shame on an IGA

That is insane.

I can *almost* understand a call for very strict triage rules like in Italy (ie, old people will die, accept it). But this is insane. There is no way to guarantee the controlled rate of infection. This sounds like they were on some drugs and watching/reading bad scifi.

no it's proof of what CSPAM has been trying to explain to everyone for years, your lives are meaningless to those in power when weighed against the risk of Number Go Down.

quote this post in the near future when they're pushing to roll back child labor laws as a hail-mary to jumpstart the economy.

That’s because as a kid Boeing made planes.

Now that you’re an adult you see that they make bombs and bad decisions.

Thwomp posted:

For some reason, this post really clicked something for me. Or at least made me realize how far down the rabbit hole Republicans have gone.


They absolutely would throw their own in. And they’d have absolutely no problem with it unless they were the one selected to be thrown. The cult of “follow the leader” plus an unhealthy attachment to personal prosperity is just bonkers.

Explains downstaters too. They’d absolutely sever Chicagoland from the rest of the state even though it’d make their outlook objectively worse. I’m sure they’d be happy though, not tied to the blacks big city politics crushing their wishes.

For anyone (thankfully) unfamiliar, Illinois outside of the Chicago metro area is as backwards, racist, and conservative as any part of Missouri, Kentucky, or Nebraska.

Cause they are full of poo poo. it's an airplane manufacturer run my business school grads who are all hiding how much money they're spending and losing. their books are so cooked it is absolutely insane and when it comes out it's going to just destroy the company.

I grew up between Kankakee and Champaign in corn and soybean country. You are not wrong. Not in the slightest.

I describe it like most of Ohio, only a touch less racist. Like, 2% less. No one I knew growing up had a confederate flag and the large hispanic community in the area is kinda surprising. Also not surprising, the first time I seeing a black person, in person, was when Ernie Banks (Mr. Cubs) came to a town to ride in a float as a guest of honor. Other than stunts like that, towns were mostly white with 10-20% hispanic populations.

Central Illinois is garbage, unless you like corn.

I am saddened over the loss of Indiana Beach though, it's closed down for good now. :(

My mom keeps getting into Facebook arguments with my dumbass emotionally stunted cousin who thinks Donnie is a good president because he's a master troll. He's nearing 40 and won't shut up about how the "my button is bigger and actually works" comment was a funny and smart thing to say. Now he's moved on to how "CHINESE VIRUS" is a brilliant thing to keep pushing. She won't just block him or not engage with. I'd have burned my bridges with him and his parents years ago if I saw them more than a couple times a year.

According to some people I know at that agency, he was a 26 year old IT contractor and had no role whatsoever in crafting or executing policy, and again, he didn’t die from COVID.
