I’m not sure it’s an exaggeration to suggest that the U.S. would have lost WWII with these people around in 1942. The whole reason U.S. industry was able to overwhelm the Axis with war material was because there was massive rationing across the entire economy. Whole industries that produced discretionary goods shut…

Can you imagine of this woman lived in Britain in 1940?

Not only that, but there’s a good chance California is actually seeing a downward trend, which is what you are supposed to have before you start the phases that the White House (probably really Fauci) suggested. States like Texas and Oklahoma were not seeing an overall downtrend when they started opening up. 

Yeah, I can’t get excited about polling for an election that’s not gonna happen for four months. Just let the RNC have a couple of months of “Biden’s going to make all of us give up out homes to illegal immigrants and take our guns away” and the faithful will fall in line. There is nothing to make these people wise…

Yeah, Pompeo and RWNJs in general getting belligerent with China over COVID-19 is unhelpful (as is blaming the !!!DEEP STATE!!!), but there’s a serious discussion to be had about biowarfare research and the potential existential threat it poses.

Really hoping someone starts pushing Trump/these idiot governors on why they’re opening up the state for business, but not statehouse tours.

Exactly. There’s a huge difference between the cautious reopenings on the West Coast and “fuck it, let’s just pretend we aren’t all going to stroke out or drown in our own shredded lungs” full scale tattoo and haircut jamboree.

Exactly. One tech gets careless washing one vial and whoops, game changer. That does NOT mean it was planned.

No question. It’s just that the malevolent undertones that Trump is attaching to lab aren’t concomitant with the actual possibility.

Agreed. When people hear “lab,” they think malevolent potential chemical warfare and not laboratory which studies, say, mammals of the chiroptera family. And so it sounds like a bizarre conspiracy theory. 

Thank you! The parallel is asinine. California is opening up incrementally. We aren’t “open” as of Friday. Basically retail is being allowed to operate the way restaurants have been operating during SIP. People are still working from home if they can. Schools are still closed. No salons, no in-store non-essential shopp…

I’d say Slumlord Kushner is the Dumpster Keeper, not the Hammer.

Except this very article points out that outside content generators are unlikely to be motivated enough to work or volunteer for Biden.

I imagine them comically wheezing like they’ve just run a marathon and it makes their visage far more entertaining.

Hello, I would like to speak to a specific eel at the aquarium who has helped me through trying times in the past. He is grey and has two eyes, a mouth and a long body. His name is Larle, maybe you know who he is. He hasnt been returning any calls so please put me in contact with Larle when you can. Thank you.

Are you ok? Like honestly, are you good? If you don’t like the skincare review, seriously move on. You’re trying to make some holier than thou moral argument without even having context on the author, lol. My mother is an essential worker, she exposes herself to COVID everyday with an underlying illness. We’re black…

On the one hand, I feel that to be fair, this is a blog about consumerism. On the other hand, yeah, you directed a question to showcase how people who don’t need the emergency funds they are receiving are spending it on crap.  I mean, at least the budget laptop at the end is reasonable, and maybe the 3d printer if it…

Are you fucking kidding me? These checks are supposed to be supporting people who have lost their income and need to pay for silly luxuries like food and rent. This is little better than the LA Lakers getting a PPP loan.

Most of you weren’t helpful at all and tried to drag me

I like how on the original article the vast majority of people jumping in to say, “Are you fucking kidding me with this flippant question? I’m out of work and/or have debts to pay. I can’t afford to spend this on anything but food and rent. Read the room,”
