The people pushing for opening the country are narcissitic, and they expect us to be like them in our self interest .
To not give a shit about each other. They assume we are greedy and stupid.
Because they see us as expendable inferiors with just as much cruelty and power abuse as they have inside themselves ,they see us as competing enemies who would take thier wealth and power away or they think we are so "weak" we'd tolerate slavery.
So they are pushing people to die off. To reduce the population.
They're Nazis.
Automation has made so many jobs vanish already. These monsters want a cashless society and as much as possible automated so they don't have to pay people.
We are in the position of power right now and we need to put demands on these fuckers,deprive them until they give in. We could destroy thier hegemony if we choose to. Like they say everyone has a price.
So fuck the rich and republicans, don't die for the Dow. Stay at home.
We are in a position of power over these fuckers right now. So refuse to feed thier money machine with our labor. Remember they want cheap labor or even better slave labor and robots. Do not give it to them.

(2,700 posts)it should be too big not to fail.....if we peons would stick together..downsize to local solutions, coops, and focus on we the people instead of mega-Corp we might stand a chance to overcome climate change and other threats (including pandemics to come). If we could suck our money back out of the 1% and into our hands people would adapt. Our economic engine is running...it is the front-line responders, the essential workers, the educators, the scientists, us!

Most sane people if they could see why this monstrous way we live is destroying everything ,I hope would choose to abandon it,if they could see it and be honest about it and give/ get support through this transition. The transition that would save our world.

Who says we cannot do the same as India? The greedy assholes that want us to die for the Dow.

(12,463 posts)I don't wanna get culled,no one should take that risk.
The infrastructure and money to protect us all exists and could be used to help all of us if we did not go along with the demands of rich insatiably greedy sociopaths..
We keep letting republicans get away with shit,we could say no more you are not allowed to hurt or kill us via the market and money. We need solidarity,compassion and the desire to stop a system that abuses us with a zero sum nightmare..

(20,868 posts)I don't particularly like take-out food and the two places that are doing this are places that I've been to one time and one time only.
Today, I wake-up to an *ALERT* that anyone that went to one of these two places should contact the health dept.
Seems an outbreak of COVID-19 has popped up here that is related to one of these two restaurants!
I just ordered some more organic pancake mix I found after that!
It is called BIRCH BENDERS ORGANIC PANCAKE MIX.
Great stuff as you only need water!
I'm not going anywhere after hearing this and I have lots of pancake mix on the way!
Learn to cook. It doesn't take much if all you have to do is add water!
Yikes!
Please do STAY HOME!
& recommend!

(12,463 posts)Are good. They make sugar free syrup too.
Had to figure out the mix to water ratio as I like thicker pancakes.
Anyways I hope you are not in danger from going to the restaurant.
