Sounds to me like this pandemic is finally reaching a crash course with no escape. I think people are so stressed out they're just losing their shit. Hell I went over a year without a vacation and had it not been for the broken rib I'm not sure how much longer I would've been able to go before I snapped. I struggle just with what I do. this rib thing is frustrating for sure but at least i felt at peace when i returned.

Over here, no matter how bad the economy is, and no matter how high unemployment is, you always see notices "Taxi Drivers wanted"

It's not a job I fancy.

Caution, I am feral.

I would never fancy being a taxi driver either. I am used to working with people but late at night?

When I lived in London there was a local taxi company that only had lady drivers and only took lady passengers. (or mums with kids) At the time I wouldnt have minded working for them but these days the women are as bad as the lads after a night out!

The ones here drive 12 hr shifts. That would suck.

In my last job there was an ever increasing amout of driving. That's one of the main reasons I left. When I first started I maybe did 30 miles a month at most. When I left it was often several hundred a week.

I used to enjoy driving too but with the busy roads now as well most of the pleasure has gone.

I know, all of it is so terrible. The reporter near the end was happy the balloons were no longer around to harm wildlife there, but obviously the wildlife wherever they end up will be affected!

I spoke with my mum about all of this anti-vaxx stuff and she told me this idea isn't new and there were people that were against vaccination even back in the 80s. I don't know if this is a fact, but I do wonder whatever happened to those people? I mean I'm genuinely interested. Has there been any research done on this topic? I don't even know what to search for in google scholar. I'm a pro-vaxxer and I'm glad both of my parents have now had both doses of COVID19 vaccine and I'm on the waiting list to get mine, but I'm trying to understand the other side of it, minus all the conspiracy theories.

What happened to those people is that the internet came along to help them spread their anti-vaccination conspiracy theories... so now more and more people are joining the club. I read recently that in the US at least that the vaccination numbers have dropped into the 70 percentile when the goal is to be at least 90%. Now we are more likely to see diseases return. That's WTF indeed lol

Ughhh where have I read that some disease is returning, was it measles? I have found this article and it seems very interesting.

edition.cnn.com/2019/04/24/health/measles-outbreak-record-us-bn/index.html

I'm very torn when it comes to this topic, on one side I agree that people should have a choice, but on the other side, by choosing not to get vaccine even if you're a healthy individual, you're kind of putting society at risk and that's a shitty thing to do imo.

"Where's the beef?" Even they couldn't resist the pun! ::s0238::

It surprises me that this is in Germany... But I guess the more people you have, the weirder the stuff that starts happening. But there are... interesting individuals everywhere.

I guess that rules all of the vegans out then? Unless they wanted to divert attention. Hmmmm...

We call them tossers in teslas.
The idiots that speed around town in their electric vehicles.
These cars are not an answer to the world's pollution problems they are a rich man's toy. We mustn't ask how the lithium for the batteries is acquired we mustnt ask how the electricity to power them is generated,, non-polluting what a joke..
The hatred for the smug electric vehicle drivers is growing and not just in Germany.
