More and more does it look like we are going to need a huge general strike with everyone refusing to work for about 2 months. It may cause a lot of people to go homeless if anyone can enforce evictions and many may starve. But the immediate move for companies while the markets crash into the Trumppression would have to be for billionaires to try to forcibly move their companies over seas in attempts to save anything they have left.

The alternative is 100 years of massive viral/bacterial spreads that wipe us out in essential plagues while wealth disparity forces large swaths of the country into slavery.

I really hope it doesn't come to either.. but that's what this administration is forcing the population into.

Edit: Note earlier this year this administration already made massive cuts to NOISH, some of which were reversed, which is the administration that under/in the CDC that pushes research to OSHA to help ensure the health and safety of workers.

The shutdown doesn't give them any extra power to fire people, in fact one could argue there's less.

So they basically doing "let is is cut Medicaid for millions or we will fire these unrelated people"

And Republicans have had the fucking gall to say for decades that anyone besides them "hates America". How the fuck is what they're doing not domestic terrorism? They are doing everything they possibly fucking can to kill and maim this country, both its citizens and its strength as a country. It's so fucked up it's hard to believe it's happening. And millions of fucking morons think all this shit is good. What a sick joke. Honestly it's hard to fathom even formulating a more evil plan than what these suck fuck fascists are rolling out. It summons a hatred deep in me that scares me.

Hmmm. This reads a lot like s solid candidate for the Darwin awards but at a national rather than an individual level. Gutting disease mgmt will inevitably lead to some nasties. While they run their course, those who thumb their noses at disease mgmt ( including vaccines) will not have a good time. With luck, the anti-knowledge gang might diminish in volume!

Grandfather Nurgle approves.

The smart grift would be to make more offices and departments and administrations, and then start contracting that work out to private shell corporations. I’m not quite sure how this is supposed to work.

Are we absolutely sure this guy's body hasn't been taken over by a billion little Laurence Fishburnes? Because you can't get much more "pro-virus" at this point without smearing viral substrate on random folks on the street.

I've always wanted to die of dysentery.

Then they retracted a bunch. Morons.

It can only good happen.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

As many states as possible need to just start cutting off as much influence from the feds as possible. Preferably including arresting and/or disappearing fuckwads like Kennedy, they ain't just dangerous they are an active threat to humanity, especially Kennedy.

What? Does Nurgle have a super PAC or something?

If you had any respect for the 2nd amendment defenders, his the fuck can you have any left at this point?

A cursory search and I couldn't find anything. I might have to go digging. But...

I'm sure during the COVID lockdown years, as I was reading more into pandemics, there was a scientific conclusion that we'd not yet seen a major worldwide pandemic event that started in the Americas.
