Do not order Mexican food in Canada either, found maybe one place in Ontario that was a good as a mid range taco truck. Even Canadians call poutine “heart attack on a plate”. Now if was called New Haven pizza it would be better. Boston has ok pizza but great cannoli.

I love these guys. The keyboard warriors are always good for a laugh.

“.... We used to go across to a Greek place that was excellent. I can't remember if it was in Osoyoos or Penticton....” Theo’s - in Penticton. I haven’t been in quite a while, but it’s used to be great!

Those are valid arguments, yup. The thing is, they also apply to folks at all levels making most if not all of the claims we read about every day. You don't see a lot of them with the details you mention here. Heck appeal to authority is the SOP for most discussions here with respect to source, depending on the poster. I am not making the argument that this source is the be all end all of sources, I'm saying that they bring up the other side of the harm equation which is not just the virus it's the response. And they do include some references to studies etc. I'm not aware of a wide spread practice of releasing code/calcs for these things, so that's another area where this outfit isn't much different. As an aside, IMO all publicly paid for code and model used for public policy should be publicly available as standard practice.

Those are arguments? That's the wack. Meanwhile Seattle Parks without Parking, Washington Beaches without Beachcombers

Hey Goat, since you live in Klickitat county, why do you care about Seattle parks policy? It isn't like you are affected by the "If you have to drive a park, it is too far" guideline. Seems like you are just using the propaganda technique of distraction to avoid responding to posts where weaknesses in your positions have been pointed out.

[MtnGoat]

Many reasons. One, what happens in the anthill rarely stays there. Two, rational governance is in everyone's best interests, either in my county or another, or another state. Three, it's an good example of overkill regardless of location. And I am impacted by the drive too far standard, since folks using the same ideals as the Seattle parks closures shut down everything here I wouldn't need to drive to (much), making what would be a 4 min drive to my routine workout hill a non starter. And once I'm in the rig, well, whatever I can reach within use of my usual fuel stop is legit, as on Sat/Sun (lazy trip reports). I've responded to your post, noted the valid criticisms, read your response, had nothing to add. It is now a board rule nothing else can be discussed until Randito approves of a topic's resolution? Seems like the frontloading on propaganda is yours, via the well poisoning method. The garden variety 'you don't live in X, so why do you care' thing, well, seen this move in places with more international posters usually (you live in the US, why do you care about X), never seen it pulled in a county to county format. So congrats on that for sure.
