Very wise observation Tom. I'm going to run with this advice and be prepared!

Listening to this broadcast reminded me of something you said years ago.
Getting rich is NOT SEXY.
We are not out of the woods yet because of these hillbillies.
We will have the last laugh.

Thank-you Tom for the sage advice. Some of us have not strayed too far from the previous lockdown protocols or at least have been a bit cautious by slowly resuming (the new) normal activity. So going back to a more conservative way of living is not too far a stretch. Just like you & most of your listeners, we did all the "right" things during the previous 18 months of this Great Pandemic.

The problem are the Covidiots -- they are the ones I don't trust. Yes, we do our part in wearing masks to protect the general populace but my masking is to protect myself because I don't trust the strangers next to me. Westerners, especially Americans have a way of disengaging from the truth. They make up stories in their pea brain & try to BS their way out of situations. Unfortunately for them, Covid doesn't care.

For whatever reason they make up, their excuses to not become vaccinated holds no water when they are on the ventilator. What is more unfortunate are those cannot be vaccinate due to underlying medical conditions or are under the age of 12 -- these folk are susceptible to becoming infected due to their negligence. Will the 'new normal' include passing specific laws for negligent homicide or assault from spreading Covid & its variants?

But I digress. lol
In these unprecedented troubling times, Tom give great advice. For those listeners that might have been panicking due to the uncertain future, the professor provides a methodically path to not only surviving but coming out ahead of the pack. Following all or at least most of the steps outlined in the podcast will allow us to be in good shape as compared to those that are reactionary & not measured in their behavior.

No need to panic.

My savings are ready. Investments adjusted. Everything Tom taught us over the years is life saving. "I'm trying to save your fucking lives!!!" You have saved many Tom. Thank you. Debt free for years now, happily single, no kids.

It will be interesting to come back and read this message board in the future. For the record: millions of dipshits still refuse to wear a simple goddamn mask. We had highly effective vaccines by the end of 2020, but millions refused that too. As of August 2021, the once highly effective vaccines probably no longer work against a mutated virus. Agencies are throwing away millions of doses. This next round of the SHTF is YOUR FAULT anti-vaxers & anti-maskers. FUCK YOU! A virus has outsmarted the human species. And STILL!!!!! ignorant wackos continue to do the wrong thing. I overheard a twenty something worker at Publix this weekend voluntarily and proudly state to a coworker he wasn't vaccinated, won't get it, and complained he will be required to wear masks again. Floriduh has been a major COVID hot spot again for many weeks now.

Now you know where the Duh in Floriduh comes from. Madness.

As of 8/2/2021 Floriduh headlines read like this:
"Florida is now the national epicenter for the virus, accounting for about 20% of new cases."
"‘This is horrifying’: Broward and Dade lead nation in COVID hospitalizations Broward mayor highlights rising infections — including among children"

"If I get Corona, I get Corona" - Brady McCuntnugget Fuck all you parents!!!, and all your goddamn brat kids. We could be over this virus by now. But humans are at peak narcissism, peak ignorance, and peak denial. Sigh. Oh well.

Don't forget to laugh, no matter what happens. I believe a sense of humor, equanimity, stoicism, and hardcore ingenuity will be needed to get thru this mess.

Glad you said what needed to be said! I'm enjoying watching these self-righteous Dunning-Kruger poster children have their willful ignorance and arrogance finally bite them in the ass.

The covid vaccine is known as a leaky vaccine not a perfect vaccine like the measles vaccine. Leaky vaccine means even if you are fully vaccinated, there is a chance you can still catch covid and you can still pass it on to others. Yes, you can still end up in ICU if you are not careful.

There has never developed a coronavirus vaccine because coronavirus mutate easily. This covid19 is no exception. This covid19 will be with us for all eternity.

The surgical masks do not protect you nor does it prevent spread of covid19 because the covid particle is small enough to pass through the mask mesh. You need to wear a property industrial/military grade mask if you want real protection.

Stay safe all.
