Considering he has been able to twist sexual assault, not fighting in Vietnam, and multiple bankruptcies into getting elected. I feel confident that he can twist his incompetence with covid-19 into a positive for re-election

What is political about a third world dictator that an elected official of a first world nation has repeatedly praised for the dictator like policies they have

I have just started looking at the raycons. did you get the e25 or e55? One of the things holding me back from getting them was the reviews saying the bass overpowered everything else.

Yep. Just gonna finish one more quest and stop lol

He is an unintentional liar? It is not easy to recognize one's own bias

As if warning points matter in the apocalypse

Scifi channel miniseries (back when that was they did). if I recall right it had the highest (double previous record)viewership the channel ever had until the BSG miniseries showed up. It also had a follow up miniseries children of dune. I think the first one is great. It allowed them to go deeper into the story compared to the movie. The second miniseries was simply ok.

It is such a good game. I bought a ps4 because of that game

The early history of christianity forming into a religion and political power is fascinating.

I was catholic because of my mother. But by the time I got into my teens I turned away from religion in general. Now I consider myself an agnostic. I have a fascination with all religions. Mostly in the stories and the evolution of the faiths.

Ff7 remake, check Irish old fashioned, check Shelter in home orders, sure

So you are playing nickelback on repeat?! I'll show myself out...

Ya but, on an anonymous test 76% of Republicans approved of a positive result

Are you really trying to use facts and logic to dispute someone's conspiracy theories? Either the quarantine has you really bored or you just enjoy debunking nonsensical arguements. Either way good on you

This is not a john Lennon song. In the real world the system is designed to benefit the rich and the rich use that money and influence to further the benefits.

You quitting a job because you had to get a flu shot is very telling. As is the use of if you don't like it quit. The common every day worker is not the one paying to have laws passed and regulations curtailed for the benefit of profit margins

Well let's start with the last statement. I need a smartphone because my employer has told me I need one. Earned the right? It is funny hearing that in connection to a discussion on the extremely wealthy, I do have a disdain for titans of industry thou. Because historically they have not been good people. They step on thous below them to raise themselves higher and savagely lash out and destroy any that oppose them

Wyld, thanks for giving us some inside baseball factiods. Has your opinion of the precautions/measures being put into place shifted? Are you still of the opinion that it is mostly overreacting?

So much to disagree with. Strange choice to use punished. But I guess past ultra rich got "punished" by having to accept labor unions, labor laws, and even some required to break apart the monopolies they had formed. Jeff Bezos doesn't have money. I have money. I get paid, I pay a bill or two, I buy groceries, maybe I splurge and buy an expensive bottle of irish whiskey ($60-$80!!!), after that I wait for my next paycheck. Jeff Bezos has wealth, he reaps his profits and decides what industry to take over and conquer next. He throws money at lawmakers and govt representatives for favorable laws and contracts. To say it is the people that are the problem is much like the old saying of "let the buyer beware". Sure it has a grain of truth and wisdom in it but at it's heart it is victim blaming. Because the people only have the power if they are mostly unified in a goal or objective and the wealthy know it. So the game plan is the same as it always has been, divide and conquer. Having said all of the above I should point out I have typed all of it on a smartphone running the android operating system, a google product. But what option did I have? Guess I could have bought an iphone.... illusion of choice is a real bitch

Simple answer? Censorship only applies when the censor disagrees with what was said

Talking with people at work (one of the last days before we all work from home) and I am convinced the whole office had covid-19 back in mid January. We had what we all assumed was a very contagious nasty cold/flu that would last for 2-3 weeks. It spread to near everyone on the floor over 7 days and almost all of their family. Of course no one was tested as nobody was talking about Covid-19 being in the usa

If I could downvote you for showing such restraint I would

Are you trying to tell me that the industry leading in political lobby spending had a bill pass that will allow them to make profits on the pain and suffering of people in relation to the coronavirus?

Just going to say it now, no it won't. Nothing he has said has had a negative impact on his base.

It's fine, didn't the orange man assure us it will go away come springtime?
