lol the Philadelphia DA just made it impossible to prosecute anyone by saying that any trip to jail comes with a high risk of contracting a possibly fatal virus. I expect a million constitutional claims of cruel and unusual punishment and demanding immediate release of all prisoners in the morning. https://twitter.com/DA_LarryKrasner/status/1249751161504227329?s=20

Stereotype posted:The only real nullification crisis is going to be about interstate travel though. While straight up balkanization might be unlikely, regional travel restrictions are absolutely going to be a thing as red states have explosive growth in cases while blue states effectively eradicate the virus and start trying to open things back up. tourism industry collapses and hawaii gov't has to implement UBI to keep the peace as it turns into a state whose only major industries are finance and military poo poo hornt up to see real estate speculators get hosed and rents stabilize to not insane levels. maybe it will do a singapore and bail out particularly bad condo investments to turn into public housing? jk, they're gonna deport everyone that can't get a job in the brave new paradigm

Someone just needs to get to trump and convince him that UBI, healthcare, and legal weed would make him the most popular president of all time. Hell, he could condition those things on hotels getting a massive subsidy and no one would care

shovelbum posted:the different parts of the us are much weaker individually and no one part is incredibly better than the others, in fact the privileging of nyc/bay area for being THE CENTER OF THE ECONOMY in so much liberal wank just glosses over the fact that a huge portion of the coastal city economy is the fake loving service/finance economy where we all sell weird financial products to each other, or tech ad bullshit scam economy balkinazation, but as a service, on the cloud, it's a subscription model. that's my elevator pitch

Someone tried to do ranching there but all the cows died because they kept eating all the plastic. The real reason there isn't any ag here is because cost of living is too high and so it isn't economically feasible when you can just do it somewhere else for a tenth of the labor costs.
