    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.

    Have the welfare hating repubs chimed in on vaccine incentives yet? Why are we offering foreigners who can travel vaccines when our neighbors north and south of our border need them?

    NYC is also offering the shot to travelers from abroad.
    The city is paying for baseball tickets?  That's gotta be brought up by Tucker, right? If that's not socialism, I don't know what is.
    The city is paying for ball tix and for travelers to come and get vaxed.  It's a huge promotion here in NY.
    So if I fly to New York I can get my 2nd Pfizer shot?  I want the Canada 🇨🇦/ US border open so I can just drive to zmichigan to get my 2nd shot…I want a 2 dose summer…

    Get a shot, get a ticket!

    ohio. 5 seperate draws for a million each for adults vaxxed by drawing time. 12 and up? 5 full ride scholarships to the in state school of choice(provided admission requirements are met)
    Good ideas.  I see more of this happening to get people vaxed.  I'm holding out for the Hawaii trip.

    I believe we can see by date our totals. Hope so anyway. Interested to see the number of those vaxxed with at least one shot between now and final drawings.

    proof of vaccination is required for a variety of diseases the world over. given the limited or no travel most americans engage in it makes sense they would be too fucking ignorant to know this.
    Traveling abroad is very expensive. Why does this make them ignorant? Just seems harsh to criticize someone so much and call them ignorant for not engaging in a luxury that most can't afford.  Traveling abroad in Europe is very different and much cheaper than what it costs Americans. 

    ignorant means lacking knowledge. its  not a pejorative.


    Merriam-Webster's definition of "ignorant":  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ignorant

    It has a negative connotation, and you know it does. You were insulting Americans for not being more traveled.
    I inferred he was insulting Americans for not being more educated about the rest of the world. 

    And he's right. Americans are incredibly ignorant. 
    Americans are ignorant in a lot of ways, that is true. But don't criticize someone because they are poor.
    "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. 
    It's ok to admit Americans are too fucking ignorant about the rest of the world. It's also no surprise considering how ignorant we are about our own country's history. 

    No one's criticizing poor people.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    I have a feeling I started this.
    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.

    Agreed. We went from a headline of not wearing masks outdoors to indoors in what like a week? Huge jump and glad they are doing it.

    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.  

    Will be interested to see if Biden will go around without one now.  I mean, he shouldn't....  Right?!

    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!

    Assuming this is the end, it's been real, and it's been fun, it just hasn't been real fun...  Stay safe all and may God bless each of you!

    The city is paying for baseball tickets?  That's gotta be brought up by Tucker, right? If that's not socialism, I don't know what is.
    The city is paying for ball tix and for travelers to come and get vaxed.  It's a huge promotion here in NY.
    So if I fly to New York I can get my 2nd Pfizer shot?  I want the Canada 🇨🇦/ US border open so I can just drive to zmichigan to get my 2nd shot…I want a 2 dose summer…
    No they are only giving out the J&J one under these conditions.  You'd have to find a place to get your 2nd shot.

    It is an option though.

    proof of vaccination is required for a variety of diseases the world over. given the limited or no travel most americans engage in it makes sense they would be too fucking ignorant to know this.
    Traveling abroad is very expensive. Why does this make them ignorant? Just seems harsh to criticize someone so much and call them ignorant for not engaging in a luxury that most can't afford.  Traveling abroad in Europe is very different and much cheaper than what it costs Americans. 

    ignorant means lacking knowledge. its  not a pejorative.


    Merriam-Webster's definition of "ignorant":  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ignorant

    It has a negative connotation, and you know it does. You were insulting Americans for not being more traveled.
    I inferred he was insulting Americans for not being more educated about the rest of the world. 

    And he's right. Americans are incredibly ignorant. 
    Americans are ignorant in a lot of ways, that is true. But don't criticize someone because they are poor.
    "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. 
    It's ok to admit Americans are too fucking ignorant about the rest of the world. It's also no surprise considering how ignorant we are about our own country's history. 

    No one's criticizing poor people.
    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.
    You're doing a great job acknowledging how ignorant Americans are while simultaneously being upset about someone pointing out how ignorant Americans are. 
    I believe he is describing arrogance?
