This is good to hear, I've met a lot of other skilled labor chuds but mostly in the South where most everyone is a chud and non union lmao

I don't really understand why our membership skews so hard right when the subsidy side of the industry is really bipartisan to Dem leaning. I think it's bc the culture war stuff is really good at drawing more apolitical ppl to the right among other things.

I saw this at work too. Almost everyone had masks on or would compromise with some kind of clothing or bandanna.

Now only half the customers are wearing any kind of mask. They think now that the lockdown is over, they don't have to follow anything.

Our store really can't do anything due to complaints that some people couldn't get masks during the more frenzied period and don't want to be punished.

We're hosed lol

lol how do you have war with a country that makes all your poo poo? How does that work? What if we need something? It’s not like we are going to make things ourselves, we literally can’t do that anymore, how would this hypothetical war work? I do not believe anyone in power is seriously serious about this.

I remember a medical guest on Joe Rogan who was speaking about the coronavirus who said that the US military depends on China with medicines and other perishables. We would be shooting ourselves in the foot from the start.

Hi that was me and yeah, if death doubling held to the April rate we'd have 650,000 dead by the end of the month.

quote:

Almost four in five Australians say they trust the government to give clear and accurate advice on the Covid-19 pandemic, a larger share than those who report the same feelings about the media, according to a new survey.

The poll by the Australia Institute also shows two in three Australians believe the government should take the lead in sustaining the economy as the country recovers from the Covid-19 crisis, while just one in 10 say that role should be taken by big business.

The progressive think tank surveyed 6,000 people across six countries – Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the US, Italy and South Korea – to gain an insight into their views on trust and economic anxiety in a time of coronavirus.

quote:

In all but one of the six countries, a majority rated their national government’s overall response to Covid-19 as good or very good, with the highest such rating found in New Zealand (83%), where Jacinda Ardern has pursued an elimination strategy.

The lowest rating was found in the US (49%), where Donald Trump has faced criticism for a sluggish initial response and poor national coordination.

quote:

Across the six countries, government was twice as likely to be selected as the other four groups put together.

The survey report said people in Australia and the UK were most likely to say that the government should take the lead in sustaining the economy (both 64%), followed by NZ (62%).

Only in the US – where sentiments about “big government” are more strongly held – did fewer than half say that the government should take the lead in the months ahead (43%). Despite this, Americans did select government more than twice as often as any other option.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/04/most-australians-want-government-not-business-to-lead-post-pandemic-recovery-survey-finds

I'm not sure that you'd get the same response here now that people have seen the public reaction to restrictions being eased slightly. It's pretty clear that the various governments here made a huge error of judgement in assuming that people would continue to comply with the majority of restrictions after a few were lifted.

50% operating capacity for beef, pork, and chicken. Only 1.5 million hogs killed last week compared to 2.7 million normally. The cut out (whole animal) price after slaughter for a cow hit $375, up from $293 this week. The last time there was a huge price spike was 2015 when it hit $260.
