I love how no matter how many times gerbe overreacts to things and he gets clearly shown how he is over reacting. He still will overreact next time. He will never be ready

This is why people rag on Boomers.. broad generalizations about Millenials, while Boomers grew up in the ideal time to be an American and absolve themselves of any responsibility for our present situation. Your generation have been occupying all positions of power for the last 20+ years, and have been complicit in completely shaping the world and this country into what it is today; and yes, that includes everything you hate about Millenials.

Then Boomers ask, "what on earth did we ever do to you, you privileged Millenial?"

You did nothing. You let this happen. Now it's up to us and our grandchildren, and their grandchildren to clean up the mess you created.

Dumbest comment I ever seen from you. And there is a lot to choose from

Bro wtf. I’m moving to the U.S forsure.

Condos here go for 500K.

Different country of course and my currency is worth about 70% yours is but damn.

Even in Western Ontario where it is cheap like London where my girlfriend lives it’s $350K for a semi.

Where in London? That’s where I’m from.

Gerbe isn’t the only one who comes on here & overreacts or greatly exaggerates

That’s common practice around here

"I won't be coming home tonight...
my generation
will put it right."...
From a song sung by many late 80s kids, written by people who grew up in the 60s...and now recently remade as it remains relevant today. We've always been cleaning up mistakes from our fathers, while building on the good things that they have done.

He certainly makes his mark

Here’s a little of the new trend of thinking going back 55 years.

You guys aren't wrong about the death tolls and numbers but the real problem with this novel corona virus is the sheer amount of people getting infected and needing oxygen tanks and hospital beds - the Hospitals are overwhelmed and don't have enough supplies or rooms.

I agree - The powers that be are using this to implement a lot of things - Capitalism is changing before our very eyes and borders are closing, people are being told to social distance... It's 1984, it's Soviet Russia, it's a shift in Global Economics and we are missing the bigger picture.

The 7 WNY counties other than Erie have only decreased travel by 10%

Where the hell are people going? Everything is closed
