    There are people who have lost their livelihoods as a result of this, businesses that may not recover, even with bailout money.   People who are going to need those payments being dangled, that we talk about stashing away in savings or buying games, or whatever.  

    And here you have somebody with insider information on the stock market benefiting from it.   And not only did he benefit, but he was sharing this info with his close buddies and donors.

    It’s pretty bad when Tucker Carlson is calling you out

     

    It feels weird to agree with Tucker Carlson.

    Hahaha, I'm addicted too, need about a 1000 point drop from the +500 we were earlier to clear another pile of cash. I don't see how that doesn't happen at some point tomorrow.  #STONKS

    I hate to say it, man, but that’s not how I’m not tomorrow play out. I think NY and California closing down are already priced in, and unless something bizarre and unforeseen occurs, I actually think tomorrow’s market will be relatively boring.

    This was one of my friends on Facebook TODAY! #thankyoucorona for actually getting people to be clean. #yourfuckingstupid for acting like ants when it’s not that bad. Damn the flu kills more than this “pandemic” virus
    I commented with “you’re a fucking idiot” and then de friended him
     

    Pro tip: delete Facebook and never look back. Stop playing stupid games, stop winning stupid prizes.

    President of The United States of America declares national emergency.
    Governor of Texas declares statewide emergency.
    President of The United States of America says people shouldn't eat in restaurants.
    CDC says people shouldn't eat in restaurants.
    Mayor of Austin issues order that people won't eat in restaurants.

    "MAN FUCK THE MAYOR OF AUSTIN MAN!"

    I wonder what makes the mayor so different than the others. There’s really no way to know.

    Someone joked (?) about if this thing drags on for months, would elections be suspended. I then realized this is the plot of V for Vendetta. 

    Pretty sure it doesn’t work that way. Even without elections, many notable peoples’ terms end in January. They don’t just hang around unless we’ve completely and utterly lost our way as a representative democracy (of which there’s certainly a non-zero chance).

    Then it is a good idea for the grocery stores to leave their carts outside in the side to help kill the virus?

    Just how long does such exposure take to be effective? Makes me wonder if playground equipment in the parks need to be cleaned?

    Congrats on your wife not killing you and her not going to hell. It’s a win-win for all. 
     

    but seriously, glad it worked out this way.

    Mrs. Brat is still undecided about going to 7:30am Mass on Sunday. At least they quit all that grubbing over each other and are supposedly just waving their love greetings.

    However, the Austin Archdiocese Bishop said the religious education classes will resume after Spring Break. Mrs. Brat co-teaches the 1st graders on Monday afternoons. We’ll see if that guy changes his tune in the next week.

    Not being a church-goer myself, she is reluctant to let me influence anything that has to do with her devout religious life.

     

     

    No offense, but I think Mrs. Brat’s on the wrong side here. Whether you go to church or not is immaterial because, unless you live in independent environments completely isolated from each other, she puts you at risk by proxy. If she gets it, you almost certainly get it, and then we’re off to the races.
     

    If there’s a God, I’m sure He or She would rather the each of you not needlessly and pointlessly risk the others’ life.

    Can’t her church do a “tele-service” through Google Hangouts or something that’d allow her to worship from home?

    So how long before we're all told to stay home for two or three weeks?  It's got to be coming, right?

    I’m expecting mandatory work from home policies to become more common in the next couple/few weeks, especially in certain industries. 
     

    I hope I’m wrong, but that’s how I’m reading the optics’ momentum.
