It's in abandoning hope altogether than we will find salvation. Hope lies to you. Hope tells you that compromise is possible. That the system can be reformed and the capitalist redeemed. Hope is the drug of choice for liberals.

I haven’t given up hope for my personal life to be full and happy but COVID and the response might have been the final nail in the coffin on any hope I had that the US government would ever become an effectual organization that works towards the public good

Most people are staying home so I bet we have a bunch of somewhat isolated outbreaks around churches and other similar places but nothing that really does enough to break through. The real question is how much retail and dining goes under if more people don't suddenly decide to start going out again.

Now, when schools and sports start up again in the fall then we'll see some poo poo.

Nah poo poo's going to get wild. Summer months, especially June, are big for weddings. Some of the chud states (Iowa :eyepop:) are allowing weddings to start up again.

The only hope I am capable of is a thin facade I am barely maintaining so I don't have to make my wife miserable.

There is no possible way to address climate change in any meaningful way. Covid has shown us the farce of the US ever mobilizing to deal with such a threat and there is no reality where the next president we get does anything meaningful to address it.

they "opened" the pool at my place but hired someone who lives here (I think they live here, they sent out an email asking to hire someone who lives here) to monitor social distancing and to wipe things down. They have 4 sets of two chairs/umbrellas in the far corners of the pool and people are limited to 2 hours each then kicked out. My husband went to get the mail the other day and said people were just getting some sun and one family of a parent w/ kid was in the pool and it looked like people were trying to distance while enjoying the pool. It might sound selfish but I want them to open this little hut we have in the corner with a garden hose so I can don a mask and wash my vehicles because they're really bad and it's starting to mess up the paint on my beat up old truck, it's roped off right now.

Japan released their state of emergency for the whole country today. I'd still think it's way premature, but I've thought things would go really wrong before and they apparently didn't, so I don't know.

I walked by an okonomiyaki restaurant last weekend and it was completely full inside. there might have been an explosion of infections If that kind of pattern was over the whole country last weekend, and if there was I guess we'd know about it next weekend or so.

The Memorial Day weekend marking the unofficial start of summer in the United States brought big crowds to some beaches, parks and other destinations across the country, and warnings from experts about people disregarding the coronavirus social-distancing rules.

The outbreak in the US, the hardest-hit country in the world, has killed nearly 100,000 people and infected 1,626,000. As all 50 states have begun to ease restrictions in some capacity, experts have warned citizens to stay vigilant and continue to take precautions to avoid a resurgence.

On beaches in the southern state of Florida over the weekend, sheriff's deputies and beach patrols tried to make sure people kept their distance from others as they soaked up the rays on the sand and at parks.

In the Tampa area, along Florida's Gulf Coast, the crowds were so big that authorities took the extraordinary step of closing parking lots. The county's sheriff, Bob Gualtieri, said about 300 deputies were patrolling the beaches to ensure people did not get too close.

In the state of Missouri, people packed bars and restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks, a vacation hot spot popular with Chicagoans, over the weekend.

One video showed a crammed pool where vacationers lounged close together without masks, St Louis station KMOV-TV reported.

In West Virginia, ATV riders jammed the vast, 700-mile Hatfield-McCoy network of all-terrain vehicle trails on the first weekend it was allowed to reopen since the outbreak took hold. Campgrounds and cabins were opened, as well.

"We truly appreciate getting to reopen," Jeff Lusk, executive director of the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Authority, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail. "Being able to open now will help our trail businesses recove

Not illegal, but it can be against company policy. I used to work for a place that had a no tips rule. In the off-chance refusing the tip would lead to a bad customer service situation, we had to give the tip to Loss Prevention; that was rare, it only happened to me once in 4ish years.

When I go hiking/camping I would pick up other people's trash but now I'm not doing that. Since this started in Dec I've only been out (hiking or camping) 4 times total and each time I pass trash my brain screams to pick it up but I don't and for the rest of the trip I want to turn around and pick it up. My "plan" for doing this when at a campsite going forward is bringing a pair of gloves and giving each site a once over before I leave and having a special garbage bag just for those items, I've not figured out how I can pick up litter while hiking tho. I'm open to ideas because gloves wouldn't be practical nor would using a tissue to pick stuff up as it might be all wet n poo poo
