Hank Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Fort Campbell has deployed soldiers (mostly medical personnel I assume) to New York to assist with the caronavirus crisis. I believe NYC specifically, but I'm not positive. If anyone has the furtune(or misfortune?) Of working with these people please share your thoughts/feelings/experience. I spent twelve years there and stayed close by after retirement, I'm very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not agnostic regarding their use. That approach applies to any tool or implement I can think of. I'm afraid that school administrators stopped their thinking after your first question. Or, they thought past it and realized that not all students are able to go to a separate room in a big ole five bedroom house for their classes. They might be stuck at a kitchen table with two other siblings in a one room apartment with two parents that are stuck at home all in the same room and that that would be far less productive. Not saying they did, but not all administrators are idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they did, but not all administrators are idiots. I don't believe the children's home/learning environment was the concern, nor we're the measures implemented to address it. I think the fear was little Sally mistakenly seeing little Joey's dad with his junk out. At least, that was my take away from Neo's post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like zooming out and looking at the tiny red dots in certain spots, like the one in the middle Greenland. Then there's one well off the eastern coast of Africa in line with Tanzania and Kenya. I had no idea there was anything out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they did, but not all administrators are idiots. I get what you’re saying, but I am far less likely to stop “nearly all” because of “not all”. One room and five bedrooms are different ends of a continuum. America lives in the middle. You can see something bad at McDonalds. This is a debate between common sense and “I can imagine something going wrong”. The ability to imagine something going wrong is limitless and the instinct to organize 300 million people to avoid it is ... up to each of you.

Zamboni Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 The guy at Wegmans a couple days ago who did something similar. Got arrested too. Just low IQ idiots. Or a mental defect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 And now Wegmans and Tops will be installing some sort of plexiglass shield at the checkout counters to keep the cashiers away from the customers. Had we been able to assume people would think about the well being of the people around them, they likely could've forgone this effort & expense.
