Interesting things are definitely going to happen.

Had to stop at the local Walmart today. It was PACKED. Just goes to show you how unethical this lockdown is. I can go to a packed Walmart to buy art supplies but I cant go to the tiny local art store to buy art supplies. The disproportionate hit to small businesses is criminal.

BTW, I read that Wells Fargo has stopped taking HELOC applications.

Good. Now end "reverse" mortgages and shorten the max term of gov backed from 30 to 20 years.

No HELOCs? This will have a ripple effect on plastic surgery and monster truck sales.

Only reason they would stop these is they believe equity factoring will drop.

Even if they figure a disastrous +30% drop in home prices, they can still take HELOC applications for those who owned their homes outright and with no mortgage.

There is damning evidence.

Russian collusion? Really? Nancy is really losing it.

Pathetic.

Daily new cases have been trending down pretty much every day, so have deaths with exceptions like today. It's normal to see a rise in states that have not been affected much prior, doesn't necessarily mean the lockdown or lack thereof is responsible for it. In each area eventually the virus will follow the same curve and those hardest hit are those to come down fastest as well. As long as hospitals aren't overloaded states should be open for business, the daily case rate is largely irrelevant at some point where enough have been exposed. Remember exposed doesn't mean actively infected so the exposure is largely much higher and will eventually provide herd immunity.

The real result of gov backed 30 year mortgages, equity loans, and reverse mortgages is to inflate the costs of homes and make the general population into debt slaves for a handful of banks. We would be far better off with a common goal of everyone owning their main residence outright by age 45 or so. Houses would be less expensive and people would have more money for other endeavors. Only the banks would lose.

It could be argued that Liberals are breaking the law just by being in their party. All they fucking do is collude to commit crimes, fraud and assfuck America.

Quit being criminals you little Shits!

Liberals have lost the definition of Crimes and Criminals.

In 1969 the hong kong flu killed more than 100k Americans while over 400K people were attending Woodstock, including Latinos and blacks, nobody was locked down and nobody was called irresponsible.

liberals have been calling Trump names for last 4 years, what else is new? Those with TDS have major problems that we can't help them with.

If the past 12 years have taught us anything it’s that the banks will not be ALLOWED to lose!

Therefore if you can’t pay rent, don’t pay it! If you can’t pay your mortgage don’t pay it! If enough people do that, it stops being a personal problem and starts being a banker problem which automatically makes it a government problem. And the government always acts fast to solve bank problems.

I read Hertz Rental Car is looking to file for bankruptcy also.

Both Hertz and Avis took a severe beating in their airport based business from Uber/Lyft long before CV-19 came out.

Yeah, but it's been a while and their business should have right sized by now.

Those pointy bras in the 40's and 50's were the reason for the bra rebellion in the 60's.

Women don't bitch about wearing a bra today. They either do or they don't, but they don't have to look like they are wearing traffic cones on their chest.

How many Red States have balanced budgets & receive no Federal tax dollars?

One of the best ways to analyze the financial strength of a state is to examine its credit rating or credit worthiness. Notice Mississippi and Alabama have much better credit ratings than California.

Oh noz an assistant professor said mean things about the ORANGEMANBAD! Surely this will be a tipping point in the sphere of public opinion?!

Newsflash, Nimrod! Most of America thinks the pointy-headed needle-dicks who facilitate elite breeding programs at Ivy League Universities are completely fucking useless.

At this point they’re just pissing on us and not even lying to us that it’s raining. They’re just waggling their dicks around and asking what we are going to do about it?

Honkey debil won't be feasting chocolate delicious, no!

She also asked why the statute would not prevent the state from imposing similar shutdowns during the annual flu season. Roth did not cite a legal or constitutional restriction, but answered that such a move would have “no support in the medical community.”

So, when the pedal hits the metal on the blame game, the Pols will turn on the Public Health Servants (aka Pharma-industrial Complex lobbyists on the public payroll), and hang them out to dry after their utility in shutting shit down and having their dictatorship dress rehearsal? You really call these shucking and jiving figureheads the 'medical community'?

Of course, it is lovely we have the rusty, slow, grinding expensive wheels of the legal system available to us. I am sure they will reach some excellent decisions after a few hundreds of millions of dollars in fees only five years too late.

Uhhhh..except he didn't. You could pay a penalty, or claim practically any hardship and avoid it, even without substantiation (such as in the case of if you were a victim of domestic violence) https://www.healthcare.gov/health-coverage-exemptions/2019-exemptions-catastrophic-coverage/

Yes, but would Dems have voted for !HITLER! over Trump?

Hell yes! Hitler was a National SOCIALIST who believed in top-down totalitarian power. The Dems have been salivating over that kind of control since we normalized relations with China and they got a look at how that government treats its people.

Wasn’t “public health” the reason for Prohibition? And putting Marijuana on Schedule 1?
Narco wars, anyone?
Prescriptions for basic birth control? A public health necessity, clearly!

If we let “public health” dictate our rights, we will shortly have none left.
This latest Covid crisis has made that truth crystal clear.

Pretty much agree with this. Here in the bay area the numbers have been trending down and hospitals empty. Total deaths in SF are 31. Out of a million people. At this point it feels like pure fuck you contempt for the peasants. If you had told me we will shut down a whole economy, gutting years of boom over 31 deaths I would have called you crazy. We had 42 traffic deaths in 2019.
