The MAGA CHUD owner sent out another communique later telling us to wear our masks and it's for our protection, so he was right and that's cool, but in that one he said "government intervention is BY FAR the greatest challenge this company faces" so I wasn't sure whether to ask him what his problem with Trump, our Republican mayor and Ron Desantis are, the PPP money he got or...what exactly but reading that was horrifying and I can't afford to rock my loving Bigger Boat right now, so to speak, much as I'd love to write back and RIse Up.

I'm pretty sure "the government" to these people is the civil service, and they are horrible leeches who exist to wrap everything up in red tape, and if we would just get out of their way, all these "wealth creators" like your CHUD owner who probably inherited everything he's worth, would just be creating "wealth" left and right.

I have a friend who works at a petrol station and, as of tonight, masks are mandatory in his state.

But - staff have been told they are not allowed to ask people why they're not wearing a mask, or tell them to put one on.

As insane as that sounds, my friend point out that the reasoning is that they consider the risk of coronavirus to be less dangerous than the risk of someone losing their poo poo, wreaking up the place, or trying to attack them.

poo poo's just that loving stupid right now.

They're probably right, I think 2 people at least have been killed for trying to make people wear masks who were required to.

also worth noting that Elizabeth warren stayed in the race exactly long enough that Biden was presumptive nominee and the progressive vote was still split then dropped out.

trump voters realizing their church is going to die under trump

QAnon: The alternative religion that’s coming to your church

Mark Fugitt, senior pastor of Round Grove Baptist Church in Miller, Missouri, recently sat down to count the conspiracy theories that people in his church are sharing on Facebook. The list was long. It included claims that 5G radio waves are used for mind control; that George Floyd’s murder is a hoax; that Bill Gates is related to the devil; that masks can kill you; that the germ theory isn’t real; and that there might be something to Pizzagate after all.

“You don’t just see it once,” said Fugitt. “If there’s ever anything posted, you’ll see it five to 10 times. It’s escalating for sure.”
...
“My fear … is that Jesus would not be co-opted by conspiracy theories in a way that leads the next generation to throw Jesus out with the bathwater,” Stacy said, “that we’re not able to separate the narrative of taking back our country from Jesus’ kingdom narrative.”

Others are concerned the theories will become grounds for more mistrust. “Young people are exiting the church because they see their parents and mentors and pastors and Sunday school teachers spreading things that even at a young age they can see through,” said Jeb Barr, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Elm Mott outside Waco, Texas. He said conspiracy theories are “extremely widespread and getting worse” among his online church networks.

“Why would we listen to my friend Joe … who’s telling me about Jesus who also thinks that Communists are taking over America and operating a pedophile ring out of a pizza restaurant? … Why would we be believed?”

it’s funny because Qanon is probably more credible than the Jesus myth and the way most Americans churches treat it frankly where Jesus is somehow a white American is decidedly more absurd. and these pastors don’t ask if indoctrinating people with a ridiculous theory and teaching them faith over facts somehow made them more influencable with absurd notions.

anti-union people who benefit from unions exist. they either think that they'd be getting just as good a deal without the union or, more often, they don't think about where their good situation comes from and just default to anti-unionism because of cultural indoctrination

Part of the problem is you see your pay like this

$10 - pay
-1 - Union dues
-2 - taxes
___________
$7 - net

when it should be

$5 - base pay
+$5 - benefits from union
-$1 - union dues
-2 - taxes
___________
$7 - net

My roommate is in a union and he loves to bitch about the fee and how nobody can ever be fired and the union this and union that. Given he's been fired like twice in the last 2 years at non-union jobs ... I mean I dunno. I always say "yes but if no union then?"

Though the worst is companies like fedex, whose employees basically get union pay and benefits to compete with UPS but don't have a union so don't have to support the union.

I still find it fascinating that Trump changed the rules that govern citizenship for children born to US service members on foreign bases but didn't get any real backlash from the military for it.

Neither Republicans nor most military members that are rah rah GOP really give a poo poo about the reality of how the parties interact with the military. Honestly the GOP is basically anti-military in their policies, they rarely give raises to service members and frequently do things to gently caress them over. They are big on defense appropriations to pay for defense contracters that they will definitely not go to work for as lobbyists after they are no longer in Congress.

There's a semi-obscure sci-fi comedy series called Avenue 5 that came out almost a year ago. And there's one scene from it that has come to my mind over and over and over since the pandemic started.

The setup: there's a futuristic cruise liner making a trip around Saturn and back, but things have gone horribly wrong. And lately, a rumor has gotten around among the passengers that they aren't even in space at all, that it's all just a trick for some kind of reality show. And so things come to a head near the main airlock...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skXaeucDYHo

I would have rolled my eyes at this scene if I hadn't seen it just as everything was blowing up in real life and so many people kept insisting upon being as stupid as was humanly possible.

Aghast at the potential for justice, our legal system had the wisdom to make it nearly impossible to convict a politician for bribery.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up is what I’m saying

I think the political class as a whole is good at sensing when they have to sacrifice one of their own to appease and placate people who are outraged.

Like, it's one of the things I hate so much about a Biden presidency. Biden is only good in comparison to Trump. It's a poo poo sandwich vs being placed into a dumpster fire. Eating a poo poo sandwich sounds great when it's an escape from burning to death in flaming garbage. But what do you think Joe "peace in our time" Biden is going to do? "Work with" the Republicans. Part of why Trump got elected was racism, but part of it was Hillary's message was pretty much "well things are good for me and other rich people, so become a coder if you're a 55 year old with no equity and debts and no education".

The problem is we're all going to die, not just the Trump supporters.

I think it's more that the DNC offered her the post-Obama nomination in exchange for shutting the gently caress up when her campaign started throwing dirt at Obama in an attempt to regain the lead. The Democratic Party is technically a private organization, so they could legally screw Sanders over in their effort to keep their bargain with Clinton. Which is too bad, he'd have beat Trump, likely by a lot.

My Qex still lives with me because we broke up only four weeks ago, right after Moderna #1, which I did not tell him about at the time due to multiple huge fights on the vaccination topic as well as the rest of the Quniverse of conspiracies he believes and I don't. Since the breakup things are mostly cordial while he arranges to move out, and finally he asked me if I got the vaccine and I answered truthfully. So he knew I was scheduled for Moderna #2 today.

He came to me excited this morning, confirming that I was still going in for my second shot, and says he wanted to try a scientific experiment. (He couched it as science knowing I would agree with that angle.) I knew what was coming but played dumb for a while because I wanted to see how he would explain it to me.

Anyway, we agreed we would try the magnet test on my freshly vaccinated arm as soon as I got back. He got a magnet, I removed the bandaid and cleaned the adhesive residue off my arm, he put the magnet on my arm and...

The magnet fell to the floor.

We tried it a couple of times but the magnet had no desire to stay on my arm.

You would think this would cause him to re-evaluate the reliability of his sources, but apparently not.

It's only been a few hours and so far I feel fine. We'll see how I fare in the next day or so. Anyway I wanted to share this amusing anecdote with you all.

Is the vaccine supposed to turn you into magneto? If it really had a microchip it wouldn't let you attach a magnet even if Bill Gates was watching your every move.
