I just saw where Orleans Parish has cancelled classes Monday due to the eclipse. I've never seen so much anxiety over of one of these in my entire life. They're not that uncommon.

ETA: It was Orleans Parish, not EBR. That explains a lot. Sorry for the confusion.

Aren’t there like 3-5 of these a year.

We have regressed as a society to the point that Idiocracy would be an improvement

Well, this is the first one in seven years and there won't be another for 20 more years... so not all that common either.

But as to why people are losing their minds over this? Social media? People are stupid?

We’re regressing to a society that believes in child sacrifice to appease the “gods.”

The OT is really tore up over it. This is the fifth or sixth thread about it in 24 hours.

Probably because in 2024, it only takes one kid frying his retinas for a schools system to get sued into the Stone Age.
