how long can we spend every day, like sailors in an asian whorehouse? The inflation will be staggering...
Also, don't forget we will get a facist government.

Look around. We're in the opposite of an inflationary crash. We're looking at potential deflation.
Inflation makes rich people poor, and makes life easier for those in debt. Deflation makes rich people richer, and screws over everyone that owes money.

We're probably closer to a civil war than a reign of terror. There aren't any cult of personality based leaders on the left, at least not prominent ones.
We do, however, have gun nuts storming government buildings while armed.

That would be MIs open carry laws. One can walk armed (unconcealed with lawful intent). Minute you go into a car, thats considered concealed. This is some funny shit, unfortunately homeboy didn't get blown away.

Yeah, that "lawful intent" thing is ridiculous. Haven't looked into it, but does that override places that ban guns?

This morning I read the Maryland capital building was full of protesters with rifles and handguns, but they don't allow protest signs. All the amendments are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Starfire! Welcome back, man. I haven't seen you around in forever. Let's go ahead and reopen, fuck it.
I agree with the whole "this is unconstitutional and a threat to our freedom" argument. It's a good argument. I also think millions will die as a result of reopening (including many of our relatives), but people seem determined to have their freedom, and I'm not the kind of guy who says no to people asking for freedom. They have a point, their freedom is being infringed against, and it would be easy for many countries to use this to turn themselves into a police state with something like this.
I like the fact that even against a fucking pandemic americans would rather have freedom than live overall. Maybe that's as stupid as it sounds, but there's also something really beautiful and cool there too.

I'm all for letting people catch the virus if they like, but the main problem is that they'll then infect older, sicker people who are more likely to die from it.

I was wondering what line you'd take on this considering that putin is against reopening. Despite being a dictator, Putin is actually a really smart dude, he brought up Sparta and how the spartans used to kill the weak, and how that didn't help them survive in the long run, and that it was against the Russian character and ethos to not take care of the elderly etc. It was a good speech. Actually I was kinda surprised that he took the line of not reopening given how popular reopening has become with the right in america, who he generally supports, and given the cost to him and russia power wise and politically of staying closed.

I don't know why you think Putin generally supports the right in America.
But I did say this about him.
Unlike the US, he's looking out for his people more than he's looking out for his billionaires.

actually, the only thing is the state governeors to allow infected people into the old homes/nurse homes, etc.
In new Mexico, at the death are in if Ican remember--in the Life Care Center in Farmington New Mexico. That is the problem. I think Mr Ventilator did the same thing (Cuomo). He allowed infected people taken in old peoples homes/nursing homes.
And now Mr Ventilator is blaming nursing homes for not being careful.
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.

Edit: foot in mouth
Many people in nursing homes leave every day for dialysis, cancer treatments, and many other necessary treatments. Many also need direct hands-on care at all hours of the day/night, requiring many different staff members. There is no realistic way to protect nursing homes individually, without a huge increase in funding and testing, neither of which the current administration supports.

The Weimar Republic came into existence after the post WW1 German leftist ‘revolution’ was put down by the Friekorps. A feckless liberal government with no mandate by the people, held together tenuously by various business interests, eventually gave way to a far right demagogue because the interests of capital will always side with authoritarianism rather than cede money and power to the people.
OP is right. We are Weimar Germany. Can’t wait until the rest of our liberal institutions crumble from years of turning their back on the working class, and people turn to a far right demagogue who promises them to return America to its former glory through racism and nationalism. Trump is just the beginning.

I drive by this nursing home a couple times a month. 22 dead from corona.
That must be a horror show for the staff and other residents there, that many deaths from something they're all exposed to in such a short time period. There will be a lot of PTSD when this is over, for a variety of reasons.
I think in MA it's now pushing 60% of deaths are in nursing homes and long term care facilities.
They had 20 national guard guys dressed like astronauts go in and do testing at one of the facilities. Turns out they ended up bringing the virus into the place and causing an outbreak that led to deaths., so that method seems to have stopped.
I'm surprised prisons aren't getting hit harder, the deaths seem fairly low but who knows how they're treating the sick. Right now it seems pretty consistent that age and obesity are the most common risk factors.
Somehow my 91 year old great aunt (I've never met her) in a nursing home with COPD and congestive heart failure is diagnosed with it and seems to have beat it pretty easily, while my 30 year old healthy cousin did 6 nights in a hospital and still can barely walk/breathe 6 weeks after being diagnosed.

Trump wont let anyhing bad happen, be's doing his best and his best is doing a good job considering the circumstances. Couple more weeks and we're all going back to work like this never happened. Hoping they keep the lines to get into grocery stores, though. Its pleasant not shopping in a crowded Costco.

Most Americans are against reopening. Me, I just wish the bar was open. I have only one person to hang out with after working 50 something hours every week. We are definitely doing too much drugs, but it's a drug that makes you drink less, so it's kind of a health drug.

Or not.
That article references a study that has not even gone through peer review. Matter of fact, it wasn't even tested. It's based entirely on a computation model that has yet to be confirmed via experimentation, and the computational model itself has yet to undergo peer review.
The truth is very simple:
Absolutely nobody knows what's going on. Not a single person in the world. Nobody is equipped to know how to deal with this, apart from the obvious quarantine and mass cremations of anyone that coughs.

Or not.
That article references a study that has not even gone through peer review. Matter of fact, it wasn't even tested. It's based entirely on a computation model that has yet to be confirmed via experimentation, and the computational model itself has yet to undergo peer review.
The truth is very simple:
Absolutely nobody knows what's going on. Not a single person in the world. Nobody is equipped to know how to deal with this, apart from the obvious quarantine and mass cremations of anyone that coughs.
Nobody is going to wait for peer review. This life and death, not academia. It involved teams at three high level research centers. They analyzed data on thousands of RNA sequences of the virus and concluded that it's mutating, and the mutation is making it more virulent. That has probably dire consequences for the creation of a vaccine.
Any study can only provide a piece of the puzzle. Not all biological research is experimental. I find your comments puzzling.

If his opponent did not exclusively need a drool cup, I would agree with you.

He does need a drool cup. But nobody is going to blame the deaths or economic collapse on him, and both of those are going to get a lot worse. Maybe the former and definitely the latter will go on for years.

We will see my friend, whatever the outcome, this will be one of the stupidest and ill elections in my lifetime. The base of support for both seem to have become caricatures of themselves. Im fired up for Biden. Oh wait, here comes Trumpy! The denouement is paralyzing suspense.

The democratic party is total make believe mode right now. Though Brian may be right that Biden's not using a drool cup just yet, he is CLEARLY unfit to be president based on his cognitive decline.
I hate Trump, and I hate the DNC even more for all the cheating they've done.

At least a judge said they can't cheat in New York. Vote Bernie, and keep your fingers crossed that they won't lose your ballot. There's no way to verify the votes are counted properly like they have in other countries, like Russia.

I think Trump's second term will be a doozy. He'll go balls out and give eveeyone who wronged him in Washington a cleveland steamer.
I really want a mote with gators along the southern border. Then maybe we invade canada. That would be fantastic, I cant stand Canadians.

I'd laugh my arse off if Trudeau said he's building a wall and he's making the U.S. pay for it. That'd make great T.V.
Canada's a great place, the people are friendly, their beer is good, weed is plentiful, the cops don't shoot you. I don't see a problem

Given Trump's actions since this crisis started, Biden could shit himself during the debate and go offstage to change his depends and still win. He just needs to let everyone know who his cabinet, advisors and VP will be and then get certified braindead.
In many pictures it appear trump is the one wearing depends but it may just be a girdle.

nooneman said: Starfire! Welcome back, man. I haven't seen you around in forever. Let's go ahead and reopen, fuck it.
I agree with the whole "this is unconstitutional and a threat to our freedom" argument. It's a good argument. I also think millions will die as a result of reopening (including many of our relatives), but people seem determined to have their freedom, and I'm not the kind of guy who says no to people asking for freedom. They have a point, their freedom is being infringed against, and it would be easy for many countries to use this to turn themselves into a police state with something like this.
I like the fact that even against a fucking pandemic americans would rather have freedom than live overall. Maybe that's as stupid as it sounds, but there's also something really beautiful and cool there too.
Ooh I want the freedom to kill people too I didn't know you just had to ask

LBJ got us quagmired in Viet Nam but the War on Poverty/Great Society was a step forward. LBJ was picked by JFK because he was the most powerful man in the Senate. Nixon was a snake and a paranoid, but he was an intelligent man, not that he always showed it. He initiated our talks with China and USSR when previously it had been nuclear sabre rattling with no communication.
LBJ and Nixon would have destroyed W or Trump in a debate.
