All this stuff opening back up is insane; it feels like the governments/companies/etc are gaslighting us or something. Like literally nothing has changed, cases still increasing linearly like they were when the quarantine first began, and they're just randomly choosing to re-open. What the gently caress do they think is going to happen?

Hopefully cases shooting up against in 2+ weeks causes some sort of reevaluation.


Also this is with most of the US epidemic so far happening under quarantine. I have a feeling that the switch from exponential growth to linear growth might return to the former now that things are opening up.

They know a shitload of people are going to die, but over the course of the first wave they've realized this is an acceptable trade compared to losing profits and revenue.

They did the right thing until they realized the full scope of how much money they would lose, then laughed and said "gently caress it, money is more important."

They have a line of succession written into law, in the event the President dies while the office of VP is vacant, though it isn't in the Constitution

edit: nevermind, Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 gives Congress the ability to determine "Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President"

this was glenn greenwald's reasoning during one of his cattier days on twitter when he was being contrarian about impeachment. His line was "was what they did so awful that it justifies Pelosi becoming president?!" and the answer of course was yes, bitch

the millisecond one of them officially dies, a new VP will be appointed. if trump goes first, pence is immediately sworn in and given the oath and he 100% certainly already has a VP named in advance, who is immediately sworn in and given his oath. no way this ever actually ends up in the presidency going to pelosi.

Also, why are people heroes for doing their jobs?

Every single military person is not a hero, a hero is someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty.

I give it a 50% chance that Trump would just name a rando famous business person like Mark Cuban because he was watching Shark Tank.

It has to go through both chambers of congress first to be official

That doesn't mean its not possible that the GOP would just crown someone president on Trump or Pence's deathbed, but it would trigger a real succession crisis which would for sure lead us to civil war

Okay, hehe, let's say Trump gets covid-ed. Doesn't die, but is put into a coma. For Trump-dick-suckers, it doesn't matter. They will vote for coma prez.

The question is, how many of you are gonna go for Coma Trump, with the risk, of him becoming a weekend at bernies skit by the GOP, and maybe coming out of the coma in the four years there?
