I’ve also thought about the distribution of the shots and figured that conservatives were likely to be most “hesitant” (read “hells no”) on the shots. If the theory holds, we will rebuild better, and simpler. What I worry most about are the people who keep the lights on, the water running, and the trash collected.

Jo, I worry about the lights too. I've lived in a coal mining community and a gypsum mining community, and neither of them trusted freezers (they often had power outages that would last a week).

They trusted canning. When they got a deer in the fall, they would make canned deer stew with the wild mushrooms they'd collected from their favorite mushroom spots. They had root cellars too that they actually used.

Cool. Too bad our parents didn't learn from their parents. All these simple way of life aspects of life. We could have been taught and passed down to our children.

Yeah, everybody got too busy, too many hours at work.

My alma mater, Georgia Tech, gave a “social courage” award to Dr. Fauci last year. The diversity and inclusion nonsense is strong even at defense companies now. My former employer’s message board was filled with people saying they wouldn’t return to work until their toddlers were vaccinated. These people had advanced degrees in science and engineering. So, no, many engineers aren’t conservative or skeptical anymore.
