With respect there is a HUGE difference between a Stormtrooper costume and someone dressed up as a police officer. No sane person believes a Stormtrooper is an authority figure that can act with the weight of law. 

So much this. I’ve worked with so many men, white and others, who flip out when they don’t get promoted and assume it is because of their ethnic background when in reality they are assholes, misogynists, etc. that other people hate working with.

I just had a very tense, long distance, conversation with a conservative about this. I said, “Take Trump’s name out of this and put what happened on any leader. Is it ok for a leader during a time of plague where 51,000 people have died to act sarcastically, jokingly, or in any way that is not serious during a live…

Not just misinformed but misinformed by the Democrats and MSM. They are already doing it in some cases. 

And as I understand it the government pumps money into some of these think tanks because they are privately held and therefore immune to FOIA requests.

This is what happens when someone goes through life never having to suffer consequences for their actions. Apparently she can’t fathom this going wrong in any way for her.

Perfect

That’s your money. It came from your taxes.

Oddly enough they also don’t think they have any responsibility for avoiding infection so they don’t spread it to anyone at all. Strange Christian attitude, strange party of responsibility attitude, strange party of life attitude.

It’s almost like these conservative personalities are running some long con on the conservative Christians of the country to enrich themselves and gain power. 

Just think of how much COVID laced breath is potentially rolling off those windows.

All the more proof that these fuckwits are more concerned about minorities and liberals than overreach of authority.

I know someone who honestly believes that the COVID tests are deploying nanotech trackers into people’s body and anyone those don’t get the eventual vaccine will.

Agreed. In the mind of the rich and political it’s always our fault, our lack of work, our lack of discipline, our lack of planning. Oh no, it is never the fault of the people in charge and too many of us just bite down deep on that shit sandwich and agree that we are the cause of the problem instead of the bystander…

I’ve been in the same boat for most of my career. Meetings all day in rooms designed for 8 people packed with 10+. I’m so grateful right now because both my wife and I can work from home and our industries are essential and running during all of this. 

I’m also curious to how social distancing is supposed to happen in the workplace according to these politicians. I’ve never had a single job where I could stay 6ft away from people all day long every day in any office space, or work area. I’m sure there are some jobs that allow it but a majority? I wouldn’t put money…

If these people go out and get sick and then kill their grandparents and parents maybe they’ll believe. I don’t know any other answer to someone who denies this is a thing.

D because they’re sick of this human nonsense going on. 

I’m sitting on my ass giving 0 fucks about productivity more or less. What I care about is not being stressed, not letting myself slide on sleep, and keeping myself in good spirits because those all contribute to better health and immune response. That is more important than making sure an extra report is done extra…

Exactly.
