I literally told my wife this morning, “Wouldn’t it be amazing if the US government just came out today and said, ‘Oh shit, we got you good, you fuckers!’”

To make matters even worse, there was an article this morning (CNN, I believe) that basically said one of the things that drove Trump to take this more seriously was that it was affecting more than just Washington, CA, and, NY.

Here’s one

The US government is truly operating like a third-world country.

When people agree with the policies of a tyrant, they tend not to view him as a tyrant.

Wow. What an insane day! 

Too true. I’ll never understand the apparent inability of white people to recognize that brown and black people are able to process a full range of emotions.

Imagine how empty and completely void of substance your life must be that you literally can’t fathom living 6-12 months without adding to your riches.

Oh, I’m 100% certain one group would have ignored anyone. I don’t know how to describe it, but it was like they were only out there make a show about saying “fuck you, sissies, we’re tougher than this virus.”

Unbelievable that some people are so ignorant/arrogant.

Very true. To be honest, I’ve always had a pretty jaded view on humanity, and the last 2 weeks hasn’t done much to change that.

The apartments I live in have told management to work remotely, but never sent out official notices that public areas like the pool and exercise room were being closed.

100% true. My wife is from Singapore, and has a lot of family and friends there.

I went to Target the other night and I called my wife on the phone while I was there. I told her I felt so sad and defeated because of how people are acting.

I could count on ONE hand the number of people with them on

That’s the same logic Trump uses when he graciously hands out help to Florida and Texas after a hurricane, for instance, but threatens to pull California’s wildfire funds.

I had a frightening road incident with a white trash individual several years ago.

There’s actually a good number of owners and ownership groups who are doing something to help affected workers (https://www.si.com/nba/2020/03/14/nba-teams-players-help-pay-workers).

I know Trump will short circuit if he tells the truth, but really, what’s the point of lying? If they’ve been tested and it’s negative, why not just say so?
