Badger of Basra posted:I can’t believe they’re making criminals out of people who violate laws “But there was no law passed so no one should be punished and I have heard of the Constitution so my rights are more important than their laws or rules. So I am being patriotic by ignoring these rules.” Actual response I have gotten from a prison guard and police officer. When I told them that they make a living off of not believing this and have arrested a lot of people who feel the same way that they do, they both told me that that was different for random reasons.

I'd like to live in a timeline where this stance backfires and we start getting laws on the books specifically criminalizing spreading disease during a pandemic.

WGN had the Will County GOP chairman on this morning to talk about the lawsuit he's leading against Pritzker's stay-at-home orders. It was mostly standard "open up for the economy!" stuff until he got to the end. Then he started bringing in some Plandemic garbage about how staying at home and wearing masks actually weakens our immune systems!

I tried explaining to her wearing a mask maybe an hour or two a day and avoiding physical contact over a few months isn't going to gently caress with her immune system. The only way it would is if she was in quarantine for many months in a hermetically sealed room with no human contact. She refuses ro believe me and continues ro claim these measures are killing more people than the virus and everyone's immune system has been hosed because of social distancing. She is still observing mask wearing and social distancing, thank god, but I can tell she is just done with this and is dying to get back to the normal that existed before this pandemic. I explain to her that normal doesn't exist anymore but, you guessed it, she refuses to listen to me. I don't know why I keep trying.

Tell her to go rub some mud or stagnant water in a cut or chill out in a forest with no bug spray if she wants to give her immune system a workout. Infuse her body with all those diseases she was getting into fights with every day prior to the pandemic.

Is there going to be some big reveal by Pritzker on Wednesday or something? My boss was going on this morning about how the CDC is not recommending masks anymore and that they don't do anything. I told her that was old news, but then she said something about Pritzker having some big news conference thing later this week. I was kinda caught flat-footed by all of it because I'd sorta tuned out of a lot of news because it was just depressing me.

brugroffil posted:CDC is still recommending face masks? Yeah that's what I found; the mask guidance is still on the CDC site. I'm guessing someone posted an old interview (she claimed it was Fauci) recently trying to prove something; it does sound like the post was found on Facebook. That app is a loving plague on society, ugh.

Effingham County continues their trend of being terrible by announcing they won't enforce Prtizker's executive order on businesses reopening. I somehow doubt they would be cool with me choosing which laws or ordinances I want to follow. https://twitter.com/EDNMain/status/1262886763120427009?s=19

It really is too bad that the Governor can't just fire these loving idiot sheriffs when they pull this kind of stunt.

Is the state ever going to get PUA payments out to people? We are one of the last in the country to do it now. Girlfriend was put out of work by the state orders almost 2 months ago and hasn't seen a dime. What the gently caress is going on? If that's not bad enough their new system was leaking everyone's name and SS#. https://www.wqad.com/article/money/illinois-unemployment-portals-glitch-made-private-data-public/526-a8c52fe9-9f52-4711-8e9d-7a6e6508578b

Yo, what? I thought you were gonna let your SO have a go at it! I can't believe you would take this opportunity away from them <  >I have allowed my quarantine beard to run free, and so long as I'm not required in the office/masks will be mandatory in the office, I'm going to keep it that way . . . not sure if I'll just trim it back down to the "business professional" 10mm or actually find a beard stylist when it's safe to do so . . . . . . Edit: I got an invitation to go to Buffalo Wild Wings and eat outside when they open up the outdoor patio again. Tempting, but I have to imagine that nearly everyone is going to have the same idea . . . maybe I should just have a backyard bonfire instead or something, hmm.

Dammit, I hate foolish people so much. People in my area are saying how courageous Bailey is being. “He posed no risk because he was sitting at his desk 6 feet from others (staff should just stay away from him).” If you want to see someone see bragging and trying to get their name out there, they are saying to look at Pritzker and how he gets on national media and how he brags during his press briefings. “If Pritzker’s EO was okay, why is the ISP and all of the sheriff’s saying that they won’t enforce it” lead to them showing Pritzker has always known that his EO was against the Constitution. gently caress this area of Illinois.

I'm morely likely to just take takeout to the nearest public seating area where I can be sure I'm not around some spit-talking loudmouth saying how all this is a hoax/overblown/insert stupid here. I am getting tired of soggy fries and lukewarm food tho.

The only thing that will likely change for me is I'm going to try to get a haircut. My barber is a two chair shop, and it's rare for there to be more than 5 people in the place because he always works on appointment only. It would be pretty low risk, and I'll wear a mask as much as possible while getting cut. Otherwise, until daycare reopens, I can't go back to working in an office anyway. I'm in construction, so I may end up at jobsites a little more often when needed. I've been staying away as much as possible, going like once every couple of weeks when I really have to show up someplace.

A girl I went to high school with runs a “food truck” that just sells t-shirts and sweet tea. Apparently, she had planned on being at the Clay county courthouse for the Bailey and Pritzker court case later today. But Pritzker had it moved to federal court and so now she is going elsewhere. (There is another case there I believe at the same time now but it is not Bailey so the crowds won’t be there). She even blamed Pritzker for how she was having to change places. loving grifters everywhere.

I'm gonna shamelessly advocate for the Delia Ramirez rent/mortgage relief bill ITT. The current version, SB 3066, is being voted on today. Mind filling out a witness slip as a proponent? http://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Crea..._=1590156721929

Poque posted:Delia's my rep. What does a witness slip mean? It just indicates that you're an Illinois resident with a position on the bill, so I guess it's the equivalent of calling your rep, except it's a signal to a committee. It doesn't require you to be a constituent of the sponsor or anything. You can just check off "record of appearance only" and indicate that you're not representing an organization.

Why it went from HB 5576 to SB 3066 is not clear to me. I don't know if it's the same text. Total speculation, but maybe they're trying to get votes in both chambers to avoid conference committee?
