There's not a lot of reason yet to think it is. He's all bluster.

Not to be overly cold, but the long term effect of unchecked coronavirus would seem to be a massive culling of the sickly part of the herd who are a massive drain on resources, both human and financial. Have the "Save the Earth Mother" groups started with roaming sneezing parties yet?

Shocked that Inso0 would go full eugenics? You shouldn't be.

You just don’t get it. It is not just about the people who get sick from the virus.

Basically everyone gets sick and dies if they manage to avoid any of the other ways to die first. That's kinda how this whole party works.

Markksman is worried about the people with easily fixable medical problems dying on the sidewalks out front of the ER because of too many people with COVID-19 inside. That's a valid concern.

Mine is that we're making the wrong "best of the worst" choice in valuing those lives above the literal tens of millions of people who've had their lives potentially derailed in a catastrophic way. Money makes the world go round, and we've just shut off the supply for an enormous subset of the population with no backup plan.

This has to be an "I told you so!" wet dream for the Bros.

What a time to be alive.

Kill them, have the banks buy up their houses, and make them totally dependent on government. Who said there had to be a backup plan?

If nothing else, when the poors start rioting I imagine all the elite progressive leftists are going to discover a newfound appreciation for the law and order that will be protecting them and their property from all the chaos.

Of course the real 1% elites will be bunkered down in NZ, Wyoming, etc. and unreachable by the masses; but the upper-middle class technocrats who are left behind will suddenly discover a new appreciation for policie I am guessing.

They'll be the first ones clamoring for an open rightwing dictatorship. And blaming Trump for why it didn't happen fast enough.

I saw the bail out package proposed and why mail out checks to people that do not need it. Bail out the unemployed and small biz.

If you want an indication of the numbers. Canada recorded 500,000 Employment Insurance claims in this week. That is on 37 million population.

I think the concern is with all the R vs D partisan infighting and competing special interests, it would take so long to work out who to give $$ to and how to go about it, that no one would get any in time to be of any use.

Of course, I imagine a ton of people that could really use $1200 either dont ever pay their taxes or haven't payed their 2018 taxes yet, so a lot of people gonna be missed this way too I imagine.

Evolution denier promotes social Darwinism, more at 11.

with China having no new cases for 2 days now. So does that mean July/August life will go back to normal?

So if china actually managed to get rid of the virus their economy can continue full steam ahead and so with a low oil price while the rest of the world will have their economies crushed for 6-18 months. Chineese hegemony incoming

No, you cannot unring this bell.

Our small rental division has about 260 tenants. I just received the first request for rent deferment.

Until that first sniffle hits.

(R)ejected

You're right, rejected because while the tenant is going to have a hard time, we're also going to have $200,000 in vacancies as a result of this thing. That comes directly off the bottom line.

When I was talking to my buddy yesterday(finance guy) we were talking about how many people were going to be in some pretty rough situations. He'd heard of 1or2 stories of landlords letting people slide and that seemed to be enough to clear his conscience. Won't bother him 1 bit until his job's in jeopardy or directly impacts him in some way. Things are going to get ugly if this drags on too long.

FYP

Unless they reverse lockdowns over the weekend, ****'s about to get real.

Someone from the WI Governor's office contacted my boss today with news that they're planning on announcing a statewide NY-style lockdown this weekend.

The "were those gunshots or fireworks?" game that my neighborhood often plays is about to get way easier.

Ya no doubt. I'm definitely not looking forward to a total lockdown. Guess I better get my **** together and try to stock up some more tomorrow morning.

ok so China is feeding its citizen BS propaganda. Harvin (and yourslef) was making it seem like we were being fed BS propaganda but yall havent been able to actually tell what the BS was.

so I am skeptical of the whole premise.

like where are the americans being led astray. please tell me exactly which reports are garbage.

it really shouldnt be this hard.

inso is 300+lb with all kinds of pre-existing conditions. so its pretty hilarious that he actually thinks he would make even the first cull.

Thank you President Doctor Trump Sir

I was, true story. Then I discovered keto.

Current fat dudes looking for inspiration, here's the recipe:

Steak
Bacon
Eggs
Cheese
Broccoli

Mix and match to your liking, but stay under a reasonable calorie limit. The diet didn't bother me at all, but YMMV.

Throw in some supplements if you want to get cute, but otherwise just enjoy the ride.

I'm 6'7" and at the height of my McGriddle habit, I tipped the scales at 415. At that height, that amount of weight is carried differently, but make no mistake, I was fat. The lowest I've been since is just above 220, but 250 is the sweet spot where I don't look like a cancer patient. BMI charts say even 220 is obese, but I know what I looked like at 220 and that's just hilarious. I recently turned a spare bedroom into a proper home gym, so I'm going to work on physique.

My current blood tests are levels of perfect that would make even Trump green with envy. I'll outlive you all.

Appropriate.
