Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

No logins...I know, I know, our kids would get onto the wife and I for not being on those sites. The wife had a Facebook account once, due to her work but she deleted it years ago, too much to keep up with. We are pretty private people and the less we have to keep up with the better for us. My wife has not checked emails since she retired a few years ago. I am becoming less connected myself though I do still like to share, as ya'll know here. Being semi- retired I have less contact, not like when I was working fulltime.
Anyway, doubt we will sign up at our age, the time has passed for us, we are slowly unplugging from the Matrix
Huge Apologies are warranted for all the Brave people who were in the spotlight during the Plandemic but held their ground. Many went through hell with their careers. Novak Djokovic, tennis player, wow all that he had to go though...

I get it.
But at some point you're going to discover that like the horse and buggy, cars do have distinct advantages
More importantly though, I see quite clearly the separation of those who get their worldview strictly from the programmed MSM TV actors and scripted statements vs real time interaction with 1/2 to 1 Billion people.
Hell, even the President and 100% of our political class, Scientists, Finance, etc etc.. Even the President and MSM use the Interwebs as their primary source of news and communications..
People try to demean it and end up looking dumb.
Dumb is listening to scripted "news" and believing its not propaganda.
The divide between those who embrace online media (social or otherwise) as a means of being aware of the world and those who dont is getting much larger, and its become ridiculously easy to spot the difference.
You sound like my son...I get it.

He says that we, my wife and I, have Tapped Out, from this world, he watches alot of MMA. He has a son with a daughter on the way, so for him I get it, their futures look grim with all of this AI taking over. He shares alot of what you post.I know Social Media is the new newspapers sort of speak. Watched my father and grandfather grab the paper every morning to catch up on what is happening locally and around the world. I was really never like that majority of my life. Only in this last decade have my wife and I took notice. She always voted, I did not. But over this past decade my eyes got wide open, thanks to the Plandemic and overreach of our Gov't as with many other nations Gov'ts. The abuse of Politics. I now have huge mistrust for many things which I use to not give much thought to. Doctors, hospitals, medicine...to name a few...
I will use the Jab as an example, nothing a newspaper/social media could of said that changed our decision not to take the shot. Once we say the insane hype, push we knew something was fishy. We sat back and watched the insanity. My wife was still working at that time and was forced to work at home. My job (contracting) pretty much came to a halt, slowed down alot, we were not "Essential". At first we fell into the wipe everything down, hand sanitizer overuse, holding a wipe in your hand while pumping gas, having to wear mask that did nothing to stop the spread, trying to find toilet paper, the list goes on and on...Then finally, Ding, Ding, Ding went off in our heads...
This Thread started:
So I get it, it is important to be informed and I thank everyone here for their sharing...you guys are my newspaper
But I will say I am a very hard sell, every sales person that have come in contact with me finds this out real fast. I can say this, the majority of things I have heard in my life were either untrue or exaggerated, looking back...so my shields are up majority of the time. Alot of what I have seen posted on Social Media platforms has a lot of fluff/biased/opinions with some facts mixed in, today's MSM is all of that minus the facts.. Alot of clickbait out there, which I have naively fell for. So I try to take pretty much everything with a grain of salt until the salt becomes a mound...like the Plandemic...So maybe we are Tapped out, somewhat. If you go to an old folks home or 55 and older community, most people are not glued to their phones, most are not glued to news, most are just trying to enjoy life, their retirement. My wife and I worked real hard all our life, we are not in a retirement home, well maybe we are since my wife is retired and I am semi-retired, still working a few weekends out of a month. Haha, never really looked at it that way. We do get out, but not as much as a recreation bus at a retirement community. Faith and Family are our main priorities these days.
So we give the world back., we are pretty much done. We now stay away from the big cities as much as we can. We sit out on our back porch 10 times or more than we did in the city. This morning we just saw over a dozen deer, A whole family, even a very young buck with them. My wife was running from one window to the next trying to get pics...
The young ones are starting to get their horns now...
This is our medicine now and dinner, haha

Let's see if I can embed this satire/meme photo today.
Nope, but it would attach to a DM, so let's try attaching it.
Nope, would not attach, either.
Saved it as a JPG image, and that sort of worked.
Too much work, just for a laugh.
