There's a pandemic on the go mate.
You sound like the isolation is getting to you, hence the outpouring of drivel. Stay safe Robert. Try and get some air and clear your head.

AOC:

To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs).

Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon.

Wall St gets $4T

Don’t check in here very often. Isolating with family, working from home, 5 year old pre-school son with autism in one bedroom apartment, company-wide salary cuts by 20%. Still have a job and health insurance, wondering how long I will be able to say that. Almost bought a Drifter Les Paul copy guitar on eBay the other day, glad I passed it up now.

Horrors playing out across healthcare systems, scale will increase continuously

oh that was an awesome video, thanks

i'm sorry things are tough, but with a job and health insurance it's a "count your blessings" scenario i think. also the fact that you're in a one bedroom apartment not keeping a mcmansion is a very good thing. yes a 20% cut is tough but not a mortal wound.

maybe too soon to talk about this, but you might find it helpful, so i'll just risk being tactless or tone-deaf and say it anyway in case it's usable: per some financial formulas (eg. elizabeth warren's "balanced money formula") it's good to have your essentials at 50% of take-home pay because that's what unemployment covers. yes i know it's difficult etc. but she's got her reasons, worth listening to, in book form.

and i know timing is perhaps bad, now maybe the budget reviews are happening by surprise, but maybe check out her book if you're curious (title is "all your worth"). it's a good framework, there are others, but for the employed person looking for some financial stability that's what i would recommend. i read mine at the library ages ago, and now libraries are closed but there are probably some *cough* pdf copies floating out there and i don't think she'd mind...

Something to cheer you up from Associated Press:

'Off the charts': Virus hotspots grow in middle America

DETROIT (AP) — The coronavirus continued its unrelenting spread across the United States with fatalities doubling in two days and authorities saying Saturday that an infant who tested positive had died. It pummeled big cities like New York, Detroit, New Orleans and Chicago, and made its way, too, into rural America as hotspots erupted in small Midwestern towns and Rocky Mountain ski havens.

The most anti-science, anti-playbook, anti-healthcare-plan Administration in modern American history will now bumble its way through this crisis.

And they will probably win the next election.

From CNN:
Fact check: Trump makes another round of misstatements during coronavirus briefing

"Misstatements." "Falsehoods." "B.S." LIES is what they are. MOTHER-FUCKING LIES!

LIES, DRIPPING OFF YOUR MOUTH LIKE DIRT
LIES, LIES IN EVERY STEP YOU WALK
LIES, WHISPERED SWEETLY IN MY EAR
LIES, HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?

WHY, WHY YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL?
LIES, LIES, LIES I AIN'T SUCH A FOOL!

FIRE, FIRE UPON YOUR WICKED TONGUE
LIES, LIES, LIES YOU'RE TRYING TO SPOIL MY FUN

LIES, LIES YOU DIRTY JEZEBEL
WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY DON'T YOU GO TO HELL?

LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES
LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES UPON LIES
LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES

Incredibly, even his friends at The New York Post (yes, POST, not Times, and the NY Post's Editorial Board at that) are sick of the fucker:

Trump must stop winging it after panicking tri-state area over coronavirus lockdown

"Please, sir, we all have enough to worry about these days."

Skuj · 03.29.2020, 01:06 PM

You must be so confused in the USA. On one hand, some are warning of the crisis still to come, and the sustained actions that must be taken to flatten the curve. On the other hand, Trump is seen signing papers in crowds huddled together, and is droning on about re-opening the economy really soon. These mixed messages, not to mention the constant lies, will cost lives.

Fauci: millions of cases, up to 200,000 deaths in the United States

Skuj, I share your view that Trump can fuck everything up, or do fuckall, and get reelected anyway, but if the "numbers" (aka PEOPLE) reach that point (that's half WW2, three and a half Vietnams, forty Iraqs, seventy-seven World Trade Centers), he's fucked. The electorate will instinctively need someone to blame and it won't be Xi Jinping or a flying rat.

Skuj · 03.30.2020, 02:30 PM

They will blame Obama.
