Neil Young calls out Tidal

Did you make that up? Because its not true.

@noske I am to the point where I pretty much do not care.
it is only that I know some people that cannot be vaccinated that I care at all.

So the truthfullness of the quoted post, is sort of not the point, as both side believes what they want to believe. It is like talking to a wall.

If someone believes in some conspiracy, then so be it.

A year ago there were some stories of a friend (of a friend)^n… that went to a covid party, whom is now on their death bed begging others to take it all seriously. That too could be fake.

Of course I am stuck at an airport, and am stuck due to Covid rules… So I do not really care a lot. If they believe that vaccine has nano particle badness, like some high $ fuse has nano particle goodness, then let them do the test and I’ll be in the control group.

I appreciate the Neil and others are passionate, but passion is only good if one is like Joan of Arc. If one is passionate about being anti-science, then let’s let nature test it.
(We can always buy the Vinyl if we want to hear Neil... as he should be heard.)

Life is messy.

Most cannot deal with the fact that life is messy. They want quick and simple answers to problems and are sadly willing to sacrifice personal freedom for the illusion and comfort of “security” and the facade of not having to find a reasonable and effective way of navigating life’s very messy waters.

When the simple answers are not forthcoming the result for many is fear. Fear, to the extent that the blame for whatever problem is at hand is irrationally placed on those who dare to have a different point of view and who value the freedom to have that different point of view. That different point of view is denigrated as “ideology”; all the while being blind to the fact that this denigration is ideology itself. The idea that the unvaccinated should lose or be downgraded for medical services is not only the result of this fear, it is also inhumane.

Could anyone in this day and age argue that smoking is not a bad idea? Or, that overeating to the point of obesity is not a serious mistake? Or, that not wearing seat belts….? Or…..

Has anyone looked at the hospitalization rates for lung cancer, obesity, or no seat belt use related problems; just to name a few? Should those folks lose or be downgraded for medical services as well? Where does it end?

I am triple vaxxed. It was my freedom to be so.

None of this thrashing by Young made any sense until I saw he was touring this summer.   Then it all become clear.

I won't give him career advice because he's already made a fortune, but simply note that he's playing to an every shrinking and dying audience.  He might do better to get to know young people, their listening habits and the issues that concern them.  

He might be surprised at what he learns.

@frogman The idea that the unvaccinated should lose or be downgraded for medical services is not only the result of this fear, it is also inhumane.

Very inhumane.  There is a solution of course, and that is to make taxpayer funds available for sufficient medical resources, nurses, doctors, support staff, facilities and everything else I've forgotten so that everyone can be treated on a fair and equal basis.

In the absence of this, what is your solution?  Something to do with eliminating this fear thing that is causing the problem?
