Day 267, The Brady Bunch has stopped and Frozen is now on loop. Disney Plus has become an instant regret. Pray for Banjos.
After the unprecedented war-like spending to combat the plague, Trump puts out call for severe austerity measures.
10 pieces of pork in the ginormous shit sandwich that was passed.
Who the fuck cares? It’s like a family stopping their child from buying bubble gum from a machine after maxing out their credit cards, getting a second mortgage, and borrowing from every loan shark in town.

Hold it over my face, friend. It would be a blessing in these trying times.

Poor banjos! * remembers three girls each one year apart*
Sorry, Hi Banjos!
Mornin’
Mornin’. And you aren’t wrong about the Massie interveiw.
“Errors” being a euphemism for baldfaced lies.
So the agents who submitted these applications are going to be prosecuted, right? right?
*crickets*
They will not get so much as a written reprimand.
Then we better scrap FISA.
They’ll get some training so they don’t make innocent mistakes again.
Manufactured information, known propaganda paid by the DNC & Clinton campaign made up whole cloth, an d any and all exculpatory information buried or destroyed, but never submitted is a bit more than just lies.
Since we are not willing to get rid of the whole horrible & evil FISA process, we need to start punishing everyone involved allowing abuse or the thing will be even more dangerous to liberty. Remember, they did this to a presidential candidate and a sitting president. After that, nobody should doubt that they can do it to anyone & everyone.
Just look at how they set about destroying anyone associated with Trump’s campaign based entirely on cooked-up “process crimes”.
If there was only one POS who paid the price for it I would hope it would be that creep Schiff. That arrogant spider in the whole disgusting mess was right in the middle
I’m with you. Schiff is a complete asshole. The fact that no one has tarred and feathered him for his subpoena shenanigans is a black mark on our country.
Even worse is that fellow Congressmen are letting him thumbing his nose at the citizens.
You know you work for the people? Everything you do belongs to us?
“I’m with you. Schiff is a complete asshole.”
That’s an insult to people that are just assholes. Shiff is the guy that would let you fuck his dead mom’s corpse because he feels he can get something of value from you for that. This guy is about as disgusting of a human being as you can imagine. He is the guy that would throw his own kids into a volcano because the devil promises him fame & fortune for doing that.
That guy enrages me and makes my skin crawl. I know how the TDS people feel when they see Trump
Schiff is the window display of power hungry hypocrisy. Everything he is doing is what he railed against Trump on as the very destruction of our republic.
That guy knows how to project…
Schumer, Pelosi, AOC , Nadler and dozens of others are riding on that bus as well.
Think of all the ones he DIDN’T review…those are all probably legit…
Corona virus is a hoax!
April fools..
You know. As we go through the end times (plagues, earthquakes, floods, etc.) there is one small ray of sunshine. Hopefully there will be no idiotic April Fools pranks announced today.
What? You don’t want Aquilos?
/sigh
No. No I don’t.
Slashdot was always the fucking worst on 4/1. It was completely unusable (sort of like it is all the time now) for the full day. Terrible fake headlines, nothing to discuss. I will admit to appreciating some of Think Geek’s fake products from back in the day (especially as the popular products would get made into real ones).
You’re no fun.
I haven’t made coffee yet, and I’m supporting people working from home who don’t understand that if they select a physical audio device to be their “ringer”, they need to have speakers plugged in.
I’m more annoyed that their supervisors decided to give out our support number, so there’s no filter between the end users and us now (it doesn’t help the person on my team who’s supposed to help filter this shit… doesn’t).
“no filter between the end users and us now ”
I’m sorry man. My manager would put her foot down on that shit. We were only support for what the software admins couldn’t handle.
I haven’t spoken to my actual manager for six months. I was planning on trying to set up a meeting to go over some issues recently (like bonuses for me appear to be random, as there’s no feedback). Then everything shut down, and call center/telephony workers became very very busy.
The secondary problem is we’re an external company doing support. We have a very limited scope of what we can do, and what we have access to. With everyone panicking and scrambling to convert from call center to work from home, trying to get them to understand that we can’t help with: desktop issues, software installation, VPN issues, network issues, etc. is tough. To them it’s all “phone stuff”.

Trump should twitter that he has CV today.
Then after the left goes crazy with the usual wishes for an early and painful death, he can tweet “April Fool’s” and break their hearts.
Bonus points for watching all the Never Trumpers in the GOP have aneurysms while shouting about the sanctity of the office.
I wish he did that…
That would be fun.
$300 million to the Social Security Administration: None of this funding will go directly to seniors. Instead, it will go to “administrative expenses” and bureaucratic overhead. The bill provides few specifics as to how the money must be spent. Simply increasing funding for the agency doesn’t guarantee it will be used for coronavirus-related activities.
Stimulus Package Projected To Save The Lives Of At Least 85,000 Government Programs
As stated on the dead-thread, we have 15 confirmed cases in our district and no deaths. This area is larger than Texas and yet the pants-shitting continues. The Premier just extended the hair on fire for two more weeks.

My wife banned Frozen and Frozen 2 a few days ago. Fortunately, my daughter is now on a Winnie the Pooh kick.
She really shouldn’t be idolizing communist dictators like that.
oh bother…
Ironic considering Xi is known as Pooh.

+1 Sterling Holloway.
Too bad they couldn’t get Sterling *Hayden* to do the voice.
I like the books. They very fun but hard to read out loud for they are written more like kids talk and think with long sentences and word order that doesn’t fit our adult practices.
SJWednesday: Some Fiction To Lighten Your Mood
WTF was this? Some fat ugly hag’s fantasies of alpha males paying attention to her?
Magic 8-ball says…most likely!
No man has ever been called a “prick” before.
STUNNING AND BRAVE OF HER TO MAKE UP THIS STORY
Like its a bad thing?
I take “bitch” more seriously than other insults because it attempts to use a piece of my identity – my femaleness – as a weapon, and consequently feels more personal.
She’s a female dog?
/rhetorical
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!1! – not me. I attribute it to clean living and a clear conscience
I thought it was because you were already undead.
That which is dead can not die.
Game of Thrones memes are dead.
Frozen is now on loop.
I’m so very sorry. I woke up to the 2 year old serenading me with Let it Go, and she has probably watched Frozen 10 times in the last week. At least she gets some variety by watching Tangled 10 times and watching Pocahontas, Mulan, and Cinderella the odd time or two.
This goes in the list of pros and cons of being single and lonely.
Get a doll
*Ahem*
“Sexbot”
How dare you!
No, not the Greta model! *shudders*
I put a MAGA hat on that version
Book for you Trashy
https://www.amazon.com/Trojan-Mouse-Disney-Winning-Culture-ebook/dp/B08144196C
He gets a little carried away in his dissection of the movies but good overall points are made about who you are trusting your kids’ and your entertainment to.
That book would so very much confirm my biases. I don’t have a frothing hatred for Disney that some of my family and friends have, but I do certainly see the cultural “sculpting” that Disney is doing.
Generally, my wife and I are going to struggle with the expose v. shelter decision with our kids. She was quite sheltered (I had to explain to her what a prince Albert was when it came up in tiger King), and I was much less sheltered. Consequently she wants to raise our kids with a stronger connection to mainstream culture, and I wouldn’t mind living with the Amish.
I get a kick out of Tangled.
Pie’s quarantine report 3 weeks in
So today marks the 3d week of Pie works from home 100%. How did that go, you are all dying to know? Overall with ups and downs. I don’t much mind working from home, I mind no gym, not going out etc.
Work: overall productivity is same or slightly higher than going to the office. The no commute is always nice. I somewhat miss going out of the house to work and changing the scenery, as boring as the office scenery was. Not that much but still. In the long term, I would not like working from home fulltime, but 2-3 day a week would not be bad. Until wu flu I had one day a week. Maybe the company bumps that up to 2 when it is all done.
Body: I have been trying to do some home exercise as much as possible, though I have less motivation than at the gym. I have my 70 kg contraption, for deadlifts and zercher squats, I have 2 9 kg dumbbells and 2 3kg dumbbells. Plus whatever is in the house. I think I had some decent exercise days. My bodyweight is up about 0.5 kg, but I hope I did not lose much muscle. I am not expecting to gain, but maintain what I have.
Eatin: I think I eat more than at work, because I occasionally snack on my hazelnut / pistachio reserves. I don’t snack at all at the office. The meals were probably a bit worse as in carb heavy, as I cooked pasta every couple of days. I try to get at least 3-4 servings of fish a week, and at least 400-500g of daily fruit and veg.
Drinkin: more than before, as when I was going to the office I had 3-4 days a week with 0 alcohol. Now those days have probably a beer a couple of glasses of wine and a scotch or sometimes 2 each, a lot more than 0. I need to cut back on the booze. One weakness is breakfast beer, a 330 ml one, something I usually do on Saturday and Sunday, and I am tempted to have one on weekdays. Last week I had breakfast beer on 4 days instead of the regular 2.
Other stuff: I do have extra time but not the inclination to use it productively, like learning a skill or writing a novel or something like that. I did get better at cooking as I did more of it. Dunno why. Although I should be less tired I seem to sleep more, although sometimes more restless.
I need to eat less, drink less, exercise more and learn some new skills. But what else is new…
I need a haircut.
I don’t need a haircut.
I do want a haircut.
Me too. My (((fro))) needs hacked down.
Correction: I want it to be hacked down.
I finally ran the clippers over my head and shaved this morning.
Do you find your palms are getting hairier?
No, but my eyesight is improving.
I tried to get hair on my palms 4 times yesterday . . .working from home is hard.
#metoo on the haircut. There’s gotta be some barbers making decent money with home visits
Obligatory Pavement vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTTgpTeb0Z8

/ when did I see him last . . . . not sure
Probably been around a month or so. Crazy times…
Good to have you back.
I need to eat less, drink less, exercise more and learn some new skills.
This was also true of me before the Wubonic Plague became a thing.
I know I’ve gained weight, because it’s to damn easy to go into the kitchen and get food. The other problem with WFH is I have little incentive to shower and shave before heading to work, so I’ve gotten into the habit of going days without a shower.
That explains the smell around here. It’s probably why the Squirrels have protested with the ugly site theme.
Are you kidding me….the squirrels have gotten lazy too!
That tail! You could make a scarf out of it!
The no commute is always nice. I somewhat miss going out of the house to work and changing the scenery
I actually leave the house, go for a ten minute walk, come home and sit at the computer. Otherwise I might forget I’m not on glibs and share a STEVE SMITH pic with on a group call.
“Is that you? You need to shave.”
You would get an instant promotion if there were tentacles as well, brah…
They’d assume it was my lunch.
Squid, octopus, or pr0n monster?
Any chance Cocaine Mitch’s attempted reminder to the left of what they were up to back when will get more play in the dnc operatives with bylines circle jerk, or will it be made up bullshit, all the time?

One look at those eyes, and I can tell the cost of that punnany will far outweigh any fun it may entail…
“Wearing overall without a shirt or bra? Toughened your nipples, didn’t it?”
Hannibalesque there sir…
Cushioning means fat.
” feminists also date! But there are questions we have to ask before we get close to someone.”
Like a brightly colored bug, they are signaling that they are toxic. Very considerate of them.
These very same people will rage about how evangelical Christians live in a bubble…
In these dark times, people are grasping for the comfort of narcissistic gibberish more than ever! Stay brave, queer femme of color.
These are GREAT questions to ask – I would be calling for the check by question 2.
Tucker Carlson was on a tear last night. A study by a Chinese university showed that the type of bat that carries corona virus wasn’t sold at the Wuhan market – but those bats are used for research in two government labs there.
I read an USAAMRIID article back in early February making this claim as well: this was a Chicomm bio-weapon that escaped a lab, which is why the CCP was so desperate to cover it up.
And they must be punished. I suspect that will come in the form of economic punishment.
I expect it will come in the form of empty rhetoric.
Escaped? Yeah right
I still go with the stupid and / or greedy answer as most likely. Either somebody got themselves infected or somebody got greedy and sold one of those nasty infected bats to an idiot who ate it.
Incompetence always trumps malice.
Yeah if it did come from the lab, I bet it was “Low Ranking Lab Worker takes the bin of dead bats down the street to sell instead of putting them in the medical incinerator.”
Lab Cleaning Staff Wu : “Wow! Look at all these dead bats we have to bag and haul to the trash dumpster! My cousin Chan would sell these like pussy if they weren’t infected!”
Lab Cleaning Staff Tse : “Dude! Nothing to worry about! They’re dead right?”
LCS Wu : “Well, yeah, but…”
LCS Tse : “Once the bat is dead the viruses all leave the body. Let’s sell these to your cousin and get some booze!”
LCS Wu : “Really! I didn’t know that! Great! Let’s bag ’em up and hide the bag near where our bikes are parked!”
Does cousin Chan’s restaurant have the name “Hung So Lo”?
Cause I heard the makes a mean cream of Sum Yung Guy..
“You’re not Hung Lo!”
“Would you believe I am his long lost brother, Well Hung Lo?”
Not available on school nights.
That is sadly accurate-ish.
There was a time when I was somewhat conversant in Mandarin and I’ve spent time in that country. I have a pretty good idea how people think there and the lack of understanding when it comes to science and biology.
These are the fuckers that think ground Kaiju bone powered gets their peepees to get hard….

Francis Boyle has been making the rounds with a specific accusation that this came from a UNC lab
Genetic analysis already showed that there was an intermediate animal host and wasn’t passed directly to humans. Same with the original SARS. Although there’s a bit of a tin foil hat backstory, if inclined.
Argh! That stupid small script imp is fucking about again.
Jinx!
yup: Firefox on Windows PC
My computer has the ChiCom Virus!
So, the ugly page style issue has returned. I has a sad. And eye strain and a headache 🙁
Can’t read links is the problem.
Just click on every sentence on the page!
You are wise in the ways of Google-Fu. I bow now to Sensei. Nearly lost all my Google accounts signing up for Firefox.
For me the page looks ugly but I assumed it was because am on my work computers and the gods of labour don’t want me on glibs.
Just filled out the census online. Pro-tip. Other than the number of people, I was able to get through the entire thing without answering any other questions. I just kept clicking next. It would give me a ‘you missed a spot’ error once, then let me click through to finish.
That’s because the moment you connected, it ripped all the data from your computer, and knows half as much about you as google.
#MeToo
I answered the one constitutional question and skipped the rest
I will claim my internet is broke and I don’t know how to fix it (which is always true)
My wife filled out the paper one. She put down the number of people in the household and that’s it. I’m proud of her… she’s well on her way to becoming a cynical shitlord.
Of course, she may have only told me that to shut me up.
That’s what I did. I insisted this time because the last one the wife answered – everything.
They’ve sent me about 6 notices now, each one promising they’ll send me a paper one to fill out eventually. If/when they ever do, they’ll get it back with most of it blank.
The paper one I got only had like 7 more questions than necessary, none of the How many toilets and what magazines do you get stuff. I left the phone number blank but I don’t care if they know my age, sex, family origin.
Interesting. I got errors when I tried to skip the unconstitutional stuff.
I did too, but if you keep clicking, it will let you progress.
Maybe they updated it. I couldn’t advance. This was a couple weeks ago.
They’re slacking because we’re all gonna die now.
I answered them — but for ethnicity I just put in “AMERICAN”. Not like I have any idea what the breakdown of European mutt my family is anyway… and why would anyone need to care at this point? Stupid technocratic wanna-be-overlords…. (goes back to yelling at sky and looks for onion for his belt…)
I always put “non-indigenous native American” for the ethnicity.
I should break mine down by what ancestry.com is telling me.
I put down “mixed race” for me, and “transgender Pacific Islander” for Mrs. Dean.
That question struck me as weird… because while i know my ancestry, i never really think of myself as a Scotts/Danish/English person. I think of myself as American.
I put “American” on mine. England and Germany were like four generations ago and completely irrelevant to me.
I try not to thing of myself as a dago/thistle-arse kraut.
American is fine.
Hey. Note that i didn’t put down “Sheep” as part of my ancestry.
So, no Welsh then.
So, not Scottish?
I can’t remember with whom I did this, but there was one episode where I was being grilled about my ethnicity, and i said “Mongrel” flatly. The lady I was talking to was stunned into silence.
“So, like Grenghis Khan, then?”
I type in “Anglo-Saxon” in hopes it bothers somebody. Mostly correct anyway.
This was my experience as well. I entered obviously fake (first) names for all residents and then entered nothing else. Each screen would give me that “missing entries” stuff I would click next and on it would go to the next unneeded question.
I claimed my race to be Noldor Elf
Mine is curmudgeon.

We have to watch another hearing like the one for Kavenaugh?
The daily formaldehyde infusions keep Ginsberg daisy fresh all day.
This shit must be an April fool’s joke. Seriously, why would orange man want to be a stealth king? He has seen how hard it has been on the Brits, and I am sure that unlike the guy that will never get the British throne because he has a thing for a horse faced entity they tell me is a woman, and would prefer to be an emperor!
Agile?
They secretly want this to happen. Would anyone be watching their garbage if they didn’t have the Boogeyman to talk about every second of every day?
And people like Reid would be absolutely good with a Monarch if it was someone they approved of. Hacks like that abet dictators more than anything Trump or Barr has done
Not just Reid, most of the country. TDS is the result of people wanting a king and getting a king they don’t like.
Whitmer on Biden’s short list…
Threatening doctors and letting people possibly die by denying them anti-malarials will make a nice campaign commercial.
The smart ones will stay out until 2024. They’re aware there’s no beating Trump in November. Just position yourself for next time
She likes education so much she cancelled school for the rest of the year. Meanwhile here in WA-corona west- it’s a wait and see approach.
Cuomo just canceled Spring Break, apparently to keep the rug-rats locked indoors.
I must be bored, I’m ruminating on the physics of salt granules inside a salt shaker. (I recently refilled mine, and less salt comes out with each shake than when there was a lot of airspace.)
You do have seasonings!
Of course I do. It was everyone else who accused me of not.
Sure…blame it on the peasants with pitchforks & torches. You dragon slaying moneylenders are all alike.
Because salt attracts humidity, more salt, more sticktogetherness. Cliff explained this on “Cheers”
Every grain of salt has a tiny gravitational field, so the more there are, the more their mutual gravitational attraction keeps them together, so fewer come out of the shaker.
Duh.
Take this analysis with a grain of salt.
You need to be looking in the holes when you turn it upside down. Then you’ll figure it out.
Is that what she said?
And there it is, coronavirus has set the bar.
Most rational people (about 0.5% of the population) will realize one of those things is not like the other
Yes. One of them is real
Obama reminds me of all the ineffective managers I’ve ever met in my job. They have no ability or even desire to make a decision – instead they do everything they can to avoid making a decision and just let all their advisers speak, and then “decides” to do what ever the last person said.
At least with Trump one gets the feeling he asks questions – even if driven more by emotion than intelligence – and is open to having his mind changed based on the answers. Obama couldn’t change his mind because he didn’t have one of his own.
WHY DIDN’T HE SAY SOMETHING SOONER? HE WAITED AND THOUSANDS DIED

This is a meta-analysis based on reported Chinese deaths.

Problem is, its not the same states. But I do think the curve is slightly bending.
Which source are you looking at?
Woops, nevermind!
Gov. Whitmer reverses course on coronavirus drugs, is now asking feds for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
Why does she need the feds? Let the pharmacies contact the drug companies like normal.
Because nothing can happen until the government does it.
Cause now that she acted like a cunte, nobody will be in a hurry to help her. So now she wants to be able to blame orange man when they tell her to get to the back of the line for not asking earlier.
She started acting like a cunt (she doesn’t deserve the ‘e’) as soon as she took office. She’s been a walking talking disaster. Fortunately, she’s also massively incompetent and, dare I say, stupid.
Because this way when her state can’t get a hold of any on short notice she can blame Drumpf.
She should just wait for them to fall out of her ass.
Trump puts out call for severe austerity measures.
April Fools!
Us or them?

SJWednesday: Communism Would Have Prevented The Pandemic
Erm…
*nods in the direction of China *
How the fuck does someone write that and not see that glaring contradiction. They have to see it… right??
If you are one of the ones that believes the pedantic idiocy peddled by the marxists, your grasp on reality is highly suspect.
These people are liable to Believe the CCP numbers, and so we are doing worse.
The CCP had 3-4 extra months to prepare versus the rest of the World, time they spent stonewalling the WHO, spreading misinformation, and downplaying the significance. And that’s assuming they didn’t create the virus in the first place.

My campaign approves this message.
Campaign slogan: When I win I plan to tell the people that didn’t vote for me to fuck off and fuck yourselves, and to tell the people that voted for me they can go fuck themselves as well…
Well, I have to admit that they have stopped the spread of Winnie the Flu in North Korea. Nobody has died of it there. Mostly because everybody they find who tests positive seems to die of lead poisoning before the virus can do its job.
I mean, with the medical system they have… it might be the most merciful thing they can do.
Well, did they send a bill for the bullet to the infected victim’s family? Cause that’s the ultimate healthcare program…
Lancet – Covid-19 – Estimate of the severity – not too fucking bad…
MERs is some scary shit. Let’s hope it never breaks out globally.
South Korea had it, and supposedly that’s one of the reasons for their competent and swift response now.
severe seasonal influenza
It’s not a flu!
Maybe its a tumor?
It’s not a tumah!
Just wait. Any day now people will start dropping like flies. Any. Day. Now.
So are you saying this will happen before or just after cold fusion becomes a reality?
Huh. Another panicmonger sees the need to rescue their credibility before it becomes obvious they were spewing complete horseshit about the CCP Virus.
Who to call if you spot someone not complying with the stay-at-home orders in the DMV
Horrible headline aside, the article does not actually tell you who to call.
What if your license is expiring?
I’m facing this situation. Not allowed to renew online and it expires in 60 days
All license deadlines have been extended 90 days. Not sure about car inspections (mine are overdue as of today)
It’s 60 days in Virginia, at this time anyway, both for extensions on licenses and registrations as well as inspections.
Oops, that’s right! I couldn’t find confirmation on the inspections, though. Only the licenses and registrations.
It’s not on DMV’s site because the VSP administer inspections. If you do a search for VA vehicle inspections, there are news stories from last week or the week before of Coonman suspending enforcement of inspections for two months.
Sweet!
*removes getting a secret black market car inspection from the Todo list*
WTF is a car inspection?
/Indiana resident
Same here, northern BC. A good 15% of the vehicles up here are jacked up diesels. I mentioned on the dead thread that I filled my truck with 50 Canadian Bucks yesterday. Unheard of.
I miss that.
I also miss no DST, but they fucked that up.
If all of Indiana had been no DST, that would have been okay. But there were 3 distinct timezones: Around Louisville/Cincy was EDT, Indy was EST, and around Chicago was CDT.
Did you ever see the debate between Mitch, Jill Long Thompson, and Andy Horning. Jill and Mitch were bitching back and forth over the time change thing, sounding both like petulant children. They asked Andy and he answered a very reasoned answer, referring to the constitution and weights and measure and such. It didn’t even matter who was right, he was the only one that sounded like an adult.
The Evansville area was CDT

China Uncensored 1.12M subscribers – sounds like a bunch of enemies of the people
Team blue is still desperately trying to “fix” bad orange man’s evil tax bill they claim hurt the poor and enriched the rich, by trying to repeal/remove a state deduction cap that currently costs super rich people in blue states big money (and consequently costs these tax & spend blue states big money).
Party of the people, right?
No more billionaires!
Team blue has been furious about this state tax deductions cap because it hit them where it hurts. For the first time ever a tax bill actually made the ultra wealthy pay more (they could only deduct up to $10K from state taxes), and suddenly all these super rich blue staters that told people they didn’t mind high taxes (especially high state taxes) now are packing up and moving to states without any taxes so they can recoup the money they used to be able to deduct from their fed taxes but now can’t.
Yeah, you had to make over $125K or so to get hit. Everyone else benefited from the higher standard deduction.
I am one of the people that now pays more in taxes, but I am all for this new tax plan that starves the blue tax & spend states and hurts team blue rich asshats that constantly show up to tell people like me we should be happy to pay more in taxes. It is also helping me finally look at leaving “The People’s Republic of Connecticut”…
Cohen is a ghost @skullmandible like I give a blistered bleeding fuck what the founding fathers would think of the country today. they didn’t fucking know what a germ is
This tweet protected from all US jurisdictions by the 1A 🙂 🙂 🙂
Arrogance is a Hallmark of progressivism.
Also, this seems to imply that they don’t care about freedom because of germs.
I’ll tell you what. They should update the quote to “Live free or die: getting the flu is not the worst of evils”
The founders likely knew more about plague in their time than the average person knows about germ theory today. Half of them died before Louis Pasteur was even born. That you have the benefit of the knowledge of smarter men than yourself by virtue of the time of your birth should be taken with gratitude not snobbery.

Yeah. There’s little more off putting than someone who has cool toys thinking that makes him intellectually Superior to the people whos contributions made those toys possible.

“We, like, figured it would be simpler if the tests all just came back positive. But then the management was like, but your accuracy would be off. So we figured we’d, like, just make sure everyone was positive. Then the tests would always be right.”
I should probably feel bad that I laughed my ass off at the headline. But I don’t.

SJwednesday: Make It Rain
I thought illegals didn’t take welfare. It makes sense that they wouldn’t take this welfare.
WTF IS A MIXED STATUS HOUSEHOLD?
Illegals sheltering with legal permanant residents?
Ah OK. I thought it was a house where some people were Bernie bros and others were fans of Liawatha or Cthulhu’s child Hillary.
Normally, I would say any of the following:
– Mom is a citizen, Dad is not and vice versa
– Children are citizens, parents are not
– Mom, Dad, and children are citizens, one or more extended family members are not
– Etc.
But I’m going to guess they’re just talking about the middle one. Oh, and those non-citizens probably aren’t here legally, either.
when any one person in the household has a alien tax number instead of a SSN
Well, instead of their own SSN, at least. Some have SSNs, they just have other people’s names attached.

Is Kirk Gibson the only MLB athlete universally revered by two different teams? I know some guys are liked in more than one town, but I think he’s the only one where they could put up a statue.
Nolan Ryan?
Randy Johnson?

I seem to recall that Hornsby was rather universally disliked but I don’t remember if that was just his organizations and teammates or if it extended to the fans.

I really hope this insn’t the cure for the ChiCom Virus. Hindus drinking cow piss.
Urine luck! All they got from that was a staph infection.
You’re the govt leaker.
I hear they do that for everything.

Never done it. And I only banged one fat chick, once, so I could know the whole waterbed without being on a waterbed effect, and she was not allowed to piss on me.
Billions they have in population. There’s bound to be ‘lost tribes of retard’.
Look I’m OK if the cure involves Hindus drinking cow piss. I’m out if it involves me drinking cow piss. (Unless cow piss is a euphemism for the High Life, then I’m back in)
Is there a difference?
Roswell Park VP fired over anti-Trump Facebook posts
Watch her gain victim status for this. Maybe she can join Avenatti and tour the dnc operative with bylines hangouts?
Both Krolczyk and LaTrovato worked for Democratic elected officials before moving into their positions at the medical and research organizations
Of course they did. But the revolving door only exists in the military-industrial complex.
Just stupid.
The entirety of their higher education told them that kind of behavior was acceptable and praise-worthy. It’s not surprising that they don’t realize it’s unprofessional at best.
I am sure the people that fired them told them we agree with you 100% but we need to avoid legal repercussions too.
By legal repercussions they mean less government funds.
They probably didn’t think that deeply about it, and never expected it to get wider attention.
Im guessing that they aren’t being fired for “anti-trump” as much as that they were being callous towards Trump voters.
But they’ll try hard to spin it that way.
It’s amazing how stupid people keep getting these jobs. The system really is that corrupted. The supreme arrogance on display is astonishing.
First off, you’re in the middle of a fricken pandemic where people are in a struggle (from healthcare workers to patients and everyone in between including those doing the right thing by self-isolating and businesses shutting down) and you still have the unseemly retardedness to engage in petty politics? How does this help anyone?
Second, the fact you have such a job means you should have the enlightened decency to keep your damn personal opinion to yourself. But these aren’t enlightened people. These are opinionated dumbasses.
Were they doing this on company time and company equipment or disparaging of their employer? If not, it shouldn’t be a fireable offense.
Bringing your employer into disrepute is a firing offense. Unlike other employees, a VP is never not a representative of their employer, and that goes double for a VP of “external affairs”. Don’t like it, don’t take the job. She got what she deserved, regardless of whether it was on company time and company equipment.
HAH!

I just saw some prog use it on twitter to describe Trump supporters. I chuckled
It is not an invention of our own, but rather comes from a different source.
Shit…I thought it was created in the comments. Oh well thanks for the info
Yeah, I heard that a loong time ago.
I have an irrational hatred of rational wiki.
It’s the Nikki of wikis.
I don’t think it started here or there. I’ve seen it plenty of other places for a long time.
It’s amazing how this virus is directly impacting people on so many levels. Some moron eats a bat and we pay the price.
I’m willing to take a hit provided we once and for all make China account and ween off their wagon. Shape up or ship out.
“Some moron eats a bat and we pay the price.”
Y’all need to cut this shit out. Making fun of and scapegoating poor people for their limited choice of food is beneath all of you.
Are they eating bat because there isn’t anything else to eat? Personally, I don’t care as long as it isn’t cannibalism.
I’m pretty sure the bat-eaters are choosing to do so.
I bet they’d be eating the hell out of bats in Norktown if there were any left. They make a Meatloaf.
But that’s North Korea.
My guess is that bat-eating is a remnant of times past. Maybe Great Leap Forward or even before. China has had their fair share of famines.
There’s a saying in Chinese that the northerners say about the southerners (and maybe the southerners say it about the northerners too, I dunno) that they eat anything with four legs but a table and anything with wings except an airplane. I doubt that goes back too many centuries.
Well, airplanes hadn’t been invented centuries ago.
Sure they were, didn’t you know the chinese invented everything centuries before the west?

+1 Tres Cool for not just stepping on the joke and blurting the punchline. /no sarc
I saw what you did there.
Not from what I’ve read.
I care if it’s unnecessarily cruel like that damned twitter link you posted last week. Frying a live dog or any other higher functioning animal in a wok is barbaric.
Sure. I’m talking only about the morality of eating creatures. How you do it different. As for bats, you can’t really blame the peasants for eating that stuff if they weren’t aware of the bio hazard involved. The Indonesians have been eating them forever.
Back in school 30 years ago my buddy was eating a sammich and he threw out the last bite. Some busy body blurted out, ‘why did you do that? There are starving kids in Africa!” Taken aback, but retaining his composure, he deadpanned, ‘And if I eat it, and get a stomach ache, that changes what exactly?’
Girl. Owned.
As a parent I have realised that my parents didn’t give a shit about starving kids in china, they just were trying to guilt me into eating dinner!!! What other lies were they posing to get me to do what they wanted?
The divorce was in fact your fault.
You were not great at school. Or sports. Or music.

Starvin’ Marvin and the guy from that movie “The Gods must be crazy”?
He’s just kidding man, which is fine (and if you’re just kidding, we’ll done).
I’m not singling out Rufus, so if he’s kidding, fine. But I don’t think everyone has been kidding.
So we can blame food deserts, right ?
My understanding is it’s part of “traditional medicine”. ?♂️
I am not buying that Leon.
People here were poor. They didnt eat bats. They busted their asses making America a better place where we have plenty instead of want and misery. We have only been here 500 years. The Chinese have been where they are for over 5000. Even if they couldn’t figure it out on their own there are examples right in front of their noses today. There is no excuse for it.
Dont eat ratshit. Raise cattle, chickens and wheat. Get your boot off of people’s necks. Create a society where every person is incentivized to succeed.
It aint just the Chinese. Pig headed backwardness is rampant in the world.
People want to totalitarianate, not do the right thing, yo.
Are you sure they ate the bat and didn’t try to fuck it? People do crazy shit…
Ran out of duct tape…

Interesting. With the advent of small craft and drone “swarming tactics”, I wonder if battleships might provide a viable counter measure, given their extreme armor and huge volumes of firepower, including multiple anti-aircraft batteries and smaller guns which would make their defense difficult to penetrate, and difficult to significantly damage for whatever did get through.
I’m going to take a stern view on that.
I would like to meet the person, looking to locate in China back when it was cool, who while observing the culture and factories noticed people doing weird things like, I don’t know, eating a bat; or skinning a cat alive, or seeing dissidents being rounded up, wondered if it was such a good idea to move operations there only to be told, ‘to shut up’.
I’ve met numerous business people – including my college roommate – who have been to China and were absolutely horrified by the pollution and political oppression. And were equally repelled by open-patent infringement and business cheating that they seem to view as some kind of sport. They were told to get the deals done because the cheap slave labor and lack of environmental regulations were too good to pass up. But when you talk to them in private, they seriously questioned whether we should be moving businesses there.
open-patent infringement and business cheating that they seem to view as some kind of sport
Mexico has always been the correct answer
I’ve told you before Don, you can’t patent a specific formula for Cocaine.
^^^This. In terms of low-cost labor, Mexico is a much safer bet. Sure it’s kind of a basketcase and has its own problems, but it’s definitely friendlier and more cooperative than China.
Shit, even Vietnam and India are better options.
Anything but China.
Mexico could be a player. Plenty of everything.
Except any semblance of consistency.
I would move manufacturing there in a heartbeat. Lower cost of shipping and labor, better weather ;).
I would love to see them get their shit together.
Let’s face it, we helped fuck them up by making drugs illegal while buying them in huge quantities. The shitty corrupt government is on them.
It really is an interesting question as to why Latin America just can’t get it together. They have abundant natural resources and a similar ethnographic history to Canada and the US (though obviously not identical); why can’t they kick their addiction to corruption and socialism?
I mean… Mexico has had it’s issues for a long time, but places like Argentina were fairly stable from the end of the Revolutionary period (1830’s) up until the Peron’s. So i wonder how much of it is just that we continue to see the results of having your countries government tossed around by the USA and USSR as a chess piece in the Cold War.
What makes you think we’ve kicked it? *Turns on news*
Seems more like we had a low level addiction that just turned full lines-off-a-hookers-tits.
Razor had an interesting thought on why Mexico can’t get it’s poop in a group. Illegal immigration allows a blow off valve. Things get too crazy for the Mexicans looking to live a clean life, rather than trying to fix Mexico they just sneak up north and roll the dice that way.
It really is an interesting question as to why Latin America just can’t get it together.

My former company did really well with Honduras.
Been there. Done that.
We were ordered to open in China by our customers (Motorola, Lucent, Siemens, Nokia). Those asshats were already starting to giving Huawei and ZTE all their IP by the time we opened up. Note how many of them are still viable players in the cell tower infrastructure business now after giving Huawei the means to destroy them.
No wonder China doesn’t respect us.
Short-term thinking by decision makers.
I’ve long searched for a means of incentivizing longer term thinking, but I’m not bright enough to come up with one that would work as intended.
A conundrum business professors and writers have been wrestling with forever. Toyota maybe does it the best of any big company – most of their management simply ignores their stock price as noise.
THIS
Stock prices are a shit indicator of business health. Managing to its value alone is insane.
It should only serve as a single feedback channel among many.
As long as the CCP provides free shipping companies will continue to mfg there.
One of my memories about this subject I will never forget – from about 15 years ago –
I was working for the Japanese branch of a huge, multi-national when the American VP of our group was visiting from Hong Kong. She was leading the plans for getting us going in China and had just given a presentation on how things were going there. During a break I asked her privately what we were going to do with all that Renminbi if our venture was successful. Her answer told me that she either was not aware that the Renminbi was not convertible or didn’t understand what convertible meant.
Let me guess…. She had an MBA.

Now we see the true cost of this terrible pestilence
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing gun sales to soar in Colorado, creating a major backlog on Colorado Bureau of Investigation background checks.
That backlog is legally allowing gun dealers to sell firearms to people who should not have them. Under federal law, the CBI has three business days to approve or deny a gun sale before a seller can exercise discretion and sell a firearm. Usually, the CBI has no problem meeting that deadline, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made the process more difficult.
The bureau has been working nonstop to sort through a backlog of roughly 9,000 background check requests from gun dealers across the state. What usually takes eight minutes to turn around is currently taking four business days, according to CBI spokesperson Susan Medina.
Gun shop owners say people are flocking to gun stores amid the pandemic. Along with the demand, CBI officials say social distancing is changing the bureau’s workflow.
“Obviously we’re in a different time,” Medina said. “This isn’t a situation where we can’t throw staff members in a room and they can knock this down.”
The delay is allowing dealers to sell guns to people who may be considered unfit to own a gun. The bureau is encouraging dealers to hold weapons until checks are compete.
At least one shop has already exercised the federal loophole and sold a gun to a person who should not have one, according to CBI. Agents are now working to recover that weapon, Medina said.
One wrongly sold gun is all it takes to undo the whole system.
I’d be amazed if they didn’t toss a few billion at the ATF in the stimulus bill.
“At least one shop has already exercised the federal loophole”
What “federal loophole” might that be exactly? Because I don’t know a place in this country where you can buy a gun from a dealer without filling out a 4473. Unless by “gun shop” they mean “the trunk of some ex-con’s car”.
If they acknowledged they were talking out of their ass, people might not be as emotional and willing to let them stomp on our second amendment rights…
The Loophole is that if the government is forced to meet a deadline! That’s not right. You should only be allowed to buy a gun if the government has given positive consent. If that takes 2 years to process, well you should be happy for the priveledge.
Didn’t read the article, but the news blip I heard yesterday said if the check takes longer than 3 days, the shop can go ahead and hand over the gun. I had never heard that before.
Sounds to me like CBI’s got a staffing problem, not a “loophole” problem. But then we wouldn’t have an excuse to start shitting on 2A.
I imagine they sent everyone home due to the plague. State workers where cleared out of their work places prior to the official stay at home order.
There’s probably the issue of having a secured network to access the database. At least one would hope.
Yeah and of course the Democrats want to change that. They want to backdoor the Brady waiting periods through bureaucracy. I’d love to hear an explanation for how a simple “Does this persons SSN appear on the prohibited list?” database query takes more then three business days.
No kidding. It should take milliseconds.
They want to backdoor the Brady waiting periods through bureaucracy.
“Since when does “three days” necessarily mean three consecutive days? It could just as easily be interpreted to mean ‘following the first three days of the sixth month after the date of application.”
And they still have to fill out the 4473 and answer the questions. If they’re denied on a background check, it’s either a mistake or they lied on the 4473. I’m sure those will be prosecuted.
SLD: shouldn’t have to get approval or complete any government forms to exercise your rights like that.
I’m beginning to wonder how Kamala Harris did as poorly as she did. She appears to have a large natural constituency who likely would have adored her reign. Danke Dame Biron at Business Insider!

No, you’re not gonna die and yes, playing like you are is the exclusive purview of Dads everywhere. That’s cultural appropriation, How Dare You?
Also-
FOX31 Denver asked Gov. Jared Polis’ office, on Tuesday afternoon, if the backlog will prompt the governor to close gun shops during the pandemic. FOX31 is still waiting on a response.
There’s the excuse we need! Shut ’em all down!
Reason’s panties get soaked through at mention of their sweetheart.
Dude plays videogames. He must be libertarian.
“FOX31: The Governments are not able to meet their legally obliged deadlines, so in order to make sure that you don’t get the guns you are of right to buy, we are asking the government to close gun shops”.
I think the government would have a better chance prevailing at court for claiming a “Public Health” concern to closing Gun stores (oh heaven forbid it though, we’ve already seen people saying that the government should use these powers to ban guns) than saying “we can’t meet what the law requires, so we are closing gun stores”.
Good Lord, Banjos!

Question for somebody more knowledgeable than I:
How are “we” doing on treatment/alleviation of symptoms? Everything I see seems to be about the high drama of a search for a silver bullet which is not even so much a “cure” as a magical charm which will protect everyone everywhere from the plague.
The virus attacks the lungs, right? Are they treating patients with decongestants? Presumably the focus on respirators is to provide breathing assistance. I haven’t heard much of anything about actual treatment; everything makes it sound as if we’re in Tudor London, just tossing the victims on cots and waiting to see if/when they die.
95% of cases don’t require any treatment at all. One of the ‘problems’ of this virus is, it can infect someone without manifesting any symptoms at all (the walking, unaware contagious). That all said, when it attacks the lungs (for those with some vulnerability) it scars – possibly permanently, degrading lung function.

Newsweek;DR
It was the first thing that came up and I am lazy this morning.
How are “we” doing on treatment/alleviation of symptoms?
Hard to say for sure. We don’t have much of a baseline at all for evaluating how effective treatments are, for starters. Its really early to be running double-blinds, and you get ethical quandary of double-blinds is arguably heightened in a pandemic.
With that out of the way, people using chloroquine and cholorquine cocktails are losing very few patients, so it looks promising. We’ve had very few admitted to our ICU and put on ventilators, but we’ve already discharged at least one home, and pulled at least a couple off their vents. We’re doing chloroquine and looking into the cocktails.
This isn’t some superbug that blasts through PPE, burrows into your skin, and kills everybody within 100 yards. This is a nasty cold bug. Just how nasty is what we are trying to get a better handle on.

It’s a cymbal that something needs to change.
What, you thought that money was for the actual artists?
I had a pretty nasty argument once with a teacher who simply refused to believe the amount of money we spend on education. She just kept repeating over and over and over “Well, I haven’t seen a raise”.
No shit lady, the bureaucrats and administrators and consultants and the retired teachers soak it all up. But the money is being spent. I know you don’t decide how its spent, but the spending still exists, and no I’m not voting in favor of an increase “for teachers” because I know you won’t see a dime of it, and you’ll be back next year with your hand out.
These are the geniuses in charge of “teaching” our kids…
No wonder we are fucking up entire generations…
Yeah, I’ve seen that with our local schools. Most of the extra money is sucked up by administration and facilities. I think the administrators really like to build stuff, because then they need more administrators to manage it all.
Interesting side note, my doctor says the same thing is now happening in the medical field. That most of the increase in medical costs is going to administration and facilities, not providers.
RC Dean needs a vacation house after all.
the increase in medical costs is going to administration and facilities, not providers
Well, it is being spread across more providers, and more and more non-physician providers. Facilities – not sure that we really have that much more in facilities per capita, per encounter, per provider. As medicine becomes more technological, it becomes more capital intensive, and those EMRs ain’t free (neither is the IT infrastructure to support them).
Absolutely some of it is getting sucked up into administration, both on the healthcare side and the payor side. Bureaucracy breeds more bureaucracy.
Outside of a handful of specialties, maybe, docs are making more year over year, though.
I overheard two soccer moms in a coffee shop saying, “There are kids going to school in the same building their parents went to.. There is something fundamentally wrong with that!”
The teacher’s unions and the Democrat Party have done a great job of convincing people that schools are constantly in need of more money.
“You know what’s really shocking – Ivy League schools are still using buildings over 100 years old. Its shameful! All those old buildings should be levelled and replaced with something new.”
My friend did IT for a local school system for a while and shared this enraging anecdote with me…
Some district got a fancy new building, and the neighboring district got jealous. They begged and begged for funding for a new building but got denied on the grounds that they had a perfectly usable one. Finally, they just stopped doing maintenance on their building so that it became dilapidated and said, “Now you have to get us a new building!”
Old story. the proper response is to sack everyone responsible for the neglect, especially the administrators and superintendant, condemn the building and consolidate into whatever space hasn’t been ruined.
The proper response is to privatize the school system.
I suspected that as much as half that money (and probably even more, which is why Pelosi raised it to $35 million) was earmarked to go into team blue campaign coffers.

“It’s very important to understand that “Critical Social Justice” isn’t just activism and some academic theories about things. It’s a way of thinking about the world, and that way is rooted in critical theory as it has been applied mostly to identity groups and identity politics.

Preach brotha!
Why so many words to say: “we need more marxists in charge to do some serious culling of the masses”?
Because the masses don’t vote for you if you tell them your plan.
Considering how easy it is to figure out that these people are peddling marxism pretending they will finally be the right people and able to make it work this time, and the ease to find historical information about the 120 million plus murdered & billions imprisoned in misery of the last century, I think these people are no longer worried about people knowing. There are so many imbeciles out there that want equality of outcome and to punish those more successful than them that think when the cullings begin they will not only not be victims of it, but those implementing it and gleefully destroying those icky people that think wrong, that these horrible people don’t need to lie about where they want to go. Of course, the useful idiots will be the second wave of people sent to the Gulags or put up against the wall, and I can already hear their whiny voices proclaiming how unfair it is they also get turned into compost, because they believed!

I’m excited to see how my Mother, who voted for HRC because she was so disgusted by Trump and in a large part his “Grabe em by the pussy” comment, will react to this development.
Granted, she may never hear about it.
Even if she does, she will ignore it. I had a lady that was all about Trump is vile and we should #believeher, before acting as if Biden’s accusation had to be from trailer trash and thus was not believable.

Leftists have an amazing talent for writing off morally abominable things about candidates they like. Whenever I would point out that Obama’s foreign policy was identical to that of G.W. Bush, all I would get is a blank stare, or the assertion that “A Republican president would have been even worse!”
So I doubt that Creepy Uncle Joe’s sexual assault would even register if you told them right up front.
Obama’s foreign policy was identical to that of G.W. Bush
I’ve made this point many times: the only difference was the Obama promised a difference and didn’t deliver.
Well, his first official act was to shut down Gitmo… lol.
Gitmo
Mission Accomplished !
she may never hear about it
She might, if the Democratic leadership decides ‘ol Joe has to go, and give their propaganda arm (aka the MSM) the green light to run with the story.

Article request: If somebody could post a basic article on how to build a PC, buying all of the components separately and making sure they work together, that would be great. I know there’s only so much you could cover, so you could put in links to more resources online.
This is something I might attempt in the near future. If my 11-year-old nephew can do it, I… *might* be able to do it.
Not an article but excellent resource…

It’s okay, I forgive me.
This chart in the article Banjos linked seems utterly ridiculous to me. But I guess it’s great politics.
I look forward to Trump claiming to have saved millions of American lives, while the media “debunks” the claim by contradicting everything they wrote during the pandemic panic.
This is like when Christina Romer predicted that with Obama’s Stimulus we’d get 8% Unemployment and, without we’d get 9%. And then we passed it and we got 10%. I wonder if most technocrats know that they are going to be wrong when they make these statistical predictions, or if it shocks them every time.
She was allowed back at Cal, so she probably didn’t care either way.
My job is to do forecasting models. I know I’m going to be wrong. I just hope to be close. Theoretically I could provide a range of outputs, but we have to plan for the high end knowing in theory we’ll be below that 95% of the time by design. One way I know that a manager doesn’t understand my work is when he asks me to use decimals.
Why not make a visual aid to explain my feeling?

Ouch….
I think if that’s the case it’s going to backfire mightily. It’s hard to explain to people who are hysterical about this that even if their worst case of 220k happens they likely won’t directly know anyone who dies or is even hospitalized by this. And the real numbers are going to be under 100k by a large margin. There are going to be many many people in this country who are going to be destitute from this and won’t even know 1 person who tested positive. It’s a recipe for political disaster. Trust in institutions is low now I can’t wait for these egg heads and politicians explaining to the 30% of the unemployed in this country how this was a great success when they don’t know anyone who was hospitalized from this or died. Should be interesting I imagine the media will quickly shift to why did the politicians cause this economic disaster when that happens in the most transparent gas lighting ever. Their might not be any politicians left after this is over in a month.
Folks, this is what optimism looks like.
My scenario: this thing fizzles (relatively speaking) like has been predicted from pretty early on by credible researchers. Politicians take credit for it, citing their “brave” exercise of emergency powers. The media, also complicit in the panic for their own reasons, also credits the lockdown for saving millions of lives.
Nobody gets fired, nobody loses an election, for being completely wrong about the severity or the right response (hint: the right response would have been telling everyone that wearing a mask is the best way to limit spread, encouraging retail outfits to up their cleaning game with the simple expedient of wiping things down regularly with a bleach water solution, and . . . nothing else).
I don’t know dude, I own a small business and am surrounded by people who own small business’s everyone knows who to blame for this debacle. This is going to put I’d say close to 30% of everyone I know out of business if we continue this past April. more than likely more as the second they lift the bans theres not going to be pent up demand or people rushing to spend money. The second order impacts of this are going to be enormous even if the virus has completely disappeared off the face of the planet which it won’t people will still be hysterical and people will still be dieing from this in the news.
It’s a recipe for political disaster.
Absolutely. Good thing Trump didn’t buy into this, issue any national emergencies, or sign any stupid bills into law!
if trump thinks he’s going to win by politically setting a high bar and going dramatically under it by easter, he’s probably going to be rudely disappointed as their are going to be a ton of pissed off out of work people.
Fresh spinach is a ripoff. When you done cooking there is barely any left.
Mostly water….
That’s why you eat meat.
In St. Louis there is a place called the Hill, a bunch of Italian restaurants there make all kinds of goodies like toasted ravioli and…flash fried spinach. They fry then sprinkle with Parmesan. Freaking delicious.
I had flash-fried spinach the first time I went to China. Fantastic.

This news, while telling that the Chicomms are lying bout the Kung Flu being stopped, also tells me that the oligarchs want shit that actually works unlike the crap they manufacture at home and ship out to other countries which are now wising up.
Also from Australia, border patrol seizing “Chinese-made faulty face masks”.
My favorite one was this one, where the Dutch basically recalled over half a million masks because the ones so far used had over 60% failure rates. A lot of very China friendly E.U. nations are now finding out that they are not going to get a reach around while the defective equipment they got causes mountains of trouble and this dependence on China fucks them in the ass.
While we are sucking it right now because of the dependence on China, ultimately it is China that is fucked over it. They will probably loose a lot of their economy over this.
I sure as hell hope that’s exactly what this calamity finally produces as an outcome.

My MIL is a news junkie and spends half her day flipping across cable news channels. She has Fox News on right now and there’s some doctor on there who just “doctors and nurses often feel unappreciated so it’s nice to have the country behind us right now.”
Umm, OK.
I’m always ready to get behind a nurse.
So you are a guy that likes to do it without having to look them in the face?
An 80-year-old with the body of a 20-year-old still has the face of an 80-year-old, or at best a 60-year-old
“There’s no yoga pose for the face”
That’s a Gary Gulman bit I can’t fucking find anywhere online that I heard on SiriusXM a while ago. The internets are useless. There’s a bit about a meltdown in Trader Joe’s which is a shorter version of the whole bit.

Republikkkinz want you to die
The first three coronavirus relief bills passed Congress with relative ease — three massive bills in three weeks with overwhelming support.
But the early jockeying over the focus of a potential fourth aid package is already beginning to show deep partisan fault lines, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi outlining Democratic priorities and Senate Republicans pushing back.
In an attempt to draw a stark contrast with House Democrats, Senate Republicans are focusing their criticism on proposed spending provisions similar to ideas like the Green New Deal that might end up in a new bill.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., warned Democrats on Tuesday of a looming fight on phase four.
“If anybody puts a dime in phase four unrelated to the virus, they’re going to be very famous, because people are dying in this country — it is not time to do the Green New Deal,” Graham said Tuesday on Fox News.
Our glorious days of bipartisan consensus may be at an end. Weep for America.

Of course you had to make me think of The Deteriorata.

More:
Pelosi dismissed allegations that Democrats are politicizing the congressional response, saying everything she is suggesting is directly related to fighting the coronavirus outbreak.
“I hear people saying, ‘They’re doing this wish list.’ That isn’t so,” she said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Everything we’re doing is specific to the coronavirus challenge, and that would be to do infrastructure for water systems that are so essential, broadband because so many people are relying on telecommunication and social media and the rest.”
Sure, Granny. Just the bare necessities.
This is the organization that took the power to ensure states weren’t putting tarriffs on each other to mean “I have the power to do whatever the fuck i want”. So yeah. I think they can figure a way to tie this to CV.
There are a few people speculating about Trump’s phone call with Xi since Trump seems to have stopped referring to COVID-19 as the Chinese virus and the ChiComs have backed off from blaming the American military. A part of me is wondering if the conversation may have included a detailed explanation of exactly how deep a US nuclear warhead can be inserted into a human rectum, though I sadly doubt that we’ll ever see that declassified.
A Phone Call? With a Foreign Leader? Has Rep Schiff been informed about this?
Don’t worry, he just made up his own transcript anyway
He’s editing the transcript now.
You sirry American not brow us up. You need us make things. You pay us now! Haha!

Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates called for a nationwide shutdown on Tuesday, arguing it would be the most effective way to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
Gates wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that he has spoken with experts through his work with his charity who said a national policy would be more effective over having a hodgepodge of states issue stay-at-home orders while others remain more open. He argued that the country needs a “consistent nationwide approach to shutting down.”
“Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely. In some states, beaches are still open; in others, restaurants still serve sit-down meals,” Gates wrote.
“This is a recipe for disaster. Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus. The country’s leaders need to be clear: Shutdown anywhere means shutdown everywhere,” he added. “Until the case numbers start to go down across America — which could take 10 weeks or more — no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown.”
Just as long as your nanny can run to the wine-and-cheese shop to grab the necessities of life, that is. Why would Bill Gates care if people need to work so they can pay their bills? Paying bills is what the accountant down at the Trust is for.
I notice that all of the most fervent proponents of shutting down society for months at a time are people whose lives won’t be completely ruined by doing so. Wonder why that is.
If shutting down resulted in state governments saying “Fuck this shit, we’re out of here” and mass exits from the Union, i might be in favor of it.
When you are protected from the loss, you are far more likely to accept the risk. People like Gates will not starve unless society implodes completely, So to him, since he is interested in mitigating his risk, locking everyone else up, even when that destroys their lives because of the economic impact, is the smaller risk.
My buddy floods me with links from Gates. All of a sudden he’s the go to guy.
Fuck him.
Exactly. He won’t be affected. Then he can look like a hero with his foundation.
I’ve observed this too. People like doctors or those who are still getting paid (in many cases handsomely are all gung ho for ‘the greater good’.
Easy if it doesn’t hit them. See how fast if Gates’ lot gets threatened he changes tune and posture.
“Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely. In some states, beaches are still open; in others, restaurants still serve sit-down meals”
I was listening to our governor’s (sorry, can’t disclose where) press conference yesterday and some reporter asked him why he was allowing counties to set their own rules and not imposing state-wide restrictions and rules. He pointed out that the virus was at different stages of infection in different parts of the state because of geography and rural/urban. If he imposed state-wide restrictions it would be far too early in some counties and he thought that it would be hard to keep people under stronger restrictions for a longer period of time.
Fucking leadership- how does it work?
It’s a different kind of reality TV; for a change, it’s actually real – must-see viewing for a homebound nation. With the number of coronavirus cases in the United States growing exponentially, nowhere has been harder hit than the New York metro area.
“This is going to be one of those moments they’re going to write about and they’re going to talk about for generations,” said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Without naming the president, Cuomo has begged, cajoled and goaded the federal government to take action: “What am I going to do with 400 ventilators, when I need 30,000? You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die!”
And when announcing the closure of schools and businesses statewide to help contain the spread of COVID-19, he willingly took responsibility: “If someone is unhappy, somebody wants to blame someone, or complain about someone, blame me,” Cuomo said.
Meanwhile, President Trump had another take on responsibility, and reality, when asked on March 13 about his administration’s weeks-long delay in conducting tests for COVID-19, as the virus spread across the country.
“I don’t take responsibility at all,” the president told the nation.

The other major player in this drama of dueling daily briefings, Dr. Anthony Fauci, from the National Institutes of Health, a trusted scientist setting the record straight.
“Obviously no one is going to want to tone down things when you see what’s going on in a place like New York City,” Dr. Fauci said of Mr. Trump’s Easter target date. “I mean, that’s just good public health practice and common sense.”
When Dr. Fauci isn’t standing next to the president, a concerned public wonders why.
All of which begs the question: What does leadership look like in this time of crisis?
Not like President Cartoon Villain, obviously.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
All of which begs the question: What does leadership look like in this time of crisis?
Asks the question, fuckwit. Asks. Your entire article is what is begging the question.
“begs the question”
mhm.
It looks like future-President Nipples. Duh.
Andrew Cuomo’s state is, by far, the epicenter of coronavirus in the United States, yet there are daily slobbery paeans written in praise of his glorious leadership.
Results? Who cares? He’s the strongman weak people crave.
see also: Mayor Rudy
these empty narratives never end
“see also: Mayor Rudy”
Yep, he was so “vital” that people were floating the idea of postponing the mayoral elections so he could stay in office.
“Gov. Cuomo, its obvious New York was woefully unprepared for this viral outbreak, in spite of its previous experience with them and its status as a primary target for bioterror attacks. Would you care to comment on the failure of the New York government to learn from history and prepare for foreseeable events?”
Ad also, what in the everloving fuck have you been doing with all that federal anti-terror money you’ve been sucking up for the last 20 years?
!
I would say that in some part this is because what he did or didn’t do has given the residents of his fair city the right to claim some form of victim status as the city ravaged by corona virus.
What are a few [thousand] lives for the glory of the cause?
Again, NY has been the recipient of lavish federal anti-terrorism funding because they are a major target for attacks, including bioweapons. Yet they have been exposed as being thoroughly unprepared. All that money for the past 20 years was apparently wasted.
But yeah, leadership. I wish someone would ask Cuomo about this.
Exactly.
Weren’t we told they needed all sorts of PPE for when the subways were gassed by terrorists?
CBS News? The people using Italian footage as NYC footage?
“I think this has been a time where governors really have led,” said Hogan, a popular Republican in an overwhelmingly Democratic state, who is also chairman of the National Governors Association. “We’ve been on the front lines, and we’ve stepped up to make those tough decisions, governors on both sides of the aisle, but also to push for more action from the federal level.”
Nothing says leadership like rattling your tin cup on the steps of the Capitol.
Hogan bitches that his state isn’t getting enough testing kits. Yo’ asshole, your state is returning 90% negatives on the tests it IS administering. Maybe your public health geniuses need to refine the testing criteria?
Maybe your public health geniuses need to refine the testing criteria?
Or, maybe, this whole thing isn’t as widespread and urgent as you like to pretend, as evidenced by the 90% negative results on tests administered only to people identified as being at risk/symptomatic?
Err, “you” is Gov. Hogan, not juris imprudent.
Isn’t that consistent across the board? 10-15% consistent positives is what I have been hearing.
I want a large randomize test, about 10k random Americans, in order to see how many have already had it. If the Oxford model is right, we mayb e at 70% or something.
10-15%
I noticed it early and often since
Which means the increase in cases is due to more testing.
Do they still let you bring in coolers?
You slay me.
Indians fans were really upset they dealt Kluber to Texas. He’s on the wrong side of Father Time. He’s going to melt there pitching August. Of course, his contract is just an option for 2021, so it’s possible he never pitches for the Rangers.

So yesterday I was hanging out drinking some coffee and shooting the shit with the guys at the little market across the street and some guy hobbled in with a walker and bought two pint sized bottles of Listerine. The owner said, “I’m pretty sure he is going to drink those.” “No fucking way is he gonna do that.” Sure enough two minutes later we look across the street and sure enough there are two empty bottles of mouthwash. Damn, dude pounded those. What the everlovin’ fuck?!
Brawndo!
Its like 60 proof…and you have fresh breath with your buzz
Yeah, but he would have bought 80 proof vodka for the same price. I guess you would not be minty fresh then tho.
