There's a good vid on the Pale Settlement in Poland and what happened to the farmers there with the money lenders.
I commented on the Twitter post too, and I wasn't diplomatic. What's really unnerving was the teeming pool of SWs chipping in and egging on the diatribe of self serving hypocrisy!
I think Twitter has enabled this kind of behaviour, #MeTooMovement style. I am sick of the man-hating rhetoric on Twitterverse. It's like Twitter just empowered all feminists to use the forum for propagating their agenda. The sheer hypocrisy and self-entitlement is galling. I think people should be allowed to chime in on opinions, especially man-hating ones, without the fear of being blocked by the OP. Huge mistake on Twitter's part.
Possible Slippery Slope
By taking this position, now, perhaps TERB has strayed into the territory of judging what's appropriate or not. Effectively TERB's position has become 'we do not condone sexual behaviour between consenting adults in this time of lock down because the public heath authorities would not approve'. I am not convinced the public health authorities approved even when there was no Corona on the loose though, so perhaps little has changed in terms of their position.
I think it's a slippery slope, although the position might very well have merit to it.
Speaking of a slippery slope, in self iso lately I have been catching up on Netflix movies. Just re-watched Cliff Hanger with Sly Stallone - first time since it came it. What a great movie. I don't think any other movie since 93 has started off the way this one did, just totally unexpected what happens in the first ten minutes. If you haven't seen it before, I do recommend.
I am not so sure about this decision, although maybe it's the right one. Previously TERB could make the argument that it was just a neutral billboard on the internet, so to speak. People or companies would advertise their services, and TERB would put those advertisements up without judging the merits.

TERB newer allowed ads or discussion of BBFS or sex at massage salons, so, what they do now is basically the same
maybe for clients that still have job.
for current providers better find civi jobs now as there will be a new wave of ladies that have lost their jobs to enter the sw industry. going to be competitive
Or, YOU don't understand what a pandemic is or social responsibility. Beefing with the "public health authorities"? Now?
Apparently you missed my very first sentence which reads:
Also, now more than ever is the time to challenge the public health authorities, not to be difficult, but to force them to take us through their line of reasoning and to make them justify the huge imposition they've placed on society and individuals with their proposed course of action.
It might be news to you but some medical doctors have even proposed not isolating and allowing the virus to run it's course naturally because then the pandemic will subside sooner resulting in less deaths. It's fine if you personally do not want to apply any critical thinking skills to the issue and just want to be told what to do by someone holding themselves out as an expert or professional, but some of us need convincing and aren't afraid to engage in comparing the facts and evidence to see if better solutions might be available.
I don't disagree with your questioning authority nor your needing more convincing but this is different, IMO. With it being controlled we are experiencing a shortage of medical supplies, care givers and people are dying. Letting it run its course would create an even greater care shortage and more deaths. The front lines are already overwhelmed with a controlled environment, so to speak.
So in this case what you propose is hogwash, IMO. The world is in uncharted territories.
I will not see an sp who shit talks clients on social media. Or posts convos. If it's a safety issue sure but other than that Im done enabling this rotten behaviour.
I have not heard any medical professionals propose this. In fact, all med professionals that matter (of states, provinces, and nationally) all recommend long term social distancing. Futher to this, the only people I hear touting going out in public business as usual are far right wing bloggers, some US republicans, and business owners who don't want to lose money. There is little regard to public health and safety in this position.
Correct. However in the Netherlands they are letting the virus spread through small regions at a time. Pubs and everything else are open in small sectors where they are letting people live their lives. In essence, they are letting people become infected to build up an immunity to this virus.
I'll find the link and post when I do.

South Korea they have the schools open . Each country is doing something different . Hopefully we can learn from them , because we are at the beginning.
Just to add my 2 cents here, but the Netherlands also have 10 to 11 times more deaths than here, just saying.
A lot of methods are being tried but only after this is done we will see which worked the best.
Oh and the Netherlands have about 40% of Canada's population.
