    The resort fees are tripled to pay for toilet paper.

    Pelosi's original bill unConstitutionally raided the Social Security Fund with no stated limit, and sent much of these stolen retirement funds overseas for pet pork-barrel projects for Dems. It did an end-run around state laws pertaining to abortion providers and illegally used federal funds to support them. Over half of the funds in her original bill had absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus. It was a political attempt at theft of taxpayer $ to support political goals of her party. I doubt it was changed much.

    As literally nobody who voted on it has read it completely, it is likely another potential American success like Obamacare, turned sour and unworkable by her graft-ridden swamp. It will likely need some graft edited out before the Senate passes it.

    Why would you want POTUS Trump to waste time meeting with nurses and low-wage workers? Photo ops with potential voters when he could be meeting with CDC and the Surgeon General? TDS!

    He has and is meeting with the best doctors in the world.

    He is meeting with CEO's because American Businesses are the largest and best equipped group in the world to defeat the virus. And they will need to bear much of the costs in protecting American workers, like the nurses and low-wage workers you mentioned.

    No government or army anywhere has the personnel, the expertise, the knowledge, the systems already in place, the inventors, the scientists, the medical facilities and staffing, the sheer ingenuity and ambition that exists nowhere else in the world.

    According to my chiropractor yesterday, friends of his just paid $99 for a direct flight from PDX to Maui. And flights to Vegas are as low as $19. Too bad I’m not interested in either place......

    I don’t know about that. The Pahoa area on the Big Island could be a great place to ride this out. Freshest air on the planet (as long as the volcano isn’t erupting), cheap rents, not many people, warm weather. Doesn’t sound too bad to me.

    Grocery stores are a madhouse right now.

    Great, now you people take this seriously and go the absolute opposite direction.

    Not sure what you mean - wouldn't we be attracted to a madhouse? Birds of a feather....

    My wife had to go to 5 stores yesterday to just get her normal groceries... This morning the local stores were mostly restocked though, had to make a run for moving supplies.

    My Asian dry cleaner had some sad stories of the racism his family has experienced lately.

    No shortage of supplies here in La Pine stores, but most people around here already have a good stock of staples because, you know, common sense.

    Contrast that with the mild amount of panic and empty shelves in Bend and Sisters due to them being the snowflake cities of Beautiful Central Oregon.

    I think I mentioned my friend with all the guns and ammo before. This is the way my pantry always looks. My wife has stayed away from the stores. We probably don't have as much TP as all the people who have been stocking up but anyway...my buddy with the guns and 1000s of rounds of ammo is ready to come here with his wife if it gets necessary.

    I've been making fun of her for the pantry being like this for years. There is probably 2 months worth of toilet paper behind the door IMG_20200314_124613_01.jpg

    One more thing people...jesus. My wife's co-worker took her 77 year old mom to Sam's Club on Thursday.

    I asked why she would do that. My wife said because her mom didn't have a membership. I said she could go to Sam's Club and buy stuff for her mom and take it to her instead of exposing her to a thousand panicking morons who might actually be sick.

    This is the prequel to Idiocracy.
