My sister-in-law has to buy her own PPE and even had to put up a bunch of plastic sheets to separate her classroom. She's supposed to be "reimbursed" for it eventually, but I doubt that's gonna happen. There's no way they're gonna install new ventilation and stuff.

I'm gonna guess that GOP senators will scream about the cost and block it and ol' Sleepy Biden will go "Well I could have fixed this problem but those penny pinching Republicans wouldn't let me so everyone goes back to remote learning! Don't blame me, I wanted to open them schools right up!" E: also Trump really fucks up the economy in the next 2.5 months so there's no money left for schools so Biden goes "Hey I can save the schools if you let me take some $$$$ out of the military budget, whaddya reckon?" and the entire country goes "Oh no you can't do that, we'd rather let the schools burn down."

But this wall... it was built to a degree like nobody thought possible, more wall and it's even taller in some places than I thought... and I.... I mean, I designed it. You know, these architects, they come up. And these are guys, the industry calls 'em wall guys, they know walls that well. Ceilings, too, I guess but they... they trained on the walls. Building 'em. And the wall guys show me the drawings, give me the blue prints. And the very first time, you know, I said "This looks good, but what if we did this." And these eggheads, okay, they're looking at the paper and at me and then they go "Wow, we never thought of this." And now the wall? I made it a little taller, okay, a little bit... it's a little bit tougher to climb. And you know, the guys wanna throw the drug bags, but it's too tall for that, now. So I saved a LOTTA lives. But the wall itself it's... I never said... I NEVER SAID only physical, or building. Okay? OKAY? I said it was a series of walls, and the real wall? The true wall, which... I built that. Okay? I designed it with these HUGE HANDS but the real wall is inside of us, and I... I did that.

The worst poo poo is what the government is doing to its people. Their initial response was negligent, unprepared, seemingly not giving a poo poo about the majority of people. Then they aired all their corporate media packs that seemed to be pre-recorded with the idea that 100s of millions of people would be dead and that families would be snuffing each other out for food, extreme social punishment for anything less than perfect positivity and going along with the program, images of rotten food and scarcity, child prostitution, and absolute torrent of antidepressant medicine commercials, these washed out webcam scenes with lower quality cameras than seemingly exist, indicating a new communications platform and media takeover. And then after the fact they want to milk this poo poo for every bit of time they can buy before the public can render judgement on them (can’t bitch about anything if their suggestions still seem to indicate an interest in public safety, which they don’t have whatsoever). They’re just grinding everything to a halt for no logical or statistically justified reason. The guidelines and suggestions are contradictory and border on superstition and ritual with no scientific backing, they scramble to justify guidelines that seem to be made by significantly mentally impaired people and statements that seem to support mass genocide. The riot line is just a gauge of how much pressure they think they can exert on society before the non-disturbed, happy to follow the program people begin demanding the return of society. What we have is a totalitarian takeover and a complete dissolution of our rights over a preventable disaster. None of this is born out of necessity, we’ve gotten through other crises in this country without the fundamental loss of our rights and a government that stands solely to supply us with a disease with no cure. How long are people going to continue to be tricked by the “holy poo poo I’m scared to death” “well just do this and everything will be alright good citizen” routine. No, no the virus isn’t the problem. It’s the government. That’s just one of their deadly tools. They want everyone dead and they’re blowing smoke up our rear end while they try to buy more time.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on this. Masks reduce risk but they're not a 100% guarantee of safety, especially if they're in a room together for an extended period of time. If they're not testing all the classmates they absolutely cannot rule out that one of them passed it along asymptomatically. If you're not seeing an increase in students testing positive in this school setting despite high rates overall (France was higher than the US until recently) it would indicate that there's pretty limited transmission in schools among students. Of course there's not a 100% guarantee of safety (not sure when this became the standard for anything?), but it's a pretty positive indicator that we won't see huge issues when schools do re-pen. As I posted earlier, whenever schools do reopen it will be with 0% of the students vaccinated so if transmission is minimal that will go a long ways of removing a vector for people who aren't vaccinated (whether by choice or medical necessity) being infected by kids.

Your rhetoric seems sincere but it is wrong. The world is complicated, society is complicated. Governance is complicated- as a species, we suck at it a lot because we're selfish and skittish and dumb. Your government is not trying to kill you, it's just very bad at doing what it's supposed to be doing, especially right now (but also always).

Navajo Nation is getting hit hard by COVID  https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/24/health/navajo-nation-coronavirus-losses-wellness/index.html quote:Since the pandemic began up until November 22, the Navajo Nation has had 15,039 cases out of its population of 173,667 from the 2010 census, which means this hard-hit population has over 8,659 cases per 100,000 people. The "big towns" up there like Tuba City are only 8500 people. Most people live in teeny communities with terrible roads and poor access to electricity and water. For a lot of them, medical care is far away, poor quality, or both. 8.7% infection rate is devastating. quote:When people are able to watch the news, Navajo Nation residents like Chenoa Begaye, a senior at Chinle High School and Mix's daughter, say it's a challenge convincing their older population to listen. The attitude of "the feds are lying to you and don't have your best interests in mind" that a lot of Americans have is more widespread and more extreme in Indigenous communities for obvious reasons.

poo poo is getting rougher here in East TN. Went to best buy today to get my curbside pickup for stuff I got online, and the whole store was blocked off. Had a guy at a tent telling everyone that their store had 14 cases of COVID in employees in the last few days, and they are only doing curbside for online orders, or they would go and pick an item for you if you knew what it was, and pay at the tent area. This was causing some serious tension outside, mainly from what I saw was people over 50, who were getting very mouthy and threatening towards the best buy people, cause they wanted in for their deals. I really worry about how Thanksgiving and Black Friday is gonna go, not just for COVID, but also violence too.

The biggest government failing is not taxing the obscenely rich and megacorporations, and using that money to pay people to stay home and bail out small businesses. There's more than enough money to do it, they're all just cowards afraid of losing votes.

Now that we're under the restrictions again (but less severe than before), pickup is back to curbside only, but they allow a small number of people indoors for browsing and buying. I live in a deeply red part of San Diego and shockingly everyone is pretty chill with this because they went through it before. It's a shame that a lotta folks across the country are just now seeing major distruptions to how their lives work instead of getting used to all this back in the spring.

Instead we upped our contributions to the local food bank since we've been financially lucky through this pandemic, and a lot of people are going to need food this winter. That's the normal human response to your neighbors being in distress by the way, not acting like some hoarde is going to loot your goon cave.

Having my stuff brought out to me and placed in my trunk is great. Free personal shopping and they gotta complain about it. I got my parents to try it, and my Dad said something like "I might never walk into a Target again." I'm guessing the complainers can't figure out how to use it. It is new and confusing, and probably scary for them. I hated using online pickup with most stores, they often have the pickup all the way in the back, and they don't have a good system to find your order. But now stores have been forced to adapt, and they are getting better. The stores who get people on board with their system will come out of this with a reputation for good service.

Im safety manager for an industrial contractor, so some of the sites/mills/plants actually do require you to wear them as soon as you go indoors. I appreciate those sites so much more cause at that point I have the ability to remove people from site for being idiots. The main corporate company that I am apart of though does not enforce it at all, which ties my hands at other sites.

All customers wear masks, which is required by state mandate. If someone comes in without a mask a supervisor quickly provides them with one. I haven't seen a customer walking around the store maskless since the mandate began.

I can only offer anecdotal comments, but I am a high school teacher and have been back to work since November 1st. Masks are enforced everywhere except the classroom, classrooms are aired out every class, there is hand sanitizer literally everywhere and classes are sequestered as well as possible. So far one teacher has caught the roni and one class is quarantined because a student got it, but the numbers are way lower than I was expecting, especially given that students here are allowed to go maskless in class.
