Focus entirely on countervalue for the US and there will be nothing left but Mad Max style raider gangs. literally any more deaths than Vietnam and we'd disintegrate into raider gangs anyway

like we're disintegrating over a very very controllable virus, identical to but less severe than the viruses we get every several years like clockwork, which every other country has easily reduced to nearly zero with an 8-week lockdown, UBI, track and trace

Dumb Lowtax posted:The chuds are about to get bored of protesting; watch for it. The protests got big money behind it. They'll just roll out pundits and activists to speak and keep the fire going even when the ones who just joined up go home and hole up for the inevitable second wave. Mainstream media will accept it. Right-wing media is going to have to keep banging the drum about how everyone except Republicans are responsible for the virus getting so bad here. They'll throw poo poo in the air and let the mob grab and whatever suits them the most. Republicans won't deny a second wave is going to happen. They'll frame it that it wasn't SUPPOSED to happen but SOMEONE purposely made it worse (China, immigrants, Democrat politicians).

shovelbum posted:trump is overwhelmingly popular with half the country, like "bush on 9/12" popular with Rs, he has the most loyal followers of any pol in US history lmao to chuds, this is a golden age Right, it doesn't matter if he ever makes any sense or does anything decorous, that's not how his followers want him. Chuds are people who understand pro wrestling is fake but like it anyway. Donald Trump is a WWE hall of famer who, in both their eyes and in his own, is perfectly playing a dumb odious heel character designed to make the liberal media weep. It's pure entertainment. To white supremacists he's on "their team" and doing well so they love him. To poor whites, he's at least providing free entertainment from a platform that never provided them much of anything else. They love him. They want him this way. As sloppy and offensive as possible, playing up his character. The people who look down on wrestling fans are the same ones who look at political theater and think that dems vs repubs is real; those people deserve the chuds.

The town I'm in just got more cases after almost 3 weeks of no new developments. It's going to be a mess when everyone from everywhere else tries to rush to the opened beaches and gives the roni. Fun times ahead.

sincx posted:a lot of countries will throw shade at china, but in terms of actually taking concrete actions against the PRC... Japan and Taiwan were already anti-China Sweden is obviously a country run by death worshipers so yeah I can see them trying to start WW3 If anything the pandemic might be a wildcard in Vietnam. Yeah, China is a bully right next door. But they're at least rational and have a similar system of government that can withstand a crisis. The US can't even help itself, how is it going to help you in a regional conflict or climate catastrophe.

SKULL.GIF posted:only because there's more people being born every year (net 23 million people, roughly the population of NYC metro) than there are homes being built Cities are full of luxury condos no one lives in because it's a safe investment. Real estate will always go up in value forever. Only a fool would bet against home values going up, which is why I am heavily invested in mortgage backed securities derivatives to maximize my profits.

sincx posted:a lot of countries will throw shade at china, but in terms of actually taking concrete actions against the PRC... As a Filipino, I wouldn't put the Philippines on the "possible" column. Duterte is leaning hard on establishing amiable relations with the PRC, and while this is fueling a lot of vocal opposition towards him, he controls Congress and the courts. The most I would expect is that some nativist right-wing demagogue wins in 2022 on a wave of anti-Duterte-mixed-Sinophobia to counter Duterte's tough-on-drugs right-wing demagoguery.

Okay so LA mayor Garcetti came on today to break the bad news to us that we shouldnt get excited about Newsom announcing that CA retail would be allowed to open on Friday. Friday retail opening is for good counties that lowered their case rates and LA has to keep eating our medicine.
