Anler Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I trust the public health experts recommendations and Trump is good to implement those. No time for politics at times like this. Will also help establish protocols going forward. I am however (surprisingly) disappointed in what a bunch of scared pussies most people are. Fear is a tool to control and I don't subscribe. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 More could’ve been done quicker to protect the vulnerable population. That’s not so much a trump issue, but a local issue. I saw it first hand. I don’t think this administration would’ve acted as it did without public and media pressure. While some in the media overplayed their hand, their actions did light a fire under Washington’s ass. Too bad that kind of action from the media hadn’t occurred around the lies leading up to the Iraq war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 5% or less of the population? I’m only guessing, but it doesn’t take many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were two kinds of people at the grocery store today. The weirdos and then those that wanted to get their stuff before the weirdos took it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes, some people will die having the virus but the long term economic "sickness" for many will be worse. You wait, in a week or so you'll see how the shit starts hitting the fan. Money talks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree or stores have to start pricing accordingly You'd never think price gouging is good but many economists say in times like this it sets balance Simple supply and demand theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
