did i miss something colloquial?

Sigh. When I said no which no matter what it cannot be changed, it means that there is no reason it should be so. Things can be changed
 
Excuse me I haven’t read any posts in this thread. I talked to my friend and tech today in NYC...I could hear it in his voice...shitting his pants.
Right now I’m finally listening to my system after 2 months of good and bad...uncorked a bottle of Amarone from my cellar and said f’k it....Allman Bros Eat a Peach....loud.
I think God is pissed....3 years of bullshit and hate......he has a way of separating the wheat from the chaff.
Man’s 100 years of modernism finally met it’s match. For every action there’s a reaction.
Thank God there’s music and great wine to bring people together and reflect deeply on our lives and our future paths. Do you think I’ve had too much wine?.....be safe and stay healthy....wouldn’t want to loose anybody on WBF.

Good choice ofwine
Enjoy

I certainly hope that this time the US replenishes its Strategic National Stockpile and becomes more self-reliant for drugs and medicines.
And listen to its own
agencies and scientists ;)

After all the selfish chaos of the very first wave of change a new natural public order and calm are seeming to emerge here.

Panic buying is currently seeming to fall away, new systems of working and living are coming forwards. There has been a marvellous acceptance of the need to respond positively to this emergency where we are.

Good values are more in evidence than ever and childlike selfishness is starting to fall away.

I believe the greater is coming and the lesser is falling away.

Good humour and concern are the elements winning over the panicked selfish displays often typified in the very first weeks of our current new reality.

Health services are continuing to amaze, I hope we don’t exhaust them.

I hope that you are finding this also in your part of the world. Peace out to all the brotherhood. If we keep this up we may yet be a species deserving of salvation.

Interestingly, I was in the UK at the end of Jan and bought lots of PPE. Nobody was competing for it then.

I walked past a chemist today that had that rarest of creatures in this country, face masks. But at 3 times the usual price.

In balance to my previous post there are some still playing at competitive advantage.

Perhaps who exactly in the supply chain was doing the gouging is not so easy to establish but as the chain catches up these things will all right themselves. Those short sighted ones found to have taken advantage of this emergency will certainly always be remembered.

I a sure the purchaser from hospitals
and governments all over the world will remember the already paid shipments that suddenly got diverted
or disappeared so someone could
make extra money. These people
are going to be out of business in
the long run.

People under extraordinary circumstances tend to reveal their true colours... we can be amazing and rich or just sad and grey.

It’s a mad, mad world out there but that is a good time to discover who we all truly are.

A society that finds its true worth really doesn’t need moderation. Policing is just a sign of things yet to be repaired. Policing doesn’t repair, it holds things in obeyance. Education and awareness heals and repairs.

Now is the best time to learn. Learning always eventually teaches us who we are.

The US needs to stop relying on China for anything important. Hopefully this event they created is enough to open some eyes but I have my doubts.

You think 3M is going out of business because of their greed? Highly doubt it.

Let’s not forget that “ China” is also American and European multinational
companies that have set up shop there to save on labor cost and paying taxes.

Of course, they should be penalized for doing so. That’s a different situation though. Relying on a Chinese company for medicine is incredibly irresponsible.

I think that the middle men driving this price increase will be treated like the
scum they are yes ! And i f respect the measures set in place nationally in the US to stop price gouging on these vital products !

Virtually every generic drug is made in China. Those that aren’t typically come from Israel (TEVA)
