I think you mean allowing state and local governments to go into bankruptcy so that they can kill the unions and enforce austerity

As long as cop unions are a target, this can be bipartisan! (They will be the sole union exempt from this)

i don't care who calls me crazy there WILL be another "lockdown", de facto if not de jure

it won't need to be directed by the government

when the hospitals get overwhelmed and the bodies start stacking, people will get scared and stay home

and if the gov doesn't give them $$$ to eat, the subsequent protests and riots will dwarf the george floyd protests

or there will be a massive spin campaign to blame the george floyd protests on the recent spikes (complete misinformation) and 'force' trump to crackdown with extreme military force on any protests. state governments on the verge of bankruptcy will be forced to keep things open and no bailouts will be coming from anywhere. riots will be quashed with extreme and very public shows of force

Well the Chud Governor Ron Desantis has pretty much done this
-All gyms and other public gathering places have already opened up in May
-Biggest tourist traps opened in June
-Disney is planning to open up in early July
-The Florida state government is already doing damage control saying the spike in numbers is called by foreigners/Immigrant farm workers, not as a result of state policy
-The company I work for said Coronavirus is solved and is trying to force more people to return by June

quote:

I do think you’re starting to see more people in the public that are interested in getting tested so that is a good thing to be doing,” DeSantis said.

However, DeSantis also attributed the new cases to farm workers or long-term care facilities.

“I think the No. 1 outbreak we’ve seen is in the agriculture communities,” he said. “There was just a big case dump in North Central Florida there was a watermelon farm. You’ve had farm communities in Collier, Palm Beach, Martin, Levy, Hendry, and what happens is these are workers that are working close together once one gets it, it tends to spread very rapidly throughout those areas.”

DeSantis said the state is concerned about farm workers who begin to leave around this time of year for work in other states.

“We’re talking with some of the other states to let them know,” he said. “We also have our Department of Health is working with our agriculture, our growers to mitigate any of the spread.”

re: grocery bag chat

here in CT we banned single use plastic but since the rona showed up we're off that and nobody cares anymore, most stores banned home-brought bags and the stores are all using either plastic or reeeeeallly thin lovely cheap paper ones without handles that just rip and tear apart the moment you try to move them

I’ve been privy to some meetings with the Federal Reserve and there is a critical shortage of coin in the supply chain as a result of Covid -19. The US Mint is taking a reactionary position to notifying the public, rather than proactive. coin supply is being rationed to Financial Institutions in the US beginning today.

it doesn't matter who they blame it on, people will get scared once things get really bad and their local hospitals stop working.

imho this doomy kinda stuff was a lot more feasible before the floyd protests showed that "gently caress no the army is not opening fire on US citizens". idk where the extreme and public show of force is gonna come from? the cops? lol

the military is not going to turn the country into syria so trump can win reelection. it's loving terrible for business. american capitalism has tempered its vicious edge to save itself from destruction before (new deal) and its gonna have to do it again.

absolutely nobody in the current ruling class is mentally prepared to push a new deal through, the collective response to now 2 weeks of police violence protests and 3 months of manufactured famine + unchecked pandemic spread is to give Trump more money w/o oversight and to kneel in Solidarity. they're going to push the social order to the edge bc they absolutely do not understand what is happening, still.

i don't know if we'll get a new new deal, kushner and co might be happy to let poo poo fall apart

but we'll have to disagree on the response to the protests. i think its pretty clear they spooked the poo poo out of the ruling class and they're already tossing lots of scraps to the wolves at their gates

i think we are just 100% hosed until there's a vaccine. even states that did well at flattening the curve are opening up, so it was all for nothing. poo poo's gonna rise again. i think the blue states will have more appetite to lockdown again but a ton of red states are just gonna stick their heads in the sand and write op eds about 'AMERICANS ARE WARRIORS WHO WILL DIE FOR THE ECONOMY' and cases will continue to soar. we're going to be a country with various %'s in and out of lockdown until there's a vaccine and even then we have to hope the anti vaxxers aren't able to gently caress us out of herd immunity

How the gently caress have so many people convinced themselves that 'masks optional' is a reasonable compromise and not just completly giving in to the people that refuse to wear masks and a big gently caress you to everyone else?

Lmao so, I had to schedule this stupid coronavirus test but come to find out that Georgia doesn't test on the weekends so because I couldn't make the next and last test at 3pm I have to wait until Monday morning


And I spiked a low fever of 99.1°, my BP shot up to 133/99, and my resting heart rate is 100 when it's normally 70ish. Not sure if I want to play this game of "reality" anymore and would like a refund, please
