Title: State of the Union
Post by: FLS on June 02, 2020, 05:37:27 PM

So far this year we've had pandemic disease, government over-reach violating constitutional rights, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and violent civil disorder. It's only June.  :devil

But the historic news is a private company put two men in space at a considerable cost savings vs NASA and the coolest part, in my opinion, is the reusable first stage landing on a drone ship in the ocean.  :aok

You forgot to add the miracle of all the protesters killing covid-19 over night and freeing the USA from lock down. That poor virus never stood a chance against all those concerned citizens and their flames of freedom. Heck now we can have those long overdue block parties to toast some weenies and drink a bunch of brewskies doing it.

Hollywood can't beat real life for a script like this.

I didn't forget, I chose to ignore irrelevant details. I was contrasting the spate of ordinary disasters with the major historic milestone.

If there isn't a Covid-19 flare up by 3 weeks from now, then I think I might actually see football games in stadiums this year after all.  But if there is, this season is toast.

The so called pandemic has been no worse than usual for a virus.


Well done on real news. Two men is space on a new vehicle.

Bustr is 100% correct .. you are overlooking the medical miracle that burning a sporting goods store down and stealing $200 tennis shoes killed the deadly global bat blood virus overnight!!!

We didnt need to shut business down and lose 41 million jobs, we just had to have a few more 75" tvs looted a few months back and we would have been saved...

Well, either the plague is toast, or the protesters will be sick soon. Somehow I don't think the virus is all that impressed with riots.
