  1. Fear and Anxiety

    InTheLongRun replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    InTheLongRun replied to Mayday83's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know if it would do any good or not but you might contact the State Board of Health as another idea. Not even a little funny. Once infected they will suffer as much as anyone and likely...

    InTheLongRun replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Encouraging people not to vote because "they're all the same" is a classic strategy to reduce voter turnout of left leaning voters. I will be voting even if it means I have to crawl over glass and...

  16. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    InTheLongRun replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree with several of your points though some is equally unrealistic. I don't think non-union, non-magnet hospitals "speaking up" even as a group is realistic. I've seen an entire unit of highly...
