I think he is full of shit and hasn't taken it.

Yes.

Also, if he's reelected the US is in for an even worse time than the Great Depression.

I'm very concerned about police-overreach, a turn to fascism, etc., especially after the pandemic ends. Most of the powers come from emergency orders, so the assumption is that it won't continue. But it's not impossible that legislators start reworking permanent laws about contact-tracing, isolatio...

I found it difficult to take seriously after he broke the rules that apply to us all and then just kind of shrugged it off. He's clearly reading statements prepared by others 90% of the time and it bothers me that he could use this to gain favour from voters for the next election, despite being obje...

Essential services are to remain open, and you need to take out a permit to leave your house . If you don't get the permit and are caught by the police without it, you can be fined . Also, since early March we are under curfew from 10 PM to 5 or 6 AM. Soldiers can also be seen throughout the day so...

What does "lockdown" amount to in Chile? Up here in Canada, since mid-March the provinces have pretty much shut everything except grocery stores, restaurant-delivery, and essential services down for like two months, banned gatherings of more than five people (including in homes). They even stopped a...

You're never going to get anywhere letting the people in power and their backers who make and re-shape rules that ultimately benefit their own agenda. One of the hardest things to figure out as citizens is how to get more power when we need it, and if we get it, how to use it responsibly. Populist ...

Where is Flea?!

Why does he say July and then 6/24? That's June. So which was it? June? Or July?

I know they like T-Shirts. But I don't know if there are more of them than people who go to Ministry shows.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Ministry is way bigger worldwide than JA is now. In 2001, they couldn't *give away* tickets to see JA in Toronto -- I think they only had a few thousand people out of a possible 15,000+ at the Air Canada Centre. And that was nearly 20 years ago, a decade after they first broke up, a...

Perry commented on that and said how a lot of fans wanted him to remain like his Nothing Shocking/Ritual self but he wanted to change and have a family etc. 15-20 years ago people on these boards were definitely saying stuff like that he should do more drugs, and similar stuff. But since the NINJA ...

On paper Trump doesn't have very much explicit, direct power. He has executive orders, he can veto things, but there are mechanisms that the other branches can use to deal with this. You could just as easily slide W, Bush I, or Reagan, even Obama, into this statement. Heck....Nixon, LBJ, etc. Just ...

How can one person ever represent a country like the USA? It is and always will be a source or division between us. It seems like an antiquated idea anyway. It's like a king or emperor or czar. One person to represent an entire nation created from people all over the world. No single person should ...

Well I guess I was referencing more overall severity/far reaching nature of event impact. Not literally how it impacts. Yeah, like a 9/11 everyday though...... In terms of deaths to an isolated group of civilians, that doesn't impact labor directly. ..... Well, actually, let me correct myself. It d...

I am really concerned about the ripple effects of this thing. The very real possibilities in every sector are horrifying.....add human nature and voila, broken beyond repair. Yup. This is going to permanently change everything. Unless it just magically goes away in 6 mos. I think the question is, w...

might have migrated from Canada

They were already here, and I wasn't informed?! Oh god! What if they're already in my house!

There’s an argument to be made that AirBnB and its fallout in big tourism-heavy cities shows us that more regulation of multi-property owners and income-properties is needed to allow affordable housing and avoid the creation of these weird transitory neighbourhoods where no one actually lives there....

No, not exactly. I didn't say overthrow the CIA-backed fascist government in an armed revolt and then implement a strict centralized economy. Let me put it a different way: take healthcare for an archetype of this sort of thing. An overly simplified, libertarian, capitalist intuition (based on misre...

If Trump wasn't in power, and if someone younger and better than Biden were the Dem nominee, this would be an opportune moment in history to implement lasting corrections to the past 40 years of deregulation and tax-avoidance to pay for this damage. With what money? It is all fake. It is currently ...

Researchers and analysts across the globe think the data suggests that the true number of infections is 10x higher than tested. So... 10 million in the US and maybe 30 million total. Which means the mortality rate is also much, much lower. Yeah, maybe. It depends on whether deaths are not being rep...

Yeah, we live in an age where data analysts will figure out pretty accurately what's being hidden by lack of testing.

:blah: Per capita Qubec and Ontario have much higher rates than most of our states The US isn't doing that bad. You take NY & NJ out of the equation and I'd say we're doing better than most. but go ahead,, keep shitting on us :wave: Where did this come from? I’m not shitting on Americans. It’s your...
