here's an interesting article saying the toilet paper shortage might not just be due to hoarding but because people having to poop at home means they actually need more tp now

Supposedly they do. However, they don't qualify for UI so they don't get the unemployment bonus. The CARE act supposedly will allow them to qualify for UI but states are saying they're waiting on "guidance" from the department of labor on how to proceed before they implement it. I wouldn't bet on the guidance ever coming.

edit: also yes, you have to file taxes this year, and if you have no federal tax burden, whatever that technically means, you only get 600.

yeah, franchises have been able to apply for "small business loans" on the grounds that the location is a small business, it's just that the corporation which is a separate business gets a cut, since forever

It's absolutely what no one thinks of when the phrase "small business" is said, on top of the cutoff being above 500 employees nowadays, because whenever Congress talks about small businesses being competitive with megacorporations, it's always about lifting small-to-medium businesses up at the expense of workers instead of bringing the megacorporations down relative to workers

I'm glad Kemp is getting dragged everywhere for his dipshit answer, but when the very first question was like "wtf are you talking about" his and his medical person's nuanced answer sounded like word salad that implied "the people in rural GA who voted for me hadn't seen any cases but now they're all about to all die so..."

This is literally it: GA hospitals in bumfuck sent him a letter yesterday like "hey we know your chuddy mayors and state congress people have been its-the-fluing but just a FYI half the hospitals out here closed 6 years ago when the last governor didn't expand medicare and the surviving hospitals have enough capacity/staff/equipment for about 1.5 to 2 weeks before we start digging a hole on the edge of town to toss the bodies in"

I got word about an acquaintance who's hospitalized for about 2 weeks now. He's someone who has has worked with me on some small projects on and I feel gutted right now.

i'm out in rural georgia and i can confirm that people have no idea what's coming. no one is taking it seriously, every person at every level of government hates that we're going into lockdown, and the people just could not give a poo poo. now for some people, mostly poor people, this makes sense because they work their asses off in agriculture and retail jobs and have to or they'll literally die. but the "middle-class" and rich people who are still proudly shaking hands and going to church and poo poo are going to be the ones overwhelming our lone, bankrupt hospital cutting ahead of the working people they infected with their carelessness

i had to go out to pick up some groceries today and i went with a homemade mask and some medical gloves and the cashier asked me how to make a mask. two weeks ago they were calling me crazy for just staying 6 feet away from people

Louisville doctor of Korean descent says he was kicked out of Indiana gas station because of his race and fears over COVID-19

quote:

A Louisville doctor of Korean descent said he was kicked out of a gas station in Martinsville, Indiana, because of his race and fears over COVID-19.

David, a Louisville-born cancer doctor who asked he be identified only by his first name, said he went to a gas station in Martinsville, about 30 miles southwest of Indianapolis Friday.

An employee at the station yelled at him, the doctor said, and prevented him from coming inside because of his race and fears over the novel coronavirus.

"He was very angry and told me to get out,” David said. “I wasn't allowed to buy anything there, I'm not allowed to use the bathroom there, never come back, don't ever come back. In a very violent and hateful way."

A gas station employee told police that the business was trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus and would not allow people of Chinese descent inside the store.

David was born in Louisville and is of Korean descent.

Police have advised the business against that kind of behavior.

The Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on factors including race.
