HeadSet says

Only the banks would lose.

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.

HeadSet says

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!

OccasionalCortex says

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.

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

Ceffer says

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.

Are you suggesting there was some other motive than 'saving lives'? How dare you.

The same people who claim 320M people have to stay inside for months to stop a glorified new version of a broad and old family of common viruses...

... are the same people who claim we can't inconvenience a few thousand Middle Eastern travelers getting on a plane with some extra questions.

I can't even get out into a neighboring wine county and rent a place with a pool and yard so the we're not going stir crazy. WTF it's going to be 80-90 degrees for the first time and the kid is literally running up the walls. GG park or the neighboring dog park get a bit old after the 50th consecutive time. I can only imagine what it feels like for people who live in concrete jungle apartments with no parks nearby. This is def not emotionally healthy. Fuck this shit I may pull a WookieMan, rent an RV and drive to Utah. I work all day from home to support all the deadbeats and those without fault becoming unemployed from the leftoid tyranny on the dole with my tax money and keeping the business afloat. Let me at least get out of the hood for a short vacation you basterds. Leftoids fuck up everything!

jazz_music says

3,000 lives every day at stake?

Tyranny???

And this is a real question?

What happened to everybody? Did you lose your minds???

You are free to stay safe at home and slowly molder, old man. Your few remaining days may be spent indoors yelling at the television.
The rest of us have lives to live and freedoms to exercise and defend from tyranny.

High confidence - we pay the bills, they laughing from us
Low confidence - respect, they know who is the boss

Don't forget the illegal aliens in California. Our tax dollars are being given to them too.

marcus says

Newsome is going to start opening up California

Doesn't seem to be happening.

Might just be a stalling tactic.

The police in Santa Cruz have acquired cute little four wheeler beach buggies for ticketing and chasing recalcitrant rubes off the beach, while the homeless continue to rage and wreak havoc in downtown.

Glad they have their priorities straight.

Well, there's no point in keeping the homeless off the streets because that wouldn't harm the economy at all.

It’s happening, you just live in the wrong place. You think anyone in OC is going to report or enforce anything? Or Riverside County where the Sheriff outright said he won’t...at a county board of Supervisors meeting no less.

My leftoid friends forcefully change the topic to wine (after TDSing all day on the group chat) when I explain to them why the money should go to them not illegals. Leftoids are more brainwashed than any hardcore right-winger, religious zealot or even white supremacist ever could be - I have seen (and met) many cases of those coming back into the mainstream after a long period of extreme views. Whereas recovered leftoids are few and far between. Leftism/regressivism is on par with the brainwashing of a serious religious cult.

It's not surprising to me the Dems want to reopen the economy on a limited basis. Their policies are hurting liberals as well as conservatives, but keep in mind, Newsom doesn't plan to return things to normal until there is a vaccine.

This thread is funny. Because right wanted the opening, now left has no idea how to emotionally handle it. So they pretend to themselves it’s upsetting right.

Lol at people living in delusional world they imagine. Very modern liberal thing.

The only reason leftists like Obummer so much is because he was black and they are virtue signalling. See how open minded and accepting of all races I am: I support a black president.

This also proves how mind programmed people are, especially on the left. The press did a good job of hiding his failures and making that piece of shit look good. Don't forget he was the first president to murder an American citizen and his family without a trial or due process. The man sold out to the corporations and did nothing for the American people that will be remembered.

Tim Aurora says

Trump gave a 20% back to the Companies and Obama sold out to corporations. Brilliant right leaning logic and gaslighting.

Obama gave trillions to banks, while putting forward a bullshit mortgage re-negotiation scheme that was entirely voluntary --- for banks.

Eric Holder studiously ignored a ton of potential lawsuits, and what few he settled for a fraction of the money the banks made on their robosigning and other shennanigans.

And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, if one of the available plans (if the website is working) has hi, on, and you spend $2500/month for a 70/30 plan with a $5000 yearly deductible before it pays jack shit for a family of 4. Just what the median household income of $50k can afford.

Every DC "Regulator" and Bureaucrat wishes for the Clinton-Bush-Obama era to return, so they can become influential bigshots like Eric Holder and his new place of employment.

Misc says

Nope, it wasn't the States. Even left leaning California voted that marriage was between one man and one woman by popular vote.

It was decided by SCOTUS

That's right. Activist Judges suborning Democracy.

Remember, legislating morality is wrong, except when it determines that bathrooms should be open to whichever gender a mentally ill person believes themselves to be that day, or fines people for misgendering a trannie.

It's also why some form of originalism is desirable, otherwise, if Social Activists can get the common meaning of a word like "Gender" changed from "Sex" to "My personal ideas on a certain day", then they can subvert a whole shitload of laws without one legislative act.

What did Gender mean in 1975? It was another term for sex. Gender and Sex didn't start to develop separate meaning in Academia until the late 80s, and much later in society. It should be what the law writers would have understood it in the 60s and 70s, not 2010s.

For the record, President Obama was easily the worst President of my lifetime. Considering Jimmy Carter was a distant second, that’s saying a lot.

But then holding back an economy ready to rage for several years is pretty damn despicable.

Thanks, that was interesting. It's good to know that millions of old books still exist and be consulted even though our owners would like to erase them so that they can rewrite the past.
