"Get on with our lives" could mean any number of things. I got the vaccine, and got on with my life. Now the only way COVID impacts me is that I occasionally have to wear a mask, which I don't mind at all.
Bagdad GMAC's timeline:
Aug 2021: Afghanistan debacle isn't real!
Oct 2021: Inflation isn't real!
Jan 2022: Restrictions aren't real!
Uh, what? All of those things are real. I'm not some delusional conservative who just lives in his own reality where Trump is secretly still president.
The issue at hand is whether any of them are as bad as people make them out to be. On the issue of Afghanistan I think the answer has clearly been a resounding NO -- we were promised there would be thousands of Americans and SIVs abandoned to be kidnapped or murdered by the Taliban and that absolutely did not happen. In retrospect we accomplished all our goals in the Afghanistan withdrawal under incredibly difficult circumstances with minimal negative repercussions except for some really bad PR for the administration based entirely on false information and speculation that turned out to be malarkey.
Inflation is a global phenomenon caused by a variety of factors and I have full confidence in the Biden administration to bring it down, at which point you will stop pretending to care about it, just like you guys stopped pretending to care about jobs after Biden absolutely annihilated Trump's jobs numbers.
Restrictions are the focus of this thread. But instead of actually addressing what I wrote in a mature fashion you decided to just engage with me via a cheap drive-by strawman. What a great poster you are.
