I would assume yes.

oof

aight
time to find a nice rock

And this is why I stopped watching live pd for the time being

[Thermodolia]

The populists also advocate for social spending. Though I’m pretty sure that Mussolini 2.0 will come to power in Italy once this is over.

Next who is gonna be Hitler and Stalin

We already have Putin.

Hitler 2 will be interesting, though.

Aww I wanted to be Stalin

All jokes aside I really wouldn’t consider Putin to be Staliny

One more page everybody!

When Harding got elected in 1920 In a landslide one of his campaign slogans was a return to normalcy

Which is what Biden is doing.

It might just work too

[Cisairse]

True, but aren't the people who'll blame it on migrants already in government? Seems to me that they'll be they'll be taking a lot of blame themselves.

Harding wasn't an autocrat or a demagogue

This is Italy not the US. They are going to elect Mussolini 2.0 to power

The final page. Then we reached the 500 and the thread will collapse.

I would assume yes.

Every time people kill each other the news pretends the last thing that happens was the one that really mattered. Look at any case of "murder over video game/ice cream/price of bagels"

To be fair, the price of bagels is outrageous.

I would say the normalcy sucked and is partially the reason we're at this point right now.

[Cisairse]

The U.S. Dept. of Commerce estimates it at about $9 million

Of course the United States Department of Commerce would run a study like that and give an actual monetary number.

They knew they could do it, but they never asked if they should do it.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

True but after the pandemic people wanted a leader who promised them business as usual and they took it

I've finally lived to see a thread I follow come to a glorious end. The 500th page!

[Cisairse]

Aww I wanted to be Stalin

All jokes aside I really wouldn’t consider Putin to be Staliny

He's an autocrat who never plans on stepping down and has a knack for assasinating political enemies

The only difference is Putin is not an ideologue.

[Diopolis]

would it help if the government provided free sweets and happy gas to all during this pandemic?

...this and prison abolition makes two things I agree with you on.

I mean, we technically agree on prison abolition, but want very different regimes to replace it. That might be the case here.
In any event, I'm not so sure about the government providing free sweets and happy gas specifically- and have my doubts about the flatten the curve strategy in general- but maybe some nice steaks and booze if you're going to confine us?

People grew complacent and ignorant. they didn wanted to know or to care about dangers such as corona and the consequences of dismantling all own critical infrastructure.

I don't think it's too much of a concern. Apparently both of the people who died had existing health problems.

Ah remember when we all thought this was just going to be a small thing? Simple time.

You'd really rather have this than Barack Obama?

[Cisairse]

World War I was a pandemic?

Spanish Flu

Spanish Flu

Warren G. Harding was referring to the Spanish Flu when he said normalcy?

Barack Obama was one of the biggest let downs of all time. He wasnt all that different from Bush or Clinton, and it's the globalism that all of them supported that partially made this situation worse. I cant find alot of items I used to purchase because trade with china has taken a major hit since the outbreak began. I'm realizing alot more recently just how much we rely on other countries for things as important as our medication. That's not right.

Actually I’d say that Xi is Stalin.

Probably both the war and pandemic
