Welp, I got canned yesterday and, unless those checks get here by the 15th, my landlord ain’t getting paid. My job wasn’t clinical, but I worked in healthcare. No one is safe, unless you’re a nurse/doctor. I’m thinking about going to work at a hospital, but they don’t even let those workers go home. They put you up in a hotel, most of which is used to house infected patients.  I’d gladly work the double-shifts, nights, w.e., but I’ll go crazy being indoors for what could be months. Plus, I’d probably get COVID and I hear being a smoker increases risk of complications.
I hope Trump flips out and orders everything to reopen. Otherwise, idk how we’ll make it... Yes, I know more people would die, but I’m not exactly in the position to feel guilty about it.

I'm not sure it works that way. If he volunteers, he'll just be one more who dies. It's not like he can take someone else's place.

I’m sorry, but it’s suuuuper hard to be charitable while broke.
My priorities have never shifted so fast lol. I’m an asshole for jumping to self-preservation, but at least I got a good look in the mirror out of it.🤷🏻♂️ Yesterday I was worried about all those poor folks affected by COVID; today I’m worried about making rent.

Oh shit! I assumed I wasn’t eligible cause I was technically on a probationary period (newish job), but it looks like the COVID law even covers temps so I’m golden, right?
Oh man, if you were here I’d kiss you right across your beautiful RBF!

It's a very fine line that separates those that have from those that don't. People call me an asshole because I don't donate to disaster relief. Well, I pay taxes into the disaster relief fund. Not my problem the government decided that trans people using bathrooms was a natural disaster and spent their funding on that.
As Enlil said. Get your unemployment in order, yesterday. It's gonna be a shitty process, it will be demoralizing, and people will likely look at you like human trash while you're getting your paperwork sorted.
It's like telling a group of people that you're quitting smoking. Most will say "oh, cool! good for you!" and move on. A few will look at you with an almost fearful gaze, and quietly say something like "good luck, man". That's how you know who's been a smoker and who hasn't.

Its not like your lazy or decided to leave your job. This is happening to millions of people and getting laid off secondary to a Pandemic is out of your control. You shouldn't feel bad for filing for unemployment in these extreme circumstances.

What the authorities are displaying is ideological zeal: they are punishing a heresy, not a crime.”

Id suggest to Trump that we should scare Mexico with covid 19 propaganda with fake stories about how illegals are dying in concentration camps and we're all happy to see them die. Maybe then they wont keep trying to sneak in.

Mexico already closed the border with the US, because they didn't want people from the US to cross and bring disease.
Turns out Mexico built the wall, and WE paid for it!

That's a movie I haven't seen in a while, and hope to never see again. Especially that one scene where they make a zombie baby.
Feels like that's what it's gonna take to get rid of the boomers, though.
I read an article the other day about how millennials were entitled because they were talking about how another housing crash might actually make houses affordable, and the author thought that was extremely insensitive because boomers like him would lose money on their investments. The whole thing read like a parody, to be honest.

I guess one should start a boomer thread, class warfare or something else?

You will be rid of most of us.
In 2050.
The real problem with affordable houses is that they haven't built many of them the last 40 years. I'm not sure why that is but I'm guessing it's top 1% decision.
