As long as Amazon Fresh continues to deliver bourbon, I'm good

[clipless bumper]

We MUST MUST MUST get off chinas nipple and start producing things back here in good ole USA

Its not just lip service and "Merica" type talk , its real shit. they make almost everything over their and they fucking steal a bunch of it, its crazy that we make most of our medicine, respirators and other vital equipment over there. There is some talk about bringing it back to production here and it cant be soon enough imo

.

+1

+ the fact that they are threatening to withhold antibiotics and other supplies from us (even if manufactured by/for American-backed companies) simply confirms it.

Another senator dumped millions in stocks before the market crashed. Sen. Loeffer. This is getting so seedy.

[clipless bumper]

It's been seedy for decades now - definitely not the first time government officials have used insider information.

Behind flat-out corruption, it's their main M.O.

[TurboPablo]

I know. I meant this situation. They both need to resign immediately.

And by "resign" i assume you mean "go to prison. "

One foot in front of the other. But, yeah. Prison.

It gets EVEN BETTER....

Loeffer's husband is the chairman of the NYSE.

Buckle up, shit about to hit the fan. Hope you have a backup supply because by this weekend it could get ugly. Flattened curve in the US ain't gonna happen until people wake the fuck up. Stay safe and best of luck.

[clipless bumper]

I don't know, I think people are doing a lot of good actions that are affecting the spread. The question of 'are we going too far' is legitimate. I realize that depending where you live had a lot to do with your view.

Especially if a prophylactic measure they are looking at is viable. We need to get back to work within a very few more weeks.

From a NY Post article...

"Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), whose husband is the chairman and CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, began selling off more than a million dollars in stocks on the same day as the closed-door Senate meeting on Friday, Jan. 24, reports The Daily Beast.

Over the next three weeks, through Feb. 14, Loeffler made 27 sales worth between $1,275,000 and $3,100,000, before the market nosedived and her holdings’ values tanked.

She also purchased stocks on Feb. 14 from two work-from-home related companies Citrix, which specializes in teleworking software, and another tech frim, Oracle, according to the report.

“Appreciate today’s briefing from the President’s top health officials on the novel coronavirus outbreak,” she tweeted after the meeting.

Even after allegedly dumping her holdings, Loeffler bashed Democrats for playing up the threats of the virus:
“Democrats have dangerously and intentionally misled the American people on #Coronavirus readiness,” she tweeted in late February. “Here’s the truth: @realDonaldTrump & his administration are doing a great job working to keep Americans healthy & safe.”

LOL!!!

L.A. is officially shut down for all non-essential business activity and public gathering until April 19th.

If we make it to April 20th we will definitely have to celebrate.

I don’t care what you call it, whatever it is you measure yourself against that makes you small in the final analysis, see if you can get that thing to resonate in harmony with whatever it is we need to meet this challenge like the amazing creatures we are. Hug your loved ones and strap in. We’re gonna fucking need each other.

[nightflameauto]

I wonder in the final analysis how many government officials will be found out to have sold off millions of dollars in stocks right before the crash?

Lots of weird vibes in the air right now. Working from home multiple days in a row is super weird for me. My only contact with coworkers has been through online tools and texts. I'm used to being able to yell across the hall when the boss fucks something up, or a coworker needs a subtle reminder to shut the fuck up. I'm getting way more done, but it's just a not-so-subtle reminder to me that I'm way more a social creature than I used to be.

Lack of testing around our area is a bitch. There's no real data collection going on, and we're infamous around here for just toughing shit out if we get sick because health plans are essentially ass-rape in financial form with very little to show for it unless you get pneumonia or something you absolutely know you need antibiotics to kick. So it's pretty much assumed even by the few officials talking about it in the area that there are a lot more cases than reported out there. On top of it, the longer incubation period means it could be spreading faster than we know.

Wife's listening to a podcast about it and somebody's saying, "It'll either be all for nothing, or it'll get better." That's the level of info we're getting. No details from any corner. Lots of WTF and not many answers.

Buckle up, buds. Gonna be a stretch here.

[sleewell]

it def would be insider trading if they acted on intel that wasnt available publicly.

even that fuckwad tucker carlson is calling for their resignations.

She, and everyone else who profited (or stemmed losses) by using information ahead of public announcements, need to prosecuted to the limits of the law. For any of those actions that aren't technically illegal, but immoral and deceptive as hell, they should be forced from any job with authority or power and forced to publicly explain their actions. What a bag of dicks...

Agreed. The stupidity of this is bad in the action itself, but then you look at who did it and it's the people that were screaming this is all overblown and/or a hoax at the same time they were panic selling their stocks to stop from loosing all their value.

The fact this many senators have that much fucking money in the stock market is another point of for the American public.

And speaking of stupidity, Gamestop has declared themselves essential in the face of California's crackdown. That's some really serious levels of stupid. And sorta a perfect example of why America, especially corporate America, isn't ready to face something this big with any level of intelligence. "They can't mean me. I'm too important."

I hope whatever corporate drone made that decision gets pinned to the wall in the end. Profit above safety right now is the dumbest thing imaginable.

And now two dogs have tested positive for the virus.

This shit just got soooo fucking personal.

Proof, please. I've seen this claim debunked several times...

Story is out of Hong Kong. It was TMZ reporting so I am being sarcastic.

Trying to make lemonade here...


PPPPPLLLLEEEAAAASSSEEEEE let this be the end of that bitch Diane Feinstein!!!!

[Tortuga]

And now, back to the shitter

....am I the only one who's convinced that Gavin Newsome is working on his presidential plan?

Go, California

[Ry Manchu]

Wasn't Tucker toeing the party line and on his show saying "nothing to see her folks, the President's got this one under control," while behind the scenes he was making phone calls to Trump telling him to take it seriously, the shit's about to hit the fan. Trish Regan gets suspended for saying this is a hoax cooked up by Democracts, meanwhile Hannity and Jeanine Pirro who did the same thing just skate along.

As for these two Congressmen, string em up over the Capitol building like Mussolini. They have forgotten that they are representatives in a Republic, sent to Washington to represent their constituency, who are looking to them for leadership and guidance, not cover-ups to protect the NYSE. They seem to think they are marquises in the court of Louis XIV or Donald Drumpf, whichever.

[sleewell]

tucker was actually the only one on faux taking it seriously from the beginning. reports are that he flew out to mara laga to convince dipshit to take it seriously which is right around when he did his 180.

but he is still a giant asshat for many other reasons.

.

I would wager that respirators, ventilators, gloves, masks, visors and other PPE are about to be manufactured in this country in quantities never seen before. I think the real question is whether this will be a Federal mandate or whether all 50 state governors will band together.
