Not enough to compensate for the innocents lost because they had to keep working delivery/grocery/medical or lived in poor communities with high pollution and little medical support.
Now THIS is something to be pissed off at china about… although I suspect a western corporation would seek similar concessions.
Downton Abbey was how the PBS crowd sold themselves on soap operas. The Trump Show is how the PBS crowd sold themselves on Professional “Wrestling”.

Take Him Seriously Then Pretend It Didn’t Happen
Eschaton / by noreply@blogger.com (Atrios) / 6min
I seem to remember some big news that President Deals was going to make OIL PRICES GO UP UP UP (a weird thing to promise, but ok) and it got much media coverage and then oil futures are now negative and haha we know he’s full of shit so we’ll just pretend that didn’t happen and move on to the next bullshit thing he promises.
Oh and people are dying and he’s been lying a lot about that but lol apparently, actually, NOTHING FUCKING MATTERS.
No time like the present to…
Holy shit. There oughta be a law!
Wait, maybe there is a law…
question: are these sorts of “protests” ( i guess i prefer to call them “killing sprees” ) happening in other countries or is this mainly a trumpian thing?
( not asking you specifically really. just wondering in general… )
Saw a link to some in Russia earlier. I would not be surprised if they were funded by some of the same people.
And I don’t mean Putin.
Of course, getting citizens to comply with such orders is another story: In 1918, a San Francisco health officer shot three people when one refused to wear a mandatory face mask. In Arizona, police handed out $10 fines for those caught without the protective gear. But eventually, the most drastic and sweeping measures paid off. source
It’s like it’s all happened before, total Stephen King novel territory.
… or maybe a Tom Clancy novel considering the Trump admin/DeVos connections to the protest movement websites. (edited for clarity)
I would suspect its a joke because of the “If your sick…” part.
However, MAGA chuds have exceeded my capacity for imagination when it comes satire.
I would love to see how they manage that!
Oh, screw you, outgoing conservative leader Andrew Scheer. Just GTFO already and get back to embezzlement or whatever you were doing before politics.
oops, corrected the confusing context, I meant whose kind of novel are we living in
Yeah, it does seem like basic ground-rules of meaning have been thrown out the window these days, I can’t tell if I think that the flyer is serious, a joke, a counter-operation from a non-sympathetic agent or what. But I’m sure that there are some people who will take it seriously and I guess that’s the real concern beyond all the mind games.
Indeed. If it weren’t actually a matter of life and death, I would show up and go around coughing on these guys to get a video of their reactions.
“Dammit, it’s my right to be here and I’m not gonna let any of you libtards stop me!”
