    Perhaps but it wasn't just a con. He was pissed about having to wear a mask. His basic attitude was HOW DARE THEY!!! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!!!!

    Wearing a mask and not wearing a mask has become a partisan issue. The stupidity is staggering... You can pretty much go to the local stores in my area and tell who is Democrat and who is a Republican by who is wearing a face mask.

    Yesterday I took mine off when dealing with a clerk who won't wear one. Interestingly, he stepped back when I did LOL! Freaking jerk. They are selfish, spoiled little children who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.

    narcissists do not care about others, masks protect others, society seems to have more narcissists today then in the past, maybe it's this processed food diet people like Trump eats - look at pence too, even around patients he won't wear one, what the heck

    What these people do not grasp is that the virus could care less about your politics. If you think its nothing to worry about, then you take your chances. What happens to you then is your fault alone. So do you feel lucky? Want to risk dying on a respirator all alone because you don't like liberals? Go for it, Darwin is a cruel master.

    Yes but they label all scientific information as liberal propaganda. They will believe Limbaugh or Hannity or trump over actual scientists; no matter how freaking stupid the claim. Consider the bleach drinkers, for example...

    Who? NJ? I don't recall Trump being a coward and saying close it down indefinitely.

    That is horrid leadership in NJ, no public plan to reopen at all. Leaders have plan, they may change but they have plans. "We don't know when.." is not a plan.

    Trump left reopening up to the states, where it belongs. That is called leadership, allow other to make the call for themselves where it makes sense.

    God Bless Texas, we are open some and there are plans know by all when and what we will open next :)

    Yeah I'll take my 0.1% chance to die from this so we can advert a depression as a country. And my family has not missed a dime of pay, but I know other have. I'm willing to "risk" it to help them.

    You are not?

    The problem is that they're not just taking their own chances. They're giving the finger to their neighbours, community, state, and nation. They're saying - out loud - "I don't care if I spread it".

    Modoc County has 2 people per square mile. upload_2020-5-4_1-7-48.jpeg

    There was defiance of the Beach order, lots of homes in these beach communities don't have a/c and when its hot you have to go to the beach. They properly distanced, and these are communities with superb relations between citizens and peace officers. Newsom is from the Bay Area that has a totally different dynamic.

    Newsom baffled a state that encourages illegal immigration isn’t obeying his ‘stay at home’ order.

    California Governor Gavin Newsom is vexed that no one in his state is obeying his “stay at home” order after years of him encouraging illegal immigration.

    Newsom issued a “shelter in place” order directing the state’s nearly 40 million residents to stay home beginning March 20 to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Instead, residents have issued a “kiss my ass” order for Newsom.

    “Yeah, I understand that he wants everyone to stay at home so they don’t spread the corona, but he should know that I want him to kiss my ass,” Huntington Beach resident Jimmy DeLong said between hits from the bong.

    Analysts were shocked that a state that encourages foreigners to break the law should have so many residents break the law.

    “We let homeless people take a dump on the street in front of nice restaurants. We let people spread AIDS with impunity. We encourage immigrants to come here illegally. You’d think people would listen to my orders!” Newsom said in a press conference.

    Herd immunity is simply another name for the Survival of the Fittest'. The best way to do that is remove all restrictions. Your young and vulnerable children may die. You adults who are vulnerable because of other medical problems will die, even though they live useful and productive lives with medical help.. And, of course, many of your elderly will die - as in UK care homes. Don't they matter?

    All measures should be taken to prevent the spread of this. The economies of the whole world are going to be affected - not just the US economy. While you whine and moan, the virus is running riot in poor countries. Millions are suffering and dying. They have no hope. Things are tough for you in the US? We've got our own problems in the UK. You're not the only ones.

    Removing goalposts should only be done when the time is right.

    The political Left is always shocked when there are perfectly predictable and utterly logical consequences occurring as a result of their pie-in-the-sky-orientated actions. Mind you, they never seem to learn anything meaningful from it, but they are always . . . shocked.

    All countries are going through a depression. The US is not a special nation. And if your 0.1 % turns up, how are your family going to feel and survive. And if you affect them and one of them dies ?. How are you going to feel?

    My family would be sad but financially taken care of as I carry a lot of insurance.

    I’m not so nervous that I fail to act because of a .1% chance of anything. It would be foolish to be.

    Damage has been done to the economy, letting more occurs is not a viable plan to get us back on track.

    I have worked 30+ days in a row now, Not at home but out in the real world. I’m not showing off on social media. I’m promoting we let people live their lives and have a chance to work to support themselves. If you or anyone else wants to shelter in place do so, but do not expect me to do the same because you think I should. Those days are ending...

    Not really, it’s more about the ones who want to keep it shut down going forward. Those people are fools.

    Trump saved all those lives with his shutdown till May, upwards of 1.9 million saved if you believe some of the folks on here.

    Go Trump!

    So you think your family would rather have money than you? And if you catch the virus you are prepared to risk the lives of the Medics who might have to nurse you. Every economy is facing problems - not just yours. Should we not allow the Arabs to live their lives as they wish. Apparently your president doesn't think so. Living one's life has responsibilities to others.

    Words of wisdom from John Donne

    'No Man is an Island'
    No man is an island entire of itself; every man
    is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
    if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
    is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
    well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
    own were; any man's death diminishes me,
    because I am involved in mankind.
    And therefore never send to know for whom
    the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    Your answer to the economic issues is what? It can’t be to acknowledge we have issues as you have done twice now. That’s not a response, that a statement. Opening up the economy is a response. Letting people who choose to work do so is a response. The wait and see what happens plan you seem to endorse for the economy is a pretty damn bad plan..

    I’m interested in what my state and nation does with reopening the economy. What other counties do is up to them.

    And yes medical staff are at risk, just like multiple professions are at all times. By your logical we should not send police officers into situations they could be injured or die in. Or firefighters or military personnel etc..

    It does not take a village...save then looney ideology for someone else...

    But you're deliberately putting them at risk. What happens to the criminal who is caught putting a police officer at risk?

    Anyway, you carry on. You've enough problems with Donald the Quack at the helm. I wonder what would happen if he got the bug?

    If you asking me what should happen to someone who intentionally puts a LEO at risk it involves pepper spray on the low end and a .45 ACP on the high end.

    But since I’m not intentionally trying to catch a virus the analogy you posted makes no sense.

    I don’t have any issues I blame Trump for. I did not vote for him, I think he a bit of a asshat then and now. But he has not caused me any issues, in fact I think he has done a pretty damn good job as POTUS.

    I shudder to think if HRC was POTUS how she would have screwed this C19 up. Crazy over reacting Dems would have declared martial law I think..

    Shop elsewhere. Simple solution.

    The entitlement of the left on display, thinking society revolves around their wants, desire and ideologies. It does not, nor will it.

    And masks/face coverings? Any research at all will reveal they are next to useless, no one is debating that. Feel good measure 101. Once, not long ago the CDC recommenced against wearing them. And now the lefties think anyone not wearing one is a viral time bomb waiting to go off because the CDC says so...

    I have some Oceanfront Property in Arizona...

    I'm taking that as part of the joke. Because that's pretty funny!

    What's the temperature in Spring in these coastal parts of America? 90 degrees or something? LOLs.

    I am? How would I be intentionally doing that?

    And yes it is partially about “me”. FFS what do you not understand about personal responsibility and how that relates to the rights of others? Why do you think your right to feel snuggly safe outweighs my right to earn a living?

    Your sense of self entitlement is off the scale. It’s selfish and obscene.

    Thankfully the country is slowly awakening and opening up, your ideology lost..
