Part 3 – Death

The further we go into this entire thing, the more complex things get. My goal in this post was to discuss the economic impact that social distancing has had on the American economy. To do this we need to discuss more on the rationale behind closing business and preventing gatherings, and to get to this we need to look at the most recent data regarding how deadly this virus is,…

Part 2 – Social Distancing

We’ve determined that the infection rate and mortality rate for Cov2 is higher than the flu, and it’s a virus that should be taken seriously. If on average on infected person infects 2 other people over the course of 2 days, then by simply math you could reasonably predict that in nearly 60 days the virus would be infecting people by the hundreds of thousands daily.…

We live in a country that documents and tracks data and allows it to be made available to the public. The cdc will literally compile their…

Some people would say we need to talk about politics less. Some say more.

I say neither. I used to think we need to talk about these things more. But I keep finding that the more you talk about political things,…

4 Reasons the "Oppression Narrative" doesn't work

4 Reasons the “Oppression Narrative” doesn’t work

It’s illogical

It’s insulting to successful people

It simplifies history in a dishonest and disingenuous way

It gives the “oppressors” all the power

The idea that certain people have been oppressed and then using that as a reason as to why you personally can’t get ahead in life, because your people group is or was oppressed, it just doesn’t work.

Here’s why:
