trump straight up said the feds are outbidding states, and he's sending the supplies not based on what FEMA thinks but on what governor talked to him last.

We're going to need a 9/11 commission style investigation into this when all is said and done.

Cool let me know when investigations into obviously dumb and wrong poo poo the Trump administration does matters.

The cops saved me twice from being harmed. I had to lock myself in a bathroom with my cats because my exbf was about to beat me to death with a tire iron. I called 911 and they showed up and arrested him. He was a "nice guy" so no one believed he was emotionally abusive, I never thought it would get physical. The second time my house was broken into and I was upstairs sleeping and the people who came in didn't know I guess. I had to call the cops to save my rear end. What was I supposed to do? Just get a gun myself and shoot these men? The not so justice system is beyond messed up and bigoted but sometimes people need help. How do you suggest that we help people such as myself in those situations?

Chart showing deaths per week in the Netherlands and comparing the corona crisis to the 🤒 F l u w a v e 🌊 of 2018



So, these numbers were released by the central bureau of statistics to pretty much call out the Health Ministry’s numbers as bullshit. They haven’t been testing the dead for coronavirus so if you died at home, or before getting tested in the hospital, then it didn’t officially count.

quote:

The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) estimates that in the fourth week of March, nearly 1,200 more people died than average. The researchers think that this difference can largely be explained by the outbreak of the new coronavirus. They signal a discrepancy with the mortality figures from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), which had 713 deaths in that week due to the new coronavirus.

Statistics Netherlands estimates that 4,300 people died in the last week of March, about 1,200 more than the average in the first ten weeks of this year. The researchers made this estimate based on the number of obituaries received so far by the agency. According to Statistics Netherlands, the increase appears to be concentrated in the over-65s.

Based on this estimate, 80 percent more people died than usual in North Brabant and Limburg.

If 1200 people died last week and not just 700, the real numbers are about twice what is being reported, which would put the Netherlands much closer to Italy or Spain in terms of death rate. (The Netherlands was already ranked number 3 globally in deaths per capita)

That's why it's not such a justice system but sadly sometimes needed. It's super hosed up in so many ways and why I'm so torn. I wish it wasn't like that and really hate it but just know my situation =(

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

I could actually believe this to be the true.

Trump said states have to "be nice to him"
Blue states have confirmed that they are in a bidding war and then vendors have told them the federal government told them not to sell supplies to them
Supplies are being seized by the feds
The federal government is distributing supplies to red states and rural pro trump areas that don't need them yet
Trump is praising the governors of the states that support him for their handling of the pandemic while blaming the governors of states that didn't support him for their problems while denying them supplies


This isn't really much of a shock. Conservatives have always raided the government for funds and then denied them to their cultural enemies.

My favorite part of this pandemic is all of the shitheads who are the most likely to believe in social Darwinism are self-selecting themselves to die because they think they are rugged individualists with strong genes and God on their side, and could not possibly be harmed by the flu.

The least favorite part is the innocents they'll kill in the process.

Trump and Kushner have directed FEMA to confiscate everything they can find and outbid all the states on the rest while pushing a "it's every state for themselves" approach publicly so that any state that wants supplies for their hospitals has to suck up to trump and cut him an ad to run for re-election on

On the one hand I'm glad they are doing this. Seems they are just using the staff+kitchens+food supplies that were already ordered for public school kids and giving it to anyone who is hungry.

OTOH it's kinda depressing we've reached the government soup lines part of the crisis. "Wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth!!!" :rolleyes:
