I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

Tei posted:

This is pretty stupid. USA can get in debt and do things like pay governement employees because China buys the debt. If you touch that relationship, China would stop buying that debt. Then USA would have to stop getting in debt, what means not paying govenement employees a salary. Would be a governement shutdown .... one dificult to restart.

Do people like this lindshey think before they speak?

The entire economics system is a lie.

The fundamental difference between the great depression and now is people figured out money isn't real and if everyone is just going into debt with each other, no one is going into debt

I'm filing for unemployment on Sunday morning because work is suspended.

however, today on a work tag-up (for which, we were not allowed to charge time) my manager was asking for volunteers to come in to work on emergent needs and PPE could not be guaranteed. we would need to bring our own masks and gloves.

if I stay home and collect unemployment in addition to the 600 trump bux I probably make the same or more than I do if I went to work and caught corona on purpose.

we'll probably never get there as America has a cap of 100k tests per day and everywhere else is gradually getting it under control or simply doesn't have the testing capacity

if we're seeing 200k daily official confirmed cases then hell is about to break loose because that means it's totally worldwide and uncontrolled. so basically if it starts exploding in brasil and india

Our cap is actually higher now, they do keep adding more testing capacity it seems like, but it is at like 164k now after being stuck at 100k for the whole week. Meanwhile the number of confirmed cases has been going up 30k every day

and even with the slow growth in testing our daily deaths went from 1,000 to 2,100 in 7 days, with AT LEAST 200 per day going uncounted in new york city ALONE.

By this time next week we'll be at like 3500-4500 deaths per day, after a weekend slump that seems to show deaths per day going down to like 1500-1600 because less reporting is done on the weekend for dumb reasons. And then it'll explode again monday-friday. This cycle will just keep repeating itself

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Libertarians and right wingers now talking about recalling Andy Beshear in the twitter comments and wondering if the ban on mass gatherings applies to mosques.

There are no recall provisions of any kind in the Kentucky Constitution.

Also their biggest number one concern right now is that Lowe's and Lowe's specifically is considered an essential business.

same with people getting UBI till enhanced unemployment terms out.

same with people with private insurers that are currently waiving deductibles & copays.

same with rent strikes after the eviction moratoria end, when people owe multiple months of rent.

same with employer-based health insurance, once 30 percent of americans have lost it and are consigned to the obamacare marketplace.

this could be the tipping point for americans' radicalization, and for pols to never again mouth the trope BUT HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT?

yeah I'm not going in. I told all of my coworkers not to go in either.

I also told them to document all cases of being required to use their own PPE and send it to me and I will send it to our labor union for documentation.

Are restaurants still stocked up well? I was thinking of ordering a hundred trump bucks worth of chicken wings tomorrow from a local wings place and just freezing them and work through them in the next couple of months, but don't know if that is an rear end in a top hat move or not.

You’re throwing $100 to a small business that might help keep a person employed another day, not a bad way to spend money right now
