One of the most pivotal things I've ever heard. It's I think about it every day for maybe the last two years since I first heard it. It's from the great Thomas soul. He said there's no such thing as solutions only trade offs.

Conservatives understand this progressives do not progressives look for their utopian visions and they seek to achieve them. Conservatives understand that in life there are no such thing as solutions. There are only trade offs.

It's true with everything. Do I buy list do I not buy this do I go here not go there invest in this don't invest in that. Well there's no such thing as solutions only trade off.

Life's full of non stop all day life's also full of risks. And we calculate those risks all the time driving a car is very risky. But you got to get to work.

So you calculate it is it worth it. Yeah it's worth the risk getting an accident got to get to work. We are doing a poor job of risk calculation with COVID on this March 30th 2021 writing like is March 30th 2020.

We're calculating risk as if millions of people haven't already taken one of these soon to be five vaccines that we have in America which is amazing because for a while we weren't sure if there'd ever be a vaccine.

And we're not taking into fact into account that millions more now natural immunity because they got COVID recovered we're not properly calculating risk analysis.

And this is what's leading to the vaccine passport that's being thrown around.

And that is a very very bad idea.

When you drive a car there's a certain risk you're going to get an accident and die. Imagine if I told you hey Charlie I have impending doom of your driving today don't do it.

I'm scared you'll die you have so much promise so much potential in life don't do it don't drive today that emotional plea would would screw up your calculation your risk calculation and lead you to make a not proper analysis and a not good decision.

We're still doing that with COVID very specifically this is the head of the CDC head of the CDC just getting all emotional what she's saying that she says I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom.

We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope but right now I'm scared.

This is not helpful. That is feelings over facts.

How is this helpful to the American people to have this woman of science say I'm going to I'm going to go off script and I'm going to reflect on the feelings I have of impending to why are you unloading your feelings on us I'm not interested in feelings I'm interested in facts what are the facts now you don't have to sugar coat things to me I'm an adult give me the reality the situation.

But you also don't have to start to cry and try to emotionally manipulate me.
