I'm optimistic that MB schools will reopen beginning of June. with the vaccinations being opened up to all adults, and 12 and over soon, and the current lockdown in place, should be good to go.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

Have the welfare hating repubs chimed in on vaccine incentives yet?

That's how I took it, the lack of traveling. If the criticism was our lack of knowledge in culture and not our ability to travel, then I was wrong and I would agree. And when we do travel, many expect every country to know our language and our customs. American's are probably embarrassing as tourists for the ones that do go. We can all agree on that.Merkin Baller said:

"given the limited or no travel most americans engage in it makes sense they would be too fucking ignorant"
That is criticizing people because they cant afford to travel to other counties. Say we should take more foreign language classes in school. Say we should be more cultured, I would agree. But to say given our limited travel we are "too fucking ignorant" that is criticizing people for not being able to afford a luxury that the average family can't afford. "Too fucking ignorant" is not just saying a lack of knowledge. IUts people people down. You know it. He knows it.

that's not unique to Americans. Parisians, I've heard from people I know (my wife included), can be incredible snobby about anyone who attempts French. Even Canadian Francophones are laughed at over there. And I've also been told Quebec City can be like that towards Anglos. Montreal is awesome, however.mace1229 said:

It was specifically what I took as what they/we being called ignorant over. To be fair it could have easily been clarifies and wasnt, so that furthered my interpretation. I already said I was probably wrong and mistook the intent of the post, so hopefully we can move on.Merkin Baller said:

I'll be more clear.....
I know plenty of people with lots of disposable income who, for whatever reason, only travel to the same place or places year after year.
I met someone the other day who has lived in Nebraska their whole life, almost 60 years and has never been to the Sand Hills. He travels to other cities and states on a regular basis but not his own state.
It was not meant to shame those less traveled. Or those who can't afford to travel.
More It was aimed at people not taking advantage while they can when they can.
That being said, get vaccinated and be able to prove it when asked. Simple.

To me, this signals the beginning of the end. Unvaxxed folks haven't been wearing masks anyways, so no change there. Sounds like we are getting to the point I would like to see. If you want to wear a mask, wear one. If not, don't.mickeyrat said:

Assuming the passports become a big nothing burger, looks like the end folks. And by passport, I meant traveling within the states. I understand each country requires different things and that's fine, but I shouldn't have to prove I am vaxxed to go to Kentucky when I live a stone's throw from the state line. Or I shouldn't have to provide one to board a plane when people have been boarding planes the whole pandemic!
