Maryland is in a weird place where we're ramping up medical resource availability but also just kinda pulling the ripcord and openin' it up

Boots on the ground level I think we're hosed mostly because everyone braced for an impact that didn't happen and now everyone is in nothingburger mode

Traffic on the beltway isn't quite normal but it's also very obviously not actually shut down in any way

Pulling the ripcord? Hogan just amended the stay at home order to allow for people to not get picked up by the cops for walking alone or going out fishing. He hasn't even signaled anything like we are blasting open the doors and having the worlds greatest freedom party. The plan is laid out and he is easing it because psychos and scared people are beginning to freak the gently caress out moreso than normal.

This is a bone for them to go huntin, fishin and play golf as long as you do it in tiny rear end groups the police will not pick you up.

There is literally only bad decisions on the table and its the guys job to pick the best bad decision and own it.

He did that in the same presser where he said the entire stay at order could be lifted next week

Hogan's done an admirable job with this all things considered but I think at this point any talk about "we could lift this next week" is pretty much equivalent to saying "I'm gonna lift this next week"

Edit: with the exception of the schools I think? I think he said he wants them to stay closed for the remainder of the school year

I also don't think he's planning to reopen all businesses immediately so maybe pulling the ripcord is a bit extreme yeah

I'm in agreement that Hogan was good and cautious t the start but if he doesn't get massive pushback we're just going to open up because that's what all his business buddies are telling him to do.

My conspiracy theory is that he only was so paranoid because he is immunocompromised with all the chemo and poo poo he went through.

I suspect he called up his doctors from all that and went "what's the deal?" and they went "oh no we're p much hosed" and he did the right things because people close to him that he trusts told him to

But I was probably being a bit extreme with "pulling the ripcord" because he does have a gradual step by step plan thing

Look at Florida's pneumonia deaths. 4300 in 3 months. That's higher than any recent yearly total I can find by like 1000. (In 2017 it didn't even crack Florida's top 10 causes of death with #10 being 3k deaths https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/states/florida/florida.htm).

I am still in the bad call mindset. All options on the table are bad and the window where good decisions could be made has long passed. Capitalism is about to kick down everyone's front door. Doesn't matter what your politics or beliefs are. This is literally history book poo poo going on right now. You reopen the business as usual and I GUARANTEE you will see millions kicked on the loving street the second the landlord lobby cracks that no-eviction order. Where is everyone gonna go? What kind of jobs can these people get when Retail, Restaurants and Service industries are bankrupt from the entire consumer class vanishing? Where are they gonna get food while all the farms are dumping their worthless harvests to rot in a field and farmers without locked in contracts have no idea how to scale anything anymore? Who the gently caress is gonna get on a plane or pass though a crowed airport security and where the hell would they go?

Congress turned on the money printer and everyone saw it. They printed money for the fed to literally buy up every poo poo investment to bail out the entire upper class and they are going to outright walk away with the bag. We got 1,200 bucks and told that ought to get us though it.

They could have just done a rent and mortgage freeze and printed the loss right into the banks holding the contracts and boom everyone has breathing room. They could have done a federal wage guarantee and just told all the employers to fire no one and send everyone home and just pick up the wage bill with the printer now all the small businesses don't need a loan. Then fix the whole publicly traded market by either halting trade or literally buying a holding in every nationally critical sector and nationalize the whole thing to never have a crisis again. Then picked up Medicare for All and just printed the "How you gonna pay for it" argument into oblivion and pay everyone's medical bills. Then when it is all said and done you got all this poo poo on the counties books you just inflation leverage the thing into a dark corner to pay for itself and in 20 years no one will know it ever existed because the world economics needs dollars to trade and it can't fail. Boom country saved and after six months of lockdown we all come out after a great vacation and get a spike in divorces but nothing else.

We chose hellworld. This was a choice. And there isn't a single person you can vote for that would fix this come November. The progressive rebellion was defeated. Bernie got a brainslug slapped on his head. Both parties are totally pro hellworld and it is going to take decades for the hosed generation to get actual power in high office when there is a nation of amped superpowered grifters that will torpedo you for life using everything at the disposal of the information age.
