Hi, I work(ed) freelance in the tourism industry. gently caress yourself.

No, listen, I'm right there with both of you. Broke as gently caress, divorced, owe child support and in the same boat as everyone. Resigned and destroyed. Barely hanging on like everyone.

Don't tell me to go gently caress myself either of you.

I'm about to get furloughed from my job and try to find a way to make ends meet and hang on to my health insurance with a 9 year old son that has epilepsy and ADHD.

All I meant was maybe all of us can and will have to simplify a bit. We'll have to. Focus on what is important. I'm not lecturing anyone, just reacting to people complaining that they can't watch sports or go to movies and concerts and Disney World. We have a hundred things to occupy our time and entertaining ourselves is the least of our troubles.They can't lock us all up for the crime of being poor.

I'm sorry if I came off cold. Just been listening to people bitching about no basketball and poo poo like that when there are people like you guys and myself that are really facing problems. The gently caress else can we do?

And all I meant is that people who seem like it's a chore to have to dig out some old DVD's and video games need to check themselves if that's the worst problem they have. I wasn't trying to be crass or insensitive to people who are hurting. I'm hurting too and facing down maxing out my credt.I was calling out the people I'm hearing on the radio bitching about not having enough to do and whining about not having spots to watch.

Take it easy, both of you. I'm on your side and I work in the freelance industry myself.

I doubt a revolution will happen.

I've been listening to some sports talk radio and and all the host and callers are like "what are we gonna do?" and "what are we gonna talk about?" It's silly. You can talk about sports history and all sorts of poo poo forever.

My boss is about to put a lot of us on furlough and warned us Friday about what anyone who is paying attention knows is an upcoming recession.

If anything good can come out of this, maybe Americans can self quarantine, read some books, watch some movies in their Netflix queue, study, take a walk on the beach, chill, play some games with their kids, write, draw, go through their DVD collections, pick up those old XBox games, call some old friends and dial their lives down a tad. People are whining about being bored and having nothing to do but we have a million things we can occupy ourselves with if we can just settle down and really look at poo poo. Break out those old DVD's and Wii games. Dig out an old board game you never got around to. Sort out your closets. Clean your homes.

Let's take a siesta and simplify our lives for a month or two. Who loving cares if there's no sports and we can't go to loving Disney World or jam ourselves into a movie theater? It might do us some good to spend some time with ourselves and our families instead of chasing money and working ourselves to death for nothing at all.

i normally have to go home to my folks to have my concerns minimized

hope this is how it pans out, honestly. i'd prepare fearfully for plague riots but this is possible, I guess

Apparently Trump tested negative for covid. I realize it's cruel to want an old man with probably the physical resistance of a baby's fontanelle from a life of eating like Richie Rich to get a potentially fatal illness, but it's yet another tick on the wall that proves God lies dead and stinking on the bathroom tiles of Elysium

You'd think that God would know that Trump is incapable of learning and would only take from the experience that God has chosen him to be indestructible.

Also lol like Trump's doctor has any credibility and would say he was infected even if he was.

i don't think it is unique to trump. if there is an epidemic in a country, it is in everyone's best interest to pretend that the leader doesn't catch it. an added bonus to this specific situation is that if trump does have it, he is spreading it to every rear end in a top hat oligarch he knows.

NPR Marketwatch did a segment on this clown where he proclaims to be providing a public service by hoarding and hawking that poo poo.

Read the NYT article if you can. A few weeks ago he bought 2,000 old (expired?) pandemic kits with some masks, basic meds, and sanitizing materials for $3.50/each and then sold them on eBay for $40-$50 each. That's a handy $80k in profits just for that.

I sincerely apologize to the thread for my poor choice of wording last night and can see how it came off tone deaf, crass and insensitive. That was honestly not my intent, I should have known better and I am sorry I worded it the way I did.

I'm about to get turbofucked myself so I certainly sympathize with everyone who is in a similar boat. Hopefully, I can ramp up my freelance work if my hours get cut (they will) and, in the meantime, I'm just doing stuff like playing board games with my son, catchin up on my Netflix queue, reading, writing, working on my yard, cleaning and organizing the house. I don't mind too terribly about not being able to see sports, go to movies and stuff like that.

I have a lot to catch up on a built in excuse to finally get around to it.

Again, I apologize for the insensitive way I expressed myself.

The best thing about this is that more rural, poorer areas where people rarely travel are less likely to be impacted by the virus, at least initially.

So they're going to take spitting in each other's mouths and licking the floor as evidence that the virus doesn't exist when no one visits Possum Scrotum, AR to spread it to them.

So the relief bill that the House passed requiring paid sick leave: I read it comes from the Social security administration and that companies would get reimbursed or something. I hope so because loving CHUD owned smaller businesses being forced by PELOSI to pay their workers sick time are going to loving HOWL of The Government forces that expense on them.

Starting with my giant rear end in a top hat of a boss.

I don't see why they just don't send every American something like 3 - 5 grand right now (or something in line with their current income) and then pay for the cost of testing instead of making sure McDOnalds and Walmart make out OK through this. poo poo, it would probably really help Donald's re-election chances. ALso, it's the smart play because all of that money goes straight back into the economy.

Seems to make sense which is why it won't get done I imagine.
