The gyms are not all closed.  In March yes, they all closed, but almost all reopened in June.  Then closed again in August or so and almost all reopened when we hit Tier 2 back in September.

There were even some that opened in Tier 1 because they set up equipment outdoors. Like 24 Hr Pearl Kai and Flex Fitness (Dole Cannery).

During the 1st lockdown in March, everyone did what they could at home.  Lots of people bought what weights were available and made due.  Others just did body weight stuff like push ups and hand stand shoulder presses, curing 20lbs bag rice, etc...

You cure your rice?   

And try look, many are 18 lbs or less.  Used to be 25 lbs.  Keep same price, but lower the weight.  Sneaky buggahs. . .

I do isometrics.  Gyms are nice but lack of access cannot be used as a reason for not staying in shape.

Love that it has no mention of deaths....

if 2-3% of 75% of mumbai's population died, we would have heard about it by now...

Someone attempts to fight back against the cult.. not likely to see such juvenile misbehavior here in Hawaii ( IGE/GREEN/et al.):

This Michigan restaurant chain is fighting back. They wrote a letter urging other eateries to join them in defying the state's dine-in ban

The owners of Andiamo, an Italian restaurant chain in Michigan, penned a letter asking other restaurants to join them in defying Gov. Gretchen "Big Gretch" Whitmer's latest orders that ban indoor dining.

The Andiamo chain is part of a larger group of restaurants owned by The Joe Vicari Group. And in the letter, it says they anticipate having to lay off some 700 employees.

And they've had it up to HERE with Whitmer's lockdowns.

The letter came from owner Joe Vicari and was dated November 24th. It read in part,

"Our industry cannot survive another extended closure. Thousands of restaurants and tens of thousands of our employees can not survive it either. We need to band together and FIGHT BACK but we need to do this as a United Group of Michigan Restaurant Owners."

Vicari noted that it's not just their staff that will suffer, "All of our vendors will be suffering too," Vicari wrote.

The economic impact is going to be massive for these poor restaurants, and it's nice to see someone trying to stand up. Vicari says he fully expects that Whitmer will extend her temporary "pause" beyond when it's set to expire on December 8th.

Despite her protestations to the contrary, Whitmer has been unsympathetic to the plights of small businesses, and specifically restaurants. She has repeatedly played a game of "shut it all down" even though the state supreme court and legislature have attempted to stop her.

Major Hospital Demands Gun Ownership Information And Saves It Alongside Patients’ Health Records

Northwell Health commissioned a research titled, “We Ask Everyone. Firearm Safety is a Health Issue.” Patients visiting the facility for routine screening must answer questions on firearm ownership and guns at home.

The information will be recorded in the patient healthcare record (EHR) and used to “establish next steps for care.” However, the provider refused to disclose the questions to be asked.

Three Northwell facilities, two located on Long Island and one situated at Staten Islands, were selected for the initial stages of the project. The provider will then expand the practice to other branches and services including inpatient and ambulatory settings across all hospitals operated by the healthcare provider.

I borrowed 50lb dumbbells from a friend and made due with it. If there is a will, there are no excuses. And when the gym reopened, i only lost 15% on my lifts. Except legs, i lost a plate (45's).

Borrowed from Charles Nichols' California Right to Carry page:

“When a people lose the courage to resist encroachment on their rights, then they can’t be saved by an outside force. Our belief is that people always have the kind of government they want and that individuals must bear the risks of freedom, even to the extent of giving their lives.”

New Yawk, that sewer of liberalism. 
Odd that any gun owners live there and have not been driven out by now.

They are forced to comply. Give an inch. Boil a frog, etc...

They probably say the same thing about Hawaii.

At least in New Yawk you can pay someone off (if you are wealthy/"famous" enough) and get a carry permit.

Plus, upstate/outside NYC counties actually have significantly more reasonable anti-gun laws than Hawaii.

Back to school?

It's safe for children AND faculty to be back at school, and we've known this since the early months of the pandemic.

Yup. As with many things in life, especially shooting, mindset is key. No excuses, work the problem.

This is the greatest public health fiasco in the history of the world, and the media has distorted it so badly, that much of the general public is celebrating villains and hissing at heroes. And, even — perversely enough — celebrating the destruction of their own lives and their children's lives.
