Doesn’t matter as all businesses will be shut down by mid to end of May since we still haven’t even been able to hit 1% of each state’s population to be tested. On top of that, 20% would be minimum to ensure safe operating conditions. The interesting thing is doing back of envelope calculations, the death rate is…
Now we’re entering the phase where we need to get things opened back up, get the massive amount of unemployed back to work, and deal with the viral hotspots when they happen.
It was written with input from private carriers lobbyists in a move to try to push towards insolvency and privatization (word was UPS, FedEx wanted to pick the carcasses)
The republican party wants to defund the U.S. Postal service for (at least) two reasons. One is covered here: benefit private corporate alternatives. The other, potentially a whole lot more scary, is to shut down a critical and sensible means of voting: by mail; particularly in these times of social distancing. The…
I’m still amazed they managed to pull that off. “I need you to estimate the costs of all current and future retirees for the next 50 years. And pay for it now. Have a check by 5pm today.” I don’t know if I ever heard the rationale for doing it.

Listen to the apology, it’s bullshit. “I was wrong when I compared it to the Flu.” That’s all he apologizes for, and he’s been on a media blitz basically saying that’s all he was wrong about, playing the “what I really meant” game.

“It’s worth noting that around the same time that Doctor Drew was trying to hide the evidence of how wrong he was, he also provided an apology with an attached excuse.”
Go back and watch/listen to those Loveline episodes. Dr. Drew basically told everyone without vanilla sexual appetites they were abused as a child. It’s pretty awful in retrospect.

2020 can fuck off already.

Hmm. Methinks you write off toilet paper too soon. What do you think will happen when all the peasants hired to wipe your anus inevitably revolt, your physical currency is hidden away in a Swiss bank vault when you’re frolicking in Aspen, hoarders took all the wet wipes and the crumbling world around us shuts off the…
Goodbye FK.
You’ll be missed, Kristen. You’re an excellent writer and I’ve enjoyed your work here immensely. I wish you all the best.
Stock buybacks when you have debt on the books should just be illegal. Nobody who would be hurt by that rule doesn’t deserve it.
1st gear: Fuck ‘em. That’s capitalism, baby.
