Still foolhardy enough to work?

[The Liffey Lip]

Famous last words of a set in his ways knave....be careful rats...you meet all the criteria.

Just to be clear, I never said That I was or was not working! just that the internet now seems to have  turned full on witchhunt and that there seems to be a lot of holier than thou fingerpointing  .
Most taxi men  have cars and if they need to go shopping to feed themselves or their loved ones or any other essential journey I'ts quite easy .
This is not true of everyone.
Both of my parents are in their 80's  and now live separately  and both alone.  My mother still drives  and  can get  out easily enough if she needs to.  My Father cannot and depends on me or my siblings for this. some older  or disabled people don't even have that luxury.. so they get a Taxi  and luckily there are still some Taxis out there to provide that service.
If for some reason we were unable to help out my father  and he really needed to go somewhere, then I personally would much rather see him get a Taxi than a Bus, Luas or Dart . The reasons for this should be obvious to anyone except the hard of thinking !

You can practice social distancing on virtually empty buses, not so in taxis.

Well I personally took the roof sign off,and the bus lanes are not inportant at the moment cause there is not much traffic

I'm pretty sure he'd find help within his immediate community. Our local volunteer community help group called to the door yesterday to check if anyone needed assistance or if anyone wanted to join their effort... something I may well do, the DIY materials will run out eventually!

[Rat Catcher]

Proper order, SB and DM... you're both classed as "at risk". Self isolation is the only thoughts you should be having. If you need any groceries or anything like that please let me know.

Aww Thanks RC. I'm doing a weekly shop in Aldi tomorrow, Do you need a cement mixer for the shed?

Will you get the community help group....to help?

[Rat Catcher]

Christ, have you any idea how many people have handled all that produce?

I'm willing to sacrifice myself and get you that cement mixer if means the shed gets finished.

Can you explain how this is a better or  safer option ? (given that we don't know anything about  these people  and who they have been in contact with)

@ john On the surface of it  that seems reasonable enough, but then  if you think about it a little then it starts to look a lot  like virtue (or more accurately compliance ) signalling . Thirty Pieces of Silver ? who mentioned  profits except you ? remember what you say  speaks more about you  than anyone you say it about !
I'm beginning to think that  a lot of the witchfinders on here are pissed off thinking that others are making money  when they are not and that is  what is really bugging them..   I really doubt that that is true ! so you can all wind your collective necks in.

based on this information  we are not really safe  in any public space  especially when we are touching surfaces  that others have touched ...
so people who need to travel and who are still capable of thinking for themselves  can figure out  what is the safest  mode of transport !
