I admit I see her general point, but it's self fulfilling thanks to our horrible leaders.  We could have shut everything down for a few months and given everyone stimulus payments for the duration. 

 

Instead we did a half assed lock down in most places and the working class and blue collar middle class can't pay for food and rent unless we reopen. We have truly screwed ourselves for no good reason. Now as a society we are all going to have to learn the hard way unless there is some sort of miracle.

This wretched administration clearly doesn't know what TF it is doing.

They just want to claim everything is fine, push everyone back to work with no money to help them get through (while still bailing out corporations that are laying off workers while taking a slush fund), and declare victory. It won't be long before they order states to stop counting cases and deaths, I'm sure. Sadly, a lot of people will fall for this. 

 

This is their America, and I suppose ours as well by default.

^^Discrimination is a key hallmark of the GOP and Trump administration.

 

 

This is what it has come down to?

That subway should have been down completely.

Don't get me started.

 

I was told by friends that is just the redneck section of San Diego (which is where I like and where this took place) and I was HEATED. I left the South to get away from bulls#$% like this.

Welcome To The (Pandemic) Jungle! Steven Mnuchin gets into a Twitter spat with...Axl Rose of Guns 'N Roses about the pandemic. God help me, Rose made sense and was right.

This looks like potential good news. Rt is going down in most states. Of course not in my idiot infested part of he country, but in the vast majority of states.

Increasing SNAP should be a no brainer in this environment. It's actually good for everyone (including farmers and retailers), but some people just won't see reason.
