    I don't know what goes on in your private life to make you have this bleak view on the world, but objectively speaking, things are going pretty okay. Not with every single human being of course, nor ever country and region, but the trend is that humanity is thriving. We just got to avoid an ecological collapse.

    As for Covid-19: Yes, we will likely not eradicate it, but with more and more people developing immunity through vaccinations or from having been infected previously, it will become more of a nuisance than a deadly pandemic, more like the common cold than the Spanish flu (and I am not disregarding the fact that the common cold kills thousands every year, just that it isn't a big deal to the vast majority of us). 

    Personally, if anything this pandemic has shown me what we humans can do in very little time when we work together by developing an entirely novel vaccine to fight back an entirely new disease we have not encountered before. In many ways, Covid-19 has been a warning shot and we have risen to the occasion. Not every one of us, not every country, but as a whole. Hopefully we will now be better prepared for when a really nasty pandemic arises. At the very least we have shown what we collectively can achieve - and I am fucking impressed.

    Yeah, we should all thank Trump for delivering us a vaccination in historic time.

    Because some fans still have hope that GnR can be a real and relevant band again. The best records are always a snapshot of the current state the artist is in at the given time. You do the recording while you feel it, so to speak. 

    I don't want the best product, I want to hear real music.

    Hogwash. If Axl had a son or genetic twin brother that sounded just like him, your telling me you would not accept a record with the vocals from them? That would be closer to a real record recorded in 2021 by an "impersonater" than something Axl sang in 1980.

    That moment you realise you're on an online forum, discussing whether a hypothetical album by a band will feature decades old vocal tracks from a singer, who has released one album in almost 30 years, along with contributions from members who left 20 years ago, spliced together with new recordings from current members! I need a new hobby!!!!! :)

    The Prince fans are way worse. They only just got done with his estate sale business and now sound just like circa-mid 2000 GNR fans waiting for new music.

    Axl called Slash 

    Axl dialed him by accident is the true story.

    He was searching for the "slash key" because he just learned to use his new smartphone. 

  4. Well, Im on the side of living your life and not letting COVID take your freedoms away. Let people that want to live do it and anyone that want to sit it out out of fear of COVID can. It isn't fair to put economic burden on people trying to make an honest living by shutting them down.

  5.    So, factoring in driving to a far out located charging station, it costs nearly 50% more than gasoline, and takes 18 times longer. It takes an hour and a half for a tank for 5 minutes to fill up with gasoline.

       The macro time cost alone isn't worth it because if the person who can afford the Tesla is making a minimum of $25 per hour, the wage hours of money lost was nearly $40 on top of the $21 for a minumum wage job with tips. The 5 minutes for gas is about a $2 out of an hourly minumum wage job, making the total cost for gas about $15.
