die anymore?

Totally. No animosity here. Never considered occupying an office.

Just wondering if you’ve ever participated in a protest or this is just an academic exercise. In my experience well behaved protests are basically ineffective. It’s true that you can actually end up vilifying the cause in the eyes of people that you’ve inconvenienced.

But that creates social pressure on our leaders to address the problem. Either by compromise with the protests demands or clearing them out by force.

I get that it may block the direct path of an ambulance potentially. But most gps algorithms when they see a ton of stationary phones in the street interpret that as traffic and try to route around it.

At the end of the day, yes there is the small potential for harm to a few individuals, but (hopefully) the benefits to a larger group offset that.

I went to UT and there were protests in the street all the time. It always inconvenienced me and I actually came to blows with a few of the protesters, but they should know that’s a possibility going into it. There’s really no right or wrong here. There’s only large organized group against a few impacted drivers.

Isn’t the inconvenience literally the point though?
