And the number that come back hugely disillusioned is also high.

Was there some sort of provision in the bill that prevented legislatures in red states from capping UI at previous income minus $600 so that no one makes more than they were while working once the $600 is added? They could even claim that they were doing it to preserve state funds so that they could afford to pay benefits for longer. What would be the fallout if they tried?
They will do whatever they need to keep Trump in office. It’s not gonna be to help Americans pay bills or anything noble. It’s about staying in power.

There’s a lot of racism in healthcare too. A lot of idiot republicans will die, but when the hospitals in their communities are overrun they will get airlifted to cities to get an icu bed while poor minorities die in the hallways of emergency rooms.

3000 people died on 9/11 man, there’s no making sense of this. i blame trump obviously. howard stern said it great recently, it’s like if the joker from batman became president. 1/3 of the country is going nuts because their leader is nuts

man this is going to be a veryyyy long year for this country. I was thinking about leaving back home in 10 years or so but with things going how they are I might do that really soon
My first thought was “I would never want to be there even prepandemic. All those people. Looks purely miserable.”
Right now it is just total collective insanity or a picture taken a year ago.
Obviously just a telephoto lens.

I think you might be right in reference to his specific quote, but I took it in the general sense of “there’s no way I’m voting to give those lazy poors any more handouts, period.” I hope I’m wrong.
People are so stupid

I didn’t realize you could render masks invisible with a telephoto lense. TIL.

I really wish I was that aggressively moronic.
You would be happier probably.

If you have an easy out to some other reasonably sane country you should probably take it. Every aspect of the US seems to be in decline with little hope on the horizon.
Sorta. Barbers freaking butcher my hair because they’re not used to the thickness.
This is so sad and so true. My wife and I frequently talk about where we might want to go if/when things get worse.
Deplorables got their $1000 tax break though.
There needs to be a skit about The Walking Dead where Rick Grimes has to listen to non-stop whining about being locked down. One of them needs to get a haircut, the flu kills more people, muh constitutional rights, and, of course, sure some of you will get eaten by the zombies but what about the economy?

My daughter was tested for a new job and showed antibodies. What a relief off my mind. She already had it and she’s okay. She’s almost always sick with something so has no idea when she had it.
Found out the same today about my fave aunt. She’s getting up there and I was worried for her and my uncle, but they’ve got antibodies. They are rarely ill and can guess when they were sick.
Tots and prayers for the rest of y’all
