I liked the “Old Normal”, too.

I blame blatant and institutional racism. The CNN reporter that was arrested was black, while other off-camera reporters were in the same vicinity were not. They were white.

...obviously there is a culture issue when their colleagues do not do anything to stop bad behavior...

Silence is golden...

Damn, you’re lucky! Here in WV, I’ve been avoiding Lowe’s like the... well, ok, not like, but because of the plague. I’ve driven up there a couple of times and the parking lot has been packed.  A couple of friends who have had to make trip there for emergency repairs tell me we’ve got about 10-20% mask wearing rate. …

My state is willing to shell out millions of dollars to private corporations to build prisons, but can’t reopen vacant hospitals to treat COVID patients? Something’s wrong here.

Live in TN, can confirm. I think the South wants to secede so they can bring back slavery for everyone except the 1% 

Well taking care of the sick doesn’t make any money!! So no, it’s better they die so more prisons can be built!!

If Trump comes to your workplace, show solidarity with teh president and take off your masks while he’s speaking! We can only show the uselessness of masks if, when he’s around, everyone who supports him takes of their masks! Come on sheeple! Fight teh democrat propaganda. Take off your masks when Trump’s around!!!1!

1st:

Mask-wearing here in Ohio depends on where you go. Shoppers lean towards masks (at least 2 out of 3 during a short time in a pharmacy pickup line at my local Meijers on two occasions). The just-opened bars, very fuckin’ few, based on photos I’ve seen.

Ah the fishbowl.....the connoisseurs answer to “The margi mix ain’t good but if we give you enough of it, you really won’t give a shit.”

Casagallardo is actually Spanish for Bennigans. You did not have a good chimichanga.

“I know the rule of thumb is that a used car should be taken to a third-party mechanic to be checked out before a purchase, but is that still applicable to CPOs”

A certification is only as good as the technician filling out the paperwork. There is a difference between estimating brake pad thickness by looking through the rim, and taking the wheel off, disassembling the brakes, checking piston and pin movement, and measuring rotors. I’ve seen some horror stories on the hoist,…

Last time I was able to haggle the price of her vehicle down to a price we were happy with. I’d rather avoid this.

I was shopping CPO Audi’s a few years ago. The CPO A6 I drove had a non-working back up camera that looked like what the Playboy channel would look like if you didn’t have a subscription in 1982. At the same dealer, I also drove a CPO SQ5 that had a past due service reminder lit up on the dash and had what looked like…

Funny how easy it is to be libertarian when all the infrastructure is already in place.

I am so sick of socialized risk. I am in a tax bracket that gets soaked to pay for those above and below me. I can handle helping the less fortunate, but subsidizing the hyper wealthy makes me want to smash things.

Can we please stop pretending we get any efficiency out of capitalism if we keep using government cash to prop up large corporations that get too moribund.

If they need aid, break them up into chunks that can safely fail.
