That is what the protests are about, the authoritarianism is out of control. Yes, I buy that, absolutely. There should be some oversight of what a Governor can get away with during a State of Emergency. People can protest overtly, or the politician can pay the price on Election Day. Either way, citizens must be able to express their voice, and so I won’t be criticizing them. And with that being said, I’m typing this from my dining room table instead of from my office. I see that there are places that need to go through this pain right now. The mayor of the city in which I work is talking about remaining shut down into July. I’ve got a rainy day fund, but I may be down to cat food tins by the time this is over, and I won’t be getting those rainy day funds back. People without those funds can’t go into July without starving. I wont blast anyone on either side of this (Governors or protestors). 3

Nursing homes still being decimated by the virus all over the country. These are great ideas if every single person practices them, which will absolutely never happen. Do you understand the difference between cause and effect, and leading and lagging indicators? Are you actually proposing imposing the same standard of behavior across the entire country because some nursing homes have awful sanitary conditions? 3 1

Talk about lacking empathy for those suffering financial hardship during this time. You know who else is bored? Those many thousands of people waiting in miles long lines to get food from charity pantries, so that they can put food on their families table. 5 1

It's a blue ribbon level post for stupidity. @jrober38 has been wrong about every single panic induced post he's ever made down here. On every topic. Because fear makes you dumb. 4
Magox Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 I recently returned to PPP after about a 12 month hiatus. I was still frequenting TBD on the football side and I saw this guy JRober's football posts and thought to myself "Man, this guy has some of the worst football takes" I see that he is universally consistent on all topics with his takes. 3 2 2
jrober38 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Anyone seen the price of oil? Holy crap. Texas just went out of business.

People will not be able to cover losses, bankruptcies will happen... And, when all is said and done, the little guy is going to be out of business as the giant oil corporations end up with a near monopoly. And think of all those jobs those small oil companies generate. That is going to be the long term result of this lock down. Some would say that is an unnecessary loss of life due to lack of jobs that pay the bills, feed people, keep roofs over people's heads. Capitalism works until it doesn't.

The US has been one of the hardest hit countries in the world because their social programs are so horrible compared to the rest of the developed world. This is what you get when you have a government that's more interested in corporate bailouts and corporate tax rate cuts than they are about protecting their citizens.

I think "the rest of the world" is hyperbole. Maybe people living in squalor in Central America, but certainly not the whole world.
