Internet Wizard posted:At least they actually did something about this one Still though, how much of a broke brain psycho was this guy that this triggers it? It's confounding. I guess maybe the crazy right wing corona deniers will hopefully change their tune when we start having thousands of deaths, but I'm not optimistic.

Bored As gently caress posted:Good. Anyone who comes out and says "its okay if 1-8 million people need to die because NUMBER HAS TO GO UP AND THE ECONOMY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD," seriously needs to die. I need more context before I feel as comfortable as other people do despising a dead guy. Money/policy nerds debating the question, "At what point is the economy more important than illness related deaths" is a worthwhile conversation since economic woes leads to wars and deaths and so on. If by economy, you mean my 401K, sure, but when economic nerds say economy that includes making food, building shelter, providing electricity and running water, and so on. Aggressively arguing for a point without a lot of evidence would be morally reprehensible, but not conversing about at what point you can expect civil wars, food shortages, housing crises, and new mass migrations is probably irresponsible.

From the blog of the Stigler Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, which is not a heterodox or a marxist place. https://promarket.org/captured-western-governments-are-failing-the-coronavirus-test/ quote:When we agree to work in a more dangerous job for a higher salary, we are implicitly trading money for a chance to die. By observing many such tradeoffs economists have been able to estimate that the so-called value of a statistical life in the United States is $14.5 million in current dollars. This value is a measure of people’s willingness to pay for risk reduction and the marginal cost of enhancing safety. 100k deaths is a shitton of money, even in the dismal science. $1,450,000 million, to be precise.

If both Washington and NY hit that point, we've done worse than China.

I'm sorry, but with the state of everything right now, anything flying at any political anything deserves a skeptical eye. If this is a thing that happened, every bloodthirsty reporter in the world is going to shake the branches. This is Ronan Farrow's bread and butter. If there's something there, it will come out. Fox will run anything. I've seen this circling on some wierd parts of Twitter for a while now. The first place is saw it was an anarchist collective Twitter account. So yeah, I'm gonna wait till someone gives it a little bit of a look. It's a lovely thought but there have been thousands of fake scandals and things that never appeared over the last 4 years.

Considering you were already waiting for Biden to win you over, I don't think your vote was ever likely to go to him. And as hosed up as it is, not voting (D) really is handing the election to Trump, another probable rapist and possible pedophile. Unless you live in a state that's already a lock for blue.

Godholio posted:I'm not entirely sure what that means, but you posted while I was typing. Wasn't replying to you. So why did you quote me and try to shame me into voting for a rapist whose track record (pre rape accusation) the "opposition party" undoubtedly knew about, since time immemorial, and is obv cool with. To the point of sabotaging their own chances of winning an election to prop this dizzy oval office up. Trump must not be that big a deal if you are free, white, and 21 (s/o to Paul Mooney for putting me on). I'll stick to backing AOC out here, in MY blue state, post primary after casting my vote. I have to worry about burying my mother in the near future, not the far future, because of this pandemic. People are already burying their loved ones and we aren't even remotely done with the poo poo. You want me to support a weak leader, produced by a weak party? Please godholio, tell me what's the difference in that choice? One will kill us all outright, the other will be polite while doing it. The gently caress's the difference. There is no room for the current Democratic party in our society anymore. Either it changes to reflect the needs of the people or it fails. Hopefully it is taken over and made into something else, something better, but I'm not holding my breath yet. The show ain't over but it looks like they wanna go down with the ship to the country's detriment. So be it is what I gotta say to that. And gently caress your pissant candidate is what I'll say with both my votes. One for bernie, none for biden, and none for trump. This bullshit was the last straw for me, I was down to be pragmatic up until this. I'll put in some papers at the courthouse and change my name to the whitest sounding bullshit I can think of. Because lol, here we loving go again.
