Re: OT: The official Coronavirus “Oh sh*t!” thread
Props for whoever was instrumental in the change of the titling of this thread. Took way too long but better late than never. Original titling was quite offensive TBH, which is why I initially steered clear of it, minus a few posts.

There is major financial fukkery in play right now. Basically, the government is going to hand trillion of dollars to their Wall Street friends (potentially 10 trillion - with a "T"). Both parties have their fingerprints on it. We are becoming a banana republic about as fast as the virus is spreading.

Do you really think I was being that cavalier about this?

People need to rise up already. How many decades are we going to continue to be complacent and ignore the truth of the matter. Our government.. every fkking side of the aisle is corrupt. They need to be forcibly removed. All of them. There is strength in numbers.. but no.. we'd rather take part in rigged elections and protest. Enough is enough already. What are we waiting for and why are we afraid???
Instead we turn to other politicians ??? Da fuq.

I haven't caught up today, but the little I saw indicated I anticipated what happens next.
The Dems did block Trump and the Senate from getting personal bailouts directly, but it sounds like there is still what amounts to a slush fund.
That means what I predicted is about to happen. Trump will cut $50M bailout checks for every company that donates $5-10M to his campaign.
I don't have the full deets yet, but I'm expecting some kind of fuqqery like this

Do you really think I was being that cavalier about this?Anyhow, my apologies. It was meant to be taken as sarcasm/tongue in cheek.
No worries. Didn't even realize you were the OP!

I predict a mini-exodus from the big metropolis'.
The middle of the country is wide open. Come on out to New Mexico.. we have plenty of space.
Cool story.. When I used to have a facebook page I found a childhood friend I grew up with from Sunset Park. We used to skateboard together when we were kids. He and his wife were art teachers at parsons. Well he taught himself to play several instruments. Quit teaching and started making folk music. At this point he left Brooklyn and was living in Rochester and touring. I lined him up with a gig out here in Santa Fe. They liked New Mexico so much they bought a house in a little artsy town called Truth or Consequences. Got the house dirt cheap.. he remodeled it himself. That's home for him now. I haven't spoke to him yet but we both still have families in Brooklyn. Wonder how he's feeling. They have some great hot springs down there.. thinking of a little road trip down there since I have some unexpected time off.

Last I heard, Burr is manning a glory hole in the Senate's men's room to win friends and influence people.

Read the details of the stimulus package without conjecture or sensationalism and make your own determinations.

I'm really sorry to hear that man. Hope you have a cushion to tide you over until this blows over.
