No they're just the people who keep electing death cult morons and acting like it's a sane choice somehow. But we're not allowed to blame them directly for some reason. It's ok the left is 90% drunks who will die of covid. death is preferable to this shitshow. hail satan

the assumption here seems to be that people needing to work to eat would lead to jobs reappearing, which is obviously false

also, unless you force schools to reopen, many people won't be able to work even if the job is there

if you cut off unemployment benefits, you won't force people to work, you'll force them to commit crimes and/or start food riots

Tested to see if they are currently infected or tested for antibodies?? If it's the former, good luck getting everyone rammed through in a week, if it's the latter HAHAHAH we haven't even rolled out antibody testing at my facility, and even then efforts are going to be focused on the highly-exposed health care workers first.

the tweet was something like "when covid is gone, let's have a parade for health care workers."

but since NYC oriented media loving hates Diblasio, its been turned into the above.

DIblasio still loving sucks for recommending people to go out in early March, but you still have to recognize the propoganda.

yeah, this. astroturfed chud protests are a channel for money to push their messaging. they provide a public excuse to chud politicians so they can do what they wanted to do already. the protests don't cause anything, they justify things.

this does not mean that real grassroots protests cannot work, but it's a completely different dynamic. it's "what power already wanted to do" vs "what power does not want and must be forced to do"

conservatives are bootlickers to their cores and assume that we'll all just die rather than commit crimes

also they want us to commit crimes so they can shoot us, it's a very nuanced ideology

The "protests" make me furious too but I think it would be helpful for people to remember that right now is still only the beginning of the Plague Age, and there is literally no way for the derpy business owners to get what they want.

The V shaped recovery is a myth brought about by magical thinking. If chuds wanna go out and get sick that's not our loving problem. Your time is better spent doing mutual aid stuff, protecting yourself and your own community, and buying a gun

Do I wish this was a 4X strategy game where I had full control over the whole country? Sure, but that's not how it is, bring that focus down to a more local level for now

Republicans don't care if poor people commit crime or start riots. Those are just excuses to send out their thugs to teach these people a 'lesson'. They want those excuses. Believe what you will about what organized desperate people are capable of, the republicans in the state of Georgia don't share those same beliefs.

Only the reason the common cold is endemic is because there are dozens of strains that constantly mutate, which we have seen no evidence of this virus doing.

reminder that except for one state, Massachusetts, none of the gig/temp/self employed/sole proprietors who were promised unemployment are able to even apply for it. these reopening states are never, ever going to let these people get those benefits. except for lobbyists , they'll get them because the state buildings are closed

not like any of this is going to matter, because sweden has proven already that all nightlife/tourism is gonna die no matter what the govt tells people to do. gently caress it

also this thread rediscovers the importance of oxygen every few days from clickbait proclaiming how, you know, every part of your body gets hosed up if you can’t get enough oxygen into your blood. its morbidly amusing to see people freak out learning how important the lungs are to overall function after i saw someone i know go downhill to all but dead from pulmonary fibrosis lol. like did anyone remember anything they learned from biology

cant wait for people to find out advanced respiratory failure causes irreversible brain damage, and not the good kind people have in cspam
