  • what's going on in Nawlins???
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

    • Just got back from the food store. Is everyone here having pasta for dinner? Sure seemed like it.

      • I decided to buy a gun today. Figured now was the time if I ever was going to buy one. I was amazed how unbelievably easy it was, and the forms needed were bordering on the ridiculous. One of the questions was “Are you a drunkard.” I’m not kidding.

        When I sign up a new financial advisory client, they need 5x more forms and information than what was needed to walk away, in 30 minutes, with a brand new pistol and concealed carry permit.

                There were other questions that I’m just not sure how the powers that be could check:
                - have you ever renounced your citizenship
                - do you plan on shooting someone

                It’s kind of like asking a criminal “are you planning on committing a crime?” No? Oh, OK then!

                            Smart. You can’t be too careful these days.

The coronavirus is the common cold, folks," he claimed.
                              How would anyone listen to this asshole at this point ? How does he have any credibility at all ? Fuck that guy. But I'm sure there is some great explanation about how he is right about this.

                              • for NY/NJ folks: you know I am not the alarmist type, and yes I'm still not panicking.

                                but I am close to someone who is on those high-level medical calls these days and.... it's not good. privately, they already say even more emphatically today what Gov Cuomo suggested: we're not going to have enough medical beds and staff in the area over the next couple of weeks.

                                we'll see how dramatically the benefit of the just-issued closure orders will be 30 days from now - it will help a lot, obviously, but still maybe not enough.

                                if you know someone who is still commuting to work on buses or trains - or even commuting into NYC at all - please tell them to stop immediately. lie to their bosses if they have to. and don't pick now to come up with any other injury or ailment because...

                                some states may be seen to have overreacted, in retrospect, months from now (or not).

                                spoiler alert: NY and NJ were too slow, as experts now say is all but certain to play out by the end of this week, or next week (there will be plenty of blame to go around - but for now we need to focus).

                                sorry to seem like Debbie Downer, but this seems way too important not to share.

                                be safe out there, NY/NJ! (and everyone else, too. outside of the aforementioned WV, anyway.)
