Havenā€™t checked the numbers, doesnt seem necessary for the point to hold true about what a dystopia the U.S. already was.

Unfortunately, yes. That happened in my state, and some of the fuckwits involved are even bragging on Twitter.

The fuckwits didnā€™t just block the streets-- they blocked a hospital entrance with their protesting.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but to impede the function of a hospital, especially during a pandemic, is a horribly callous and malicious move, and I have no sympathy for them (not like I would have before I knew that, but still.)

Please believe me-- not all of us from Michigan are this fucking stupid.

Not sure about the others but listing the US stimulus package numbers as only $1200 is either disingenuous or naive. The numbers are more complicated than this. Like making unemployment available to independent contractors and the paycheck protection plan that offers forgivable loans to cover rent utilities and payroll for two months.
The failure is in the rollout, not the intent.

Itā€™s very likely that Musk just straight up fucking lied about the ventilators.

Oh, and heā€™s on Trumpā€™s Reopening America Committee alongside fellow union-busting asshole Vince McMahon.

Iā€™m really excited to see how Muskā€™s bootlickers try and convince themselves that Elon is a good guy.

Wow, much generous, so good and easy ways to take care of everyone who not fucking rich. (Not)

The failure is in the rollout, not the intent.

The intent? The intent is to keep the proles in their ā€œproperā€ place, and too tired, anxious and busy to realize whose boot is on their necks. Thatā€™s been the real intent for a long time, probably ever since this country started.

I was so proud of the red part of my state, for helping us all flatten the curve because the GOP governor & lt. governor said so, but I should have known. The stupid, it goes deep.

Word; I take no pride in being a native Ohioan when I witness batshit-crazy foolishness like that - instead, it makes me grateful I that I movedā€¦

Only making it known that there multiple streams of funds out there. If anyone is hard up right now and trying to make ends meet they should know the $1200 is not the only assistance available. The system is fractured and confusing enough without people on the internet spreading false facts.

Also most independent contractors and small business do not classify as ā€œfucking richā€.

Speaking of, has anyone even bothered to see if the other 94 N masks are as hard to come by? :roll_eyes:

Itā€™s true that a lot (but far from all) people will be eligible for unemployment insurance, but thatā€™s pretty close to minimum wage, not a significant percent of most peopleā€™s incomes, and certainly wonā€™t cover health insurance.
