The Film Industry Has Had A Heart Attack

[clearspira]

From what we know about the virus, I don't really get how movie theaters come off as particularly high risk

It doesn't matter if it's high risk, as long as it's completely voluntary and non-essential. I might be willing to take the risk for something important, but the more trivial the activity the less the risk has to be to be outweighed. I can watch movies from home, and heck, I don't even need to watch "new" ones. There are plenty I haven't seen that have been out for years. May as well use this as an opportunity to catch up. I have no obligation to prop up an ethically-dubious industry with my health, just because.

That's good and all, but our social ordinance has moved beyond only go out for groceries and supplies and walks. Describing it as non essential puts into question most anything people are doing during the day.

Your's may have. I'm boring.

One thing they learned us is in 10th grade was that abstinence oriented sexual education is misguided. They say it’s because teens don’t listen, but I also think it’s not very nuanced in information on the specific condition.

Clearspira, I envy your faith in this crisis to destroy entrenched, powerful industries and other institutions of the status quo.
