The current version has a nasty virus.

Well - he’s not wrong about the three conference calls a day. Even when you’re not technically working.

Meanwhile, my landlords sent me this yesterday:

“Engage with Centrelink”.

It took over a year for Centrelink to approve my disability pension. The first time they denied it they did it without anyone from the agency ever speaking to me. The forms required for the application were a stack of paper about half an inch thick. The required medical reports took months to assemble and significant expense. My disability makes it difficult to write legibly; I had to get my Dad rewrite the forms for me.

In my entire time of dealing with them, I have never once managed to get anyone to answer the disability support phone line (it’s permanently engaged). Using the alternative route of phoning the feedback line inevitably involves an hour+ on hold, and often requires multiple calls. All of this was before Coronavirus hit the system.

Are you thinking Rosanne Barr? Rosie O’Donnell is one of his twitter targets for her outspoken views.

This topic is temporarily closed for at least 4 hours due to a large number of community flags.

Speaking as a member of the community here; if you feel the compulsion to write some eugenics crap or talk about how the global pandemic will be good because of [something], DO IT IN SOME OTHER THREAD. This is a valuable thread for the community to keep up with news from all over the world and has responses from experts who are fighting misinformation, much of which is coming from our respective governments.

When someone shitposts here, it gets flagged. When enough flags accumulate, the thread gets locked. You can start your own thread to say that you and your buddies are going to throw a Coronavirus party. Keep this thread clean.

I got the same thing in the mail today. What the fuck.

Can you imagine the outrage over getting a “President Obama’s Ebola Guidelines for America” mailer? And of course Trump hasn’t recommended any of these things. He’s constantly contradicting these guidelines!
