OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Socialism says nothing about short-term or long-term. It's about policies that cause the society as a whole to take care of those with less means. You're basically saying you're okay with short-term socialistic policies, not long-term ones. Which is fine--well, not fine to my worldview, of course, but coherent. But it is still socialism.

Conservatives don't seem to understand that essentially no country is 100% socialism or 100% capitalism. You can be okay with some socialism without the nation devolving into serfdom. The entire debate revolves around how much of each, not which one to go with.

 

AKA trying to be reelected. That's really his only concern, if you ask me. Will that help Americans?I don't anticipate it will. But that's a topic for a different thread.

 

Emergency and disaster situations still differ from short term/long term aid. Its temporary, extraordinary aid in dire situations. Not part of normal day to day life.

However, I'm not against "socialism" per se. I would love for the government to take care of the homeless with food and shelter as long as they take them out of the public view.

Win-win.

I can't. I'm physically handicapped.

 

This from the guy who eats his own turds. I like how you add the corn for texture.

Irrelevant as our president says the virus is behind us and we are well on our way to recovery.

 

I can see how home isolation would be quite tedious for you. Move the chest from one side of the basement to the other. Take break with supermodels. Move the chest from one side of the basement to the other. Supermodel break. Repeat ad infinitum.

 

Well, since the virus didn't magically disappear, Trump did.
