To be fair and consistent with conservative politics, the amount of money doled out to each citizen should be scaled according the the recipients' actual salary.  The CEO of Acme Corp will have much higher debt obligations than than the guy who pours my coffee at Dunkin Donuts.  A thousand dollars doesn't make a day's payment on his yacht.  Fairness dictates that those in the top 1% should receive payments on an order of 10,000 times greater than a social worker or cashier at Walmart, whose lazy asses don't deserve more than a check for $5.

Fuck the economy.  Give everyone a trillion dollars! (not sarcasm).  Zimbabwe is Wakanda.

Schools are closed here. As of today we are working from home if we can. You can go in to the office if you need to so no layoffs. Yet.

The boss is worried about the sick leave policy currently being discussed in DC. If he has to pay all 266 of us two weeks of sick leave we haven't earned it will probably put the company out of business.

The entire economy is a house of cards.  Burn it all down, like we should have in 2008.  We shouldn't have given banks, in US and in Europe, 14 trillion dollars.  It should have been given to the citizens (bottom up support, not tickle down).  We don't know any true economics, just urban myths.  We don't even understand the money in our pocket, in our debit card, in our credit card.  Stupid Apes! - Charlton Heston

What is the word Republicans use for socialism when it's their idea?

"Concentration Camp".  Dems prefer the term "Gulag".

I think their arming themselves to protect from others with guns breaking into their houses and stealing things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer

You think you are joking.  But you don't know Americans.  We talk big but do little.  So we think about Zombie apocalypse, but we won't actually do it.

I do not plan on invading my neighbors property to steal there stuff.  But if their husband dies, I might form a harem ;-)

They've been saying in the papers the NHS will begin asking those with diabetes and other health conditions to self quarantine for 12 weeks.

Looks like I'll be joining my mother in purgatory.

Well, up until today, I had actually been supportive of our Republican governor's work on limiting the coronavirus spread in Ohio.  He's been very good about staying ahead of it, not fearmongering, prepping people for the measures that are coming rather than just dropping them all in one huge lump.

Until now.  Told by the courts on Monday that he did not have the authority to postpone today's primary. he had the state's department of health chief order them closed as a public health measure.

Now.  Yes, there are good reasons to delay the primary, for the safety of the poll workers, for the sake of older and at-risk voters.

What you don't do is shut them down at the last minute without giving a date certain to hold them, without issuing clarification on whether absentee ballots will continue to be taken, without anything other than "Maybe first week of June".

The Ohio Democratic Party has sued on the grounds that moving an election date is the responsibility of the state legislature, not the governor or the secretary of state -- which is exactly what the court told Governor DeWine on Monday.

Get yer popcorn out and stay tuned.

Politicians will only care about politics, even when people are dying or sick around them.

They can't help it, it's how their programmed. It's why no politician should represent anyone
