it's frustrating to watch trump gently caress up badly because it might actually matter for once, but Bernie will be the only one to actually fix anything systematically wrong. Biden won't even be in charge of presidency. Summers, his VP, and Shadow President Obama will be running the show and they have no loving idea what to do.

no they know what to do, it's just that their goal is to stop rich people from having to give poor people anything at all. nothing else matters. they are wildly successful and will continue to be given the reigns of power by the rich as a result

New Zealand's lockdown is about 30 hours away from lifting to the extent that we will be allowed to go get takeaways. There's been actual news articles about what mcdonald's and kfc will and won't have on their menus.

Was delivery an option? Aus never went that far and our per capita rate seems similar.

Everytime I step outside there are so many people on the street and in the grocery store under my building. I swear my area somehow got more vibrant? Probably because it's all residential towers. Meanwhile the CBD where I work is dead.

I use it prescription for occasional rare situations and it works well for that. At one point I did get kind of addicted to it though and it was a pain in the rear end to stop and I didn't find anything pleasant about the feeling after taking it.

makes you not worried at all about anything though, you don't care

Nah no hot food delivery for the last 4 and a half weeks. Apart from meals on wheels type stuff.

Just groceries and essential items (warm clothes, blankets, toiletries, kitchen appliances, phones, computers).

I used to take Xanax as needed eight years ago. Since then, nothing has worked as well, but even now I can see how easy it is to get addicted to that poo poo. I'd love to have more but I can't in good conscience allow myself down that road no matter how loving good it felt, as I can't afford the negative consequences of such an addiction. :smith:

I should mention I'm agoraphobic with social anxiety. I've been working 5 years at a grocery store now and that has helped me be far more social, but I do all I can to avoid conflict because I break under pressure.

if picking up some candy with the rest of the groceries makes someone happier/more likely to stay at home, that sounds reasonable to me

Booze. Unquestionably essential. I have some lovely black gin right now.


On the other hand our toilet flush pipe sprang a leak and a replacement flush pipe wasn't one of the essential items the hardware store was selling online, and we didn't feel like paying for a plumber so we bogged it up with silicone sealant.

Xanax is the worst one when it comes to abusability, im not sure how its even possible to get a legit prescription for them here anymore. Valium is better if you really want to go down this path.

Most people have forgotten that now. He's more popular than ever because he hasn't hosed up the virus response and has worked with state premiers and first ministers well to do a co-ordinated response.
I was surprised by how well he's handling this considering how badly he hosed up the bushfire response. I guess he learnt from it.

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.

clothe masks/bandanas are accepted for mask-requirements

if you have an actual nice mask like a n95, you can re-use them with proper care, probably for at least a month if you keep them clean

We had it a happening with the Chinese population here a long time before roni so it wasn't unheard of and it's still not the majority. Going full face covering now though won't get you a second glance though no matter who / where you are. Well maybe in a bank but I haven't tried that one and am not in a rush to see.
