    0.02% FOH. To destroy a whole fucking country. And trust me, it hits close to home, both my parents were in the hospital and are over 70.

    not propping up the working class for the duration to get back on track was bonkers.....not having a plan to curb this and lessen the damage was bonkers....the left didn't put 30% of the country out of work...Trump's dismantling of important agencies and balking at locking down did....fuck the dumb shit...this was a huge mistake by the president and his administration

    The left (after it was shown that it wasnt that catastrophic of a virus), continued to keep people locked down and keep businesses closed. did they not? Still are, except when they go out and riot, then its ok to not fucking wear a mask. But dont worry, i gotta go wear one when i go to new seasons

    Would you still be as callous if your folks hadn't recovered?

    Absolutely. There is an inherit risk to life. I have kids. I hope my kids will be able to enjoy the life my parents had until they hit their 70s.

    ya that socialism isn't such a bad concept.

    and that healthcare and education and a livable minimum wage are essential.

    one can only hope

    the world and any sensible people with long term safety and patience for anitdotes to inoculate and get back to normal...the longer assholes pretend to be impatient and need the instant gratification of the bar or disco....the longer it's going to take to lick this thing....should be done already if we'd been smart in the first place....too late now...don't make my kids sick by ignoring science....buckle up

    Its really not about the Bar or Disco. Thats not what im talking about. There are hospitals all over the country that are firing doctors and nurses because they are at 20% capacity. Thats ridiculous. Let alone restaurants, waiters, drivers, etc etc

    you should hear what Mark Cuban says about this....opening businesses until it's safe will generate huge retail losses because they won't move enough product to pay rent on the store or wages...they will all be at 20% capacity and if a doctor or nurse is laid off they can file for unemployment just like my wife did...she cared for the disabled for a living...now she's gardening..we adapt or we become homeless

    Unemployment runs out too...and then what? Just in Oregon i read yesterday that 50% of those that have filed for it have not received a dime (both of my parents included). And for those that have its great, but the money will run out. There is no free lunch

    And so then you get marginally normal people (not antifa) who have nothing better to do, get no unemployment, have no job, have been stuck in their homes for months.....why not go out and riot. Theres nothing to lose. This is a very very dangerous time and combination

    anyone can find a job tomorrow....you just have to be willing to work in public service...drivers are in demand...so are food workers and grocers....many won't be able to work in their old jobs
