Predict the Post COVID-19 World

[jono]

Uncommon cold takes over for the common cold.

SJW opinion swings hard against freedom shaming as Americans come to appreciate the value of diverse diversions and decide to start letting other people make their own decisions. Pot smokers, skate boarders and nudists hail decriminalization as "live and let live" becomes a national motto.




Just kidding. The common cold will hide out and return. American brains will use this time to retrace their moral heuristic pathways and convince themselves with renewed vigor that all who are different are wrong. Xenophobics and morality legislators rejoice.

On a personal level, I'm going to make a significant career change in the months/year after this pans out. The time I've had during the stay-at-home order made me realize how miserable and stressed my job makes me.

Good for you. I did a major career change 36 years ago. Best decision (besides asking my wife to marry me) I ever made. I hope yours works out as well.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Back in 2003 my then girlfriend (now ex-wife) got into grad school at UCSB and Yale (which both have top notch enviro science programs). Move to Santa Barbara? I'm down. New Haven? Well, good luck to you, it's been fun. ;-)

Not surprised to hear it's changed a lot since then.

Ex girlfriend wanted me to choose between moving to Montana and breakup or move to Queens to live with her.......lol what?

I hope you got some decent breakup sex.

You guys are so off track and there is already an Ogdens thread. Back to the topic at hand. What's the new normal once this shit is over?

continued delay in new household formation, short term consumption shift towards boomers/earlerXers because Z/Y have no money or jobs, similar politically angry 50+ dudes.

maybe: the final crash of some boomer driven consumption trends (guitars, boats, etc)

Everyone will be required to have a cell phone so there movements can be traced, for the common good, of course.

OK, but I will continue to leave it at home.

That’s a bit drastic.

I’m just going to put it in my Faraday pouch

It's a man purse.

Karen will turn you in for not carrying.

[Core Shot]

It's a man purse.

Well yes. But once you wrap it in metal mesh it becomes a medieval man pouch.

Chain mail for your ball bag? Damn, maybe we do need to get people back to work.

My biggest fear in all this is the overreach. It's scary it almost seems planned. I don't buy conspiracy stuff, but man if this isn't the way to make huge changes to our freedoms.

I was thinking something like that. Will the frivolous things be forgotten or at least not have this crazy collectible value anymore? Will it bring that Series II FHC E Type within reach of a normal guy like me...

HOW WILL SINGLE PEOPLE EVER HAVE SEX AGAIN!!???

Seriously, the struggle is real. The pussy is on lockdown and it is gonna take hella salesmanship to get it unlocked.

It's still a purse, no matter how you try to sell it.

Tell whoever was insinuating it was 10 Ogdens.

I was through there in like 2003ish and 2012.

Sounds like New Haven has moved similarly to Ogden Utah in reducing its Ogden rating from around 3ish to near zero. Congratulations to them both.

I was in New Haven in 1980 and it was guns and crack and fucking scary.

Times change.

It doesn't look great from the highway is all I know.

The post covid-19 world?
I think the pandemic will accelerate all the really fucked up stuff: more concentration of wealth, less financial throughput via small business, less travel in general due to an ever shrinking middle class.

In the long run, it will likely shorten the interval before the impending uprising of the have nots. Eric Holder is right and the covids will only serve to accelerate the inevitable.

When she was "freezing" in Montana in September I knew she was never coming with me. Cut her loose and was back in MT within the month. Pretty sure no woman or any amount of money would ever be enough to live in Queens.

People will wear a placard on their chest describing their handshake.
Perhaps assigned to them by the person assigning their gps chip.


Dry, firm, yet not crushing.
Responsive to pressure and duration of the other.
