Coronavirus Thread IV: Legends, Laments and Lockdowns

[Kannap]

The solution to out of work people not being able to pay for food isn't to reopen every business and kill the old. The solution is we need a better social safety net.

Yeah, the majority of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck or just being two paychecks away from being homeless isn't something new because of coronavirus, its been the case for a while. Coronavirus just managed to be able to attack us in a way that revealed all of our weaknesses.

Now, what are we going to do about those weaknesses? Probably nothing

[Kannap]

So Vegas is back open again?

June 4th sounds like the date

I'm sure that's what your nation needs, mass rampant fleecing of people. Yes SL I'm a killjoy

Well this virus has done little to sell the 'American dream' to the rest of the world I should think, well I hope.

A distinction without difference most of the time, non?

We're at our lowest point right now. We literally look like retards to the rest of mankind with how badly we handled this.

The whole idea of places like Vegas or Macau leave me cold. Sorry sights of humanity lurking just under the surface.

Kill joy > kill people

Not even just under the surface. You can see people begging on the streets of Vegas, as well as people in clear distress and showing signs of addiction when gambling.

[Knask]

Good news from the nordic countries (except Sweden):

Finland, Denmark and Norway have all had two days (or more) without any Covid-19 related fatalities.

Sweden continues to do its own thing, closing in on a total of 3000 dead.

[Kyapo]

Kill joy > kill people

Can't I have both?

Yep, you collectively do. But Brazil is in the running, game ain't over yet...

A social safety net is never the right option. That's simply taking innocent peoples money to pay for people who have done nothing to earn it.

Vegas is what America would be if Trump was a total dictator, and he would build a great wall so now yous can't leave.

Woah man! Don't try to hurt Vegas' feeling too much. What did they ever do to you?

We already do that. I'm just suggested we use that money to better society and help people instead of just gifting it to Jeff Bezos and Walmart and Wall Street.

[Gormwood]

So Vegas is back open again?

The perfect expression of the governing party taking a gamble.

Local 48: Stay inside, close your curtains and don't look outdoors or go out no matter what you here.

Americans: YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I DESERVE FREEDOM.

Caring about whether people "earned" money is silly.

Thanks to the budget holes this thing is punching, 10 thousand 100k a year jobs courtesy of mr Bezos would do the city a lot of good right now.
