Continuing coronavirus happenings (Part 1)

BBC is playing down the story in its headline again. It should read- “UK government ignores its own scientific advisors; is surprised at subsequent infection rates”

“ Philadelphia is looking to expand a $1.7 million pandemic relief fund for workers into a longer-term cash assistance program for struggling renters in the city.

Launched in July with an infusion from liberal financier George Soros, Philly’s Worker Relief Fund was designed to help people left out of federal and state coronavirus stimulus benefits. According to numbers recently released by city officials, the no-strings-attached cash assistance went to more than 2,100 city residents who did not qualify for previous aid packages.”

That can’t be right - I keep hearing that this Soros guy is evil incarnate.

Well, honestly, “Worker’s Relief Fund” just sounds like a communist plot, doesn’t it? Just goes to show how evil Soros is! (/s)

How dare he deny people the freedum of being homeless and living on the streets with winter coming.

The denier had already annoyed Peters by trying to ask more than his one allotted question, so the lawmaker didn’t hold back in his response to the man. “Sit down, sit down,” said the deputy prime minister. “We’ve got someone who obviously got an education in America—220,000 people have died in the U.S., there are eight million cases to date.”

Peters added: “We’ve got 79,000 cases just today, probably in India, and here is someone who gets up and says ‘the Earth is flat.’” The deputy PM then witheringly told the man: “Sorry, sunshine, wrong place.”

Inevitably, the man didn’t realize that he’d been resoundingly humiliated in public and tried to respond to what Peters had said, but he was told: “Quiet, we have manners at our meetings as well.”

I apologize to the world. Our contagion seems to be spreading. I heard an interview on NPR with a British Qanon believer, now this. We really need to be quarantined for the good of all.

You’re making assumptions about the presence of fingers, but whatever. Every challenge is an opportunity, blah blah blah.

Not so fast, we all have crazies who look to the US for inspiration, I mean they literally do. But if I was looking to the US for inspiration I’d be trying to play jazz or fly to the moon or something. These cunts are getting inspired by the stupidest shit. I don’t think the US needs accept the blame. Arseholes gonna arsehole, ours just aren’t even original.

Yeah, in retrospect there is always enough assholery to go around, we just seem to be having a “peak asshole experience” at the moment. Still feels shitty.
