Casimir Radon posted:

I think things will get better soon in areas where the state and local government isn't incompetent and realized they couldn't count on the federal government. Of course if we suddenly get all complacent things could get really bad.

i am unable to believe that the governments and people of every state will remain consistently vigilant for the bare minimum two years it will take for a vaccine to be produced, and thus expect rolling patchwork waves of death and half-hearted temporary shutdowns, paired of course with an absolutely titanic economic depression

Yep. I’m very worried about the chuds going “See? It wasn’t so bad” and going back to their old behaviors immediately.

this is not just a chud thing. most people need to work to eat, and everyone has trouble understanding abstract dangers.

Ah very cool. Glad Bernard waited until after people risked their lives to vote for him yesterday to drop out.

(I get that he likely stayed in to make sure people showed up for the important down ballot race, namely the state Supreme Court race, but this is just another kick in the dick. I am so, so tired)

he didn't drop out, he'll still be on the ballot in every state, he'll still go to the convention, but he doesn't want people to give him their money or work for his election when, well, *gestures expansively*

sometime last month i became convinced that, barring very dramatic turns of events, trump would win against any democratic candidate running. with that, dickwaving over how ethical your vote is and how unethical other people's are seems even grosser than it used to.

Legally it counts because back before WWI a lot of states had "Winchester laws" to keep poor/black people from having access to them.

I'd like to think the people would be horrified if they saw the conditions in a modern meat packing plant, but I would just be disappointed that they are not.

of course a lot of them would, but changing or limiting meat production would make some people some less money, so the headwind to get anything done about it would be fierce

as evidence that people do change consumption habits on new information see:
