To me this feels like we are in the eye of the hurricane

A heavy storm rolls in then the eye and things feel calmer then BAM!

NY California Washington, they were the first waves. They didnt have a choice they just got blasted out of nowhere and had to react.

Now the storm is heading inland.

Blue staters, pro science, pro doctor people....us... we get it. its a fucking virus. its not just going to disappear. ride out the wave hunker down minimize risk, wait for the vaccine and the doctors. It will come.

Whats sad is that the red staters have the same information we do but they turned it into a political issue instead of a data issue so they are going to go out there and walk right into the storm. hell, feed the storm, make it worse, make the eye stall and the clouds just circle and circle the rain pounding down hour after hour, the water flooding your towns.

I think this is going to wipe out not only a lot of right wingers physically because they are asking for it and tend to be at the highest demographic risk, but when its all over the people who are left are not going to be big fans of right wing ideology.

We could see leftism, socialism, us-ism, call it whatever you want, the stuff that western europe has, become seriously popular here for generations.

1. We are nowhere near done yet.

Global health and climate change crisis at the same time.

2. and a great depression

Reality is going to sink in. The real estate market is going to drastically change. The hospitality industry is DOA. Eighty percent of restaurants are expected to close. Food supplies will be short. Meat production....way down. NYT has an article today that meat will disappear from our tables. Downtown cores will waste away as more people work from home in perpetuity. Infrastructure will worsen.

Yep. It's a whole new world.

3. and if you ask the gop what their plan is for all that? OPEN THE ECONOMY!

thats it thats all the got.

not...lets make sure people dont starve to death over the next 8-12 months.

the only plan they have is plan A. open up.

if you are looking for them for plan B? it doesnt exist.

plan B requires a LOT of socialism.

4. ...and eventual hyperinflation.

The Federal Reserve is going to monetize just about any financial instrument it can get it paws on by the time this ends.

7. Add to this escalation of nuclear testing by the US.

Just read that the tRump administration is looking at a nuclear test in the near future. Apparently we don't have enough on our plate, now the orange menace wants to add nuclear fears to what this country is already dealing with. Does anyone else feel that we just can't win with the idiot in the White House?

5. We already knew they were perfectly willing to sacrifice our lives to keep making money,

now we'll find out just how many have to die before people rise up and demand change.

6. Considering...

Considering that 80% of the population has not been infected yet, that leaves a lot of openings for the virus to spread, and it will.

8. We're no were near the eye sans NY Metro, Maddow has been showing this for weeks that the rest

... of the nation is being lit up and the CDC is conflating numbers and the Trump admin lying to us with few people in the CDC willing to tell the truth.

9. Unfortunately the smart/sane ones who save/deal with idiots who...

Choose to party on without a care during a 'hurricane' are being put at increased risk as well.

Dear adult Cult45/COVIdiots... It's your right to risk YOUR life only when it's only YOUR life you put at risk.
