It's incredibly stark to see the difference between him and Jason Kenney (Alberta Premier). I don't like Doug on the best of days and I think the list of essential services here in Ontario is far too large. BUT, at heart Doug (and the Ford family in general) are populists (hosting Ford Fest every year), and I'm pretty sure someone sat down with him at the start of this (after his idiotic "go travel on your march break!" press conference) and gave him his "come to jesus" moment.

I took great pleasure in watching him get royally pissed at price gougers though.

To be fair ol' Kenney has to deal with $0 a barrel tar sand oil so he's got his hands full of his province literally falling apart

Regarding Cuomo, the last time a NY pol stepped up to fill an incompetent white house's leadership vacuum during a national crisis everyone wanted to appoint Rudy Giuliani king, how's that aged?

Ontario is expecting 3 to 15 thousand dead from this, and for it to last 18 to 24 months.
Over 100k dead without aggressive social distancing.

Yikes. I have no idea how the entertainment/food service industry is going to recover from this.

So my company's current plan is 4 furlough days for everyone in Q2, and 4 more in Q3. With the execs taking a 13% pay cut for the year. Could be much worse.

Another example is Mike DeWine sucks but I appreciate the job he's done in Ohio with Coronavirus.


So can the Navy be colossal dicks and discipline an entire ship for being solid and showing their appreciation for a Captain who sounds like he probably did the right thing (I've only gotten bits and pieces of the story)? Because that wouldn't surprise me at this point.

BC's doing okay at flattening the curve so far but there are already six restaurants for sale and three more for lease takeover in my town (30k population, about 45 minutes from the City of Vancouver).

There was a new brewpub that was supposed to be opening about a quarter mile from my house this summer. Hopefully this will calm down here and they can still open on time.

My city runs on the Shakespearean theatres in town and just had a multi-million dollar renovation for one of the them and the season is cancelled for this year so all the restaurants, hotels and etc that cater to all the tourists are gonna be hosed. The city is only 35k so this is going to devastate this city, we are gonna need a bailout to save downtown here. Its pretty much a national icon so it should get a bailout, even if the government barely funds it already.

The fuhrer announced that the CDC is recommending people wear masks, but he's not going to actually do that himself.

I hope he catches it.

E- his reasoning was basically sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office wearing a mask with State leaders visiting wasn't a good look.

The article says he ramped up production for Swine Flu and was promised contracts by American hospitals who promptly ditched him for Chinese suppliers and he almost went bankrupt. Love capitalism!

The article claims that he is ramping up though?

It took us almost two years to spin up manufacturing for WWII.

And that was with 24% unemployment and a manufacturing level that was not nearly as sophisticated as today.

You don't spin up an additional two shifts by just hanging out a sign and shoving any idiot who walks in the door on a machine.
