RE: I Drove 4 Hours To Fill Two ATMs

Maybe a contact tracer? Not a job I would want, but I guess they are going to hire a lot o people for that. All your crypto investments could pay-off, and maybe lead to an early retirement, that would be lucrative.

The most important work to come, could be your comic book, and then a movie deal, and then retirement. Look at the movies lately, the comic book movies re-hashes of old comic books, because nothing new has been thought of. Amazon needs new series, net flicks needs new series, and probably other internet places I have never heard of need comic book movies.

People worry and stress over the future to much, things will work out they always do always have, and likely always will. I'm sure some of the cave art by the earliest peoples of mankind contained dooms day thoughts, but they still live on in our DNA, and we will live on no matter what the virus does. We, us, personally may not but humanity will.

These are difficult times. Just have to hang on in there for a bit longer and see how things work out. Nothing much we can do.

Hey, @bashadow.

I'd have to see what a contact tracer entails. I'm not liking the 'digital tracker' options I've been getting glimpses of from phone makers. I'll need to do more research into just what privacy rights/laws are going to be trampled.

Once this kind of thing is put into place, it's just a hop, skip and a jump away, if that, from being used for nefarious purposes.

re: crypto investments

That would be nice. I'd settle for more lucrative at this point over more important. Leave that up to the younguns who feel it's their birthright to change the world. Good luck.

re: comic book

Wouldn't that be something? I doubt any of the stories I have are particularly 'original', but they won't be just about the action, or character building. I'll stop short of calling them morality plays, because that sounds over-the-top, but for those who wish to pause to think about them, there will be ample opportunities to do so.

re: future

I kind of feel I know where this is ultimately all going—it's just a matter of how quickly. I'm balking against the constraints now. It's only going to get worse. Crypto's going to need to pick up the pace if it's going to 'save the world' somehow, without carrying over all the bad habits of the old system. I'm not holding my breath. I don't see anyone with any sense of urgency.

As far as humanity goes, yeah, it will go on. As to whether I live on or die, well, that's not something I've ever had a whole lot of control over (certainly, I can and have mitigated risk, but all it takes is being in the wrong place at the wrong time). It's whether or not any of us are going to have any freedoms left by the time it's all said and done. There will always be some 'greater good' to sacrifice individual sovereignty on.
