  1. Latest Coronavirus Relief Draft Bill Includes Suspending Car Payments: https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/pelosis-25-trillion-stimulus-bill-delays-mortgage-car-payments Good grief.
  2. The world isn't fair, so therefore not all can be "successful". Get used to it.
  3. Arizona man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine to treat coronavirus: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/health/arizona-coronavirus-chloroquine-death/index.html <TDS>Absolutely, positively, 100% Mr. Trump's fault.</TDS>
  4. If a person is found to have it they can be forcibly quarantined so as not to spread it even further.
  5. EVERYBODY should be tested, whether they currently exhibit symptoms or not. Right?
  6. I'm sorry, you closed? For good? An essential business as defined by the state?
  7. Are you lucky enough to be labeled an "essential business" by Mr. Holcomb, IO?
  8. Why not? Why can't I, now a member of the non-essential class of human beings, get in line at Eli Lilly for a COVID-19 test?
  9. *sigh* Social Justice Warrior. How can this inequality of testing stand, gonzo?
  10. Nanny government is coming to bail everyone out. Of course the ultimate cost of these possibly multiple bailouts will be born by our children and grandchildren, so nobody really cares. The federal government is nearing the limit of what it can borrow. How many $2 trillion dollars checks do we think Uncle Sam can cash?
  11. When this is all over, don’t expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around.: https://reason.com/2020/03/23/with-covid-19-that-which-is-not-forbidden-is-mandatory-and-subsidized/ Forget that government officials' idea of "critical" may not match yours (Reason's Eric Boehm points out that politicians may disdain laundromats, but they're a necessity for many people). Forget, too, that you can't shut down parts of an economy without affecting the whole thing. The politicians don't care, and they'll enforce their whims: violation of the California order is a misdemeanor, "punishable by a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for not to exceed six months or by both." States including Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, threaten similar penalties for not obeying government orders. Of course, smothering whole sectors of the economy, and maybe the whole thing, might end up being a bit pricey. We should get ready for "a tsunami of economic destruction that will cause tens of millions to lose their jobs as commerce and production simply cease," the Wall Street Journal editorial board warns. Not to worry, the government has a plan. Another plan, that is. After ordering people to close businesses and having killed jobs, while threatening to nationalize procurement for the healthcare industry, government leaders want to make it all better by moving money around to offset the losses. With a price tag closing in on $2 trillion, Democrats and Republicans are competing to stuff favored corporate bailouts, interest-group payoffs, unemployment benefits for those forcibly sidelined, and more, more, more! The ultimate result will be to transform a more-or-less free society, driven by individual preferences and private decision-making, into one in which planning is centralized and costs are shifted according to governmental priorities. You can assume that some calculation will be built into that spending, too – rewards for friends and punishment for enemies, as is always the case in politics. That is, we're becoming a country in which much of what we do is both mandatory and subsidized. When this is all over, don't expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around. That's a hard habit to break. You can be certain, though, that they'll want us to thank them profusely for the checks they cut to offset some of what they inflict on us. Exactly. America is quickly becoming a police state, and a lot of it won't end once this COVID-19 scare is over. After all what will happen when "COVID-20" comes around, we need to keep all of these restrictions, rules, and regulations in place so we will be better prepared. Right?
  12. So you work at a Dry Cleaners or an Office Max? : https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/2496.htm An interesting list. Our optometrist office called last night at like 9pm wondering if we could reschedule two appointments that we had for next week to Tuesday afternoon, 3/24/2020, in an attempt to get around Mr. Holcomb's ban.
  13. https://fox59.com/news/coronavirus/eli-lilly-to-offer-drive-thru-covid-19-testing-for-health-care-workers-in-indianapolis/ But apparently you have to be a health care worker. How can SJW's stand this inequality?
  14. Back to Work by March 30: A Coronavirus Imperative: https://spectator.org/back-to-work-by-march-30-a-coronavirus-imperative/
  15. You obviously don't know many libertarians. How is living like a sheep in your mom's basement going? She still bringing you meals? And exactly how does the "being tested" automatically equate to "testing positive". Does the article state Mr. Paul visiting the gym after testing positive for COVID-19? Your SJW and TDS is showing again.
  16. No, Gonzo. I gave you the logical proof you asked for. Now you are just spinning and stretching your self into oblivion. Again.
  17. Here's what Indiana's 'stay at home order' means during the coronavirus pandemic: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2020/03/23/indianas-stay-home-order-what-means-how-long-lasts/2899240001/ "Outdoor activities such as walking." Good, should be no issues with my short hiking and backpacking trip planned for later in the week. Not that such an order would stop me in the first place.................
  18. I believe it was you or your sockpuppet Barry who brought up the subject, not I. I simply asked for proof of the assertion. That is hardly a "debate". Although to somebody as simple minded as you it probably seems like it.
  19. We Will Regret Not Taking the Economic Effects of Mass Quarantine More Seriously: https://reason.com/2020/03/23/we-will-regret-not-taking-the-economic-effects-of-mass-quarantine-more-seriously/ Elsewhere, the Nobel Prize–winning biophysicist Michael Levitt, who predicted—apparently accurately—a much-swifter decline in coronavirus spread in China and elsewhere, is arguing that an overreaction to the disease could do more damage than the disease itself. The Los Angeles Times reports: Levitt isn't waving away health concerns, but he's following the numbers as he finds them. Even in heavily affected countries such as Iran, which is reportedly suffering from a lack of medical resources, new infections have leveled off: On March 19, the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal argued that "no society can safeguard public health for long at the cost of its overall economic health." Just a few days ago, it seemed plausible to argue for a more measured response to the pandemic, one that balanced several areas of concern, including the economy, civil liberties, and the psychological effects of quarantines: Not even a full week later, those concerns seem as distant and irrelevant as arguments against massive (and ineffective) stimulus spending in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. If the problem this time is literally new—"the novel coronavirus"—the politics are all too familiar. As the Journal editors put it: For the next few weeks (months? years?), nothing will matter more to politicians and the media except increasingly stringent public health measures that will become more draconian (and probably less successful) than those taken in countries such as South Korea, where life is beginning to drift back to normal. But as the window on a measured response gets nailed shut like the apartment doors of infected residents in China reportedly were, we should put in a marker to come back to these questions whenever life returns to normal. These policies are killing the United States of America, and that death is not from the COVID-19.
  20. Why yes, everyone keeps a full-sized American Flag and what looks to be some kind of fern in their bathroom. Just keep digging your hole of stupidity gonzo. It is quite humorous.
