I recognized Smoka from YOSPOS. They're a pretty decent shitposter, and posts a lot of interesting youtube videos in the YOSPOS pics thread. Dunno how serious their QQCS thread was, but I lol'd at it. In somewhat happier news, Missouri will not be left behind in the arena of "re-open our state" protests. Here Are the Mental Giants Planning a Protest to Reopen Missouri Next Week https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2020/04/17/here-are-the-mental-giants-planning-a-protest-to-reopen-missouri-next-week The reporter is over it all. my favorite line posted:Now before we go any further, let me say: I almost didn't write this post. To a degree, I understand that a lot of these people are scared, and this willful denial of science and defiant chest-beating amount to a coping mechanism. It is far, far more comforting to believe that uh George Soros and uh I dunno "the media" is teamed up with pfffft maybe Hillary or Obama or some poo poo I dunno in a dastardly plot to utterly sink the economy that is responsible for all of their wealth than it is to believe that an invisible pathogen that doesn't give a gently caress about you or your political leanings is legitimately and indiscriminately infecting and killing people at an alarming rate. quote:So please beg pardon while I drag these people mercilessly.

Hyrax Attack! posted:To quote Lex Luthor: “...do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President?” Yet he did eventually run for president, *won*, and promptly, in two universes/timelines, went super evil. In one, secretly allying with Darkseid and in the other, nearly starting WW3 instead of being impeached, forcing Superman to kill him, turning the Justice League into fascist overlords. DC even went so far in a recent book to have Clark Kent lambast Luthor during a WHCD, which spurred him to start an exploratory committee. A little on the nose, but hey. Trump has shattered the barrier that held billionaires back from running for the presidency. The emoluments clause is now merely a suggestion, and if you think the Democrats will/would enforce it if/when a left-leaning/left-pretending billionaire candidate with a modicum of charisma comes along, you're nuts.

It can't survive conservative voters doing the same god drat thing every 4 to 8 years. I hate* to sound like a broken record but we're going to witness the death of an empire in real time- from the inside. This poo poo's going to get wild. *not really

It's the only logical end result of Trump calling himself a wartime president, and his cronies using military terms to suggest we're fighting a war against the virus and our medical providers are on the front lines. Makes it so much easier to overlook all the needlessly dead first responders and hospital staff.

Oh, keep in mind Trump is using this emergency to send more and more troops to the border, even though the flow of migrants has slowed to a trickle. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/add...tbreak-1.624512 https://www.stripes.com/news/us/us-troops-remain-at-southern-border-despite-waning-migration-as-coronavirus-spreads-elsewhere-1.623474 My favorite is the second article where it says troops have literally been used for area beautification to make the wall look better.

The school situation is legit frustrating, trying to be a teacher and work full-time isn't working. I totally get why people are frustrated and resentful but holy gently caress, I really don't think people grasp how hosed our health Care system is. I was talking with a customer last week, OR director in a poor rural county, and they said the media was overreacting and this was all fake news. There are maybe a dozen ICU beds spread out in a 200 mile area for 12000 mostly old and poor people. poo poo is gonna be ugly when the Rona hits rural America...

I know one young person upset that we aren't opening up the economy. They're a LEO who is convinced the Dems are trying to take his families money and government is the issue, and also Dems only want money to give to the poor and for abortions. Uncle Sam is the issue. They've never had a job not funded by tax payers as far as I know. Oh and they're racist. So, ya know, brain worms

Godholio posted:There's a non-zero part of me that just wants to say "gently caress it, open everything up and do it soon so we get a couple more rounds before the election." I have had this thought, myself, but then I think of everything else: Essential workers dying in droves. People dying of heart attacks, strokes, even staph infections, because literally every health care facility is a COVID-19 facility now. Spikes in levels of tetanus, and other preventable diseases. Cancer patients that might have had a good prognosis waiting around for a year, and cutting their chances of survival from 90 to 40. A flood of newly disabled individuals that can no longer work due to long-term heart and lung damage caused by the virus. Lol if anyone thinks we have anywhere near the infrastructure to deal with any of that, least of all the newly disabled. And as HCWs die off, we'll have precious few available to replace them, save maybe some med school students that haven't yet graduated. Honestly, if these assholes were willing to go to their own fever clinics, and die quietly there instead of clogging up the hospitals, I'd say fine. Do it. Live out your death cult dreams to the fullest extent, as a means of exercising your beloved freedom or whatever. But they'd rather take everyone else down with them, so-- whatever. Into the volcano, I guess. Old Boot fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Apr 18, 2020 |

Everyone screaming this is a hoax or we need to open the economy etc will absolutely still just blame the nebulous other and Democrats when this impacts them anyway. This is a loving freeroll for the GOP to get as much grift and groundwork for fascism as they can since the Democrats in Congress will by and large do nothing and roll over for them anyway.
