“I honestly think that we need to go ahead, everybody just self-quarantine for 14 days. Let’s knock this little bug out,” Dee said.

“It’s a national emergency and I think Mr. Trump is trying to do the best he can. Americans are soft. They’ve been catered to all their damn lives, so they don’t know what hard times are,” Del said.

1. Fuck him. The entire premise of America is to work, generation after generation to make it possible

To create a country where people hopefully never have to “know what hard times are”.

3. Really? Read this:

... the American holdouts need to take a minute to ponder who the enemy is they’re “resisting.” The virus isn’t sentient. It isn’t watching the bar-going hordes and thinking, Wow, I really misjudged these brave Americans; I’m not sure I’m up to this. But let’s say, for the sake of argument, that this is a war. (The Navy’s COVID-19 guidelines are illustrated by a submarine firing a torpedo at a giant coronavirus.) What the virus wants, to the extent that you can even project desire onto it, is to invade your body and then use it to invade your friends’ bodies too. You want to show the virus who’s boss? Want to do your part for the war effort and starve the invader into submission? Deny it the use of your body. Stay home.

6. I'm not against any Covid protocols, I'm against people saying that this will "teach us a lesson"

That’s the epitome of the right wing masochistic mindset

2. Goddamn casinos are pestilent at the best of times. How many people played that slot before you?

5. that's still $200 less for tRump

If he had a good day, the winnings likely would have gone to him

7. and the cards and the chips go from your hand, to the dealer's back to some other

mark's hand and back to yours (if you're lucky).

And the dealer or the other players aren't using hand sanit after each deal or spin.

4. Judged by a fat, soft, hell-raisin', women-chasin', dope-smokin' gambling man named Del?

9. "Americans are soft. They've been catered to all their damn lives,"

You mean like the people who go to casinos to entertain themselves by pissing away money? And of course, while they are in the casinos, their air is cooled and their drinks are chilled, so yeah, casinos are about catering to people.

But many folks associated with casinos do know what hard times are. The people working there who also have to cover living expenses in a community geared towards those who throw money around probably know more about hard times than many of us. And the unfortunate people who throw away money that they need to live on probably experience hard times between every mini-thrill that they get for their efforts at gambling.

Casinos are all about hard times for the many, and catering to those who can who can keep filling up the casinos' coffers whether they can really risk doing so or not.
