    Dr. Fauci Recommends Encasing Your Entire Body In Bubble Wrap To Protect Against Coronavirus | The Babylon Bee

    Especially after seeing this article:

    Fauci says eye protection can help prevent spread of coronavirus | TheHill

    What do you think? A few more weeks before eye goggle mandates? Then we’ll have people on here a few weeks after that wanting to know why wearing TWO simple pieces of facial protection is such a big deal. God forbid the fecal/oral thing gains traction and the marketing campaigns to promote such measures:

    “Don’t be an asshole. Saran Wrap your asshole.”

The voting population, effortlessly brought to a frenzied rage by rhetoric about men wearing dresses, stands idly by as its REAL cultural values/social mores (in this case, the idea that caring for the elderly is a good in and of itself) are trampled by theocrats imposing their religious values on the population writ large.

    What is to be done? Does anybody have an idea about where we can start? I'm so desperate, I'm open to anything...
    One has to say, this is leftist trolling developed to a fine edge. It is a perfect example of an Alice through the looking glass reverse projection in it's assertion of "right-wing" and "theocrats" having wreaked this havoc on the populace. Would anyone of sound mind characterize Cuomo or the others, as either right wing OR theocrats?

    It amazes me that so many people cannot see that corporatism and unionism are two heads of the same monster: corrupt business in bed with corrupt government. And they tend to be unable to be able to see that the corrupt government is the bigger problem. No matter how corrupt a business owner may be, it cannot force a just government to do it's bidding whereas the opposite is not the case.

    What we are seeing now, which has always been the case to some degree or another, but which new technology has facilitated in a way previously impossible, is that the corruptness of the general population now has the power to operate as the multinational corporation has for years to get their will enforced by power. Everyone is a fucking lobbyist now. The average schmo realized that he can leverage these devils to legally cheat his neighbor. So the citizen bribes the politician with votes and the politicians bribe the voters with special favors.

    The problem with the US Government is that it reflects the population fairly well.

    The only proof you need is it's existence.

    While there are certainly systematic changes that need to be made, the crisis is moral. We need better people. There's a severe shortage. The current happenings are just revealing that.

    He is responsible for the reduction in taxes and regulations which have resulted in the best economy and the lowest levels of unemployment in many many decades. Since you only vaguely follow US politics, you may not understand how important these things are.

    I don’t think a lot of people are aware or understand how many regulations he eliminated. That was the best work he has done, along with his tax cuts resulted in a lot of optimism in the market which is very important. Unfortunately all of the optimism was taken away because of the covid bullshit. But honestly, the spending during his presidency has been absolutely out of control and he doesn’t seem to care.

    I completely agree with this. The same problem affects the entire world, not just the US. Though the US does seem to have some of the most exquisitely corrupt bastards running the show.

    True. He didn't ask me what I disapproved of, and there are several things like that.

    Corruption follows money, and we used to be a wealthy country.

    Can someone explain to me the difference between these apparent long term effects of covid19 versus what we’ve known about the flu for years?

    Am I retarded or is it just this glaringly obvious?

    I think anyone who cared about spending has given up, including Trump. We are all just wondering when it will crash. Republicans and Democrats alike will gleefully spend (pay off their buddies) until there are no more zeros left in the computer and the credit card is revoked. Hell, they'd probably figure out how to keep on spending on pet projects even after that.

    It's been glaringly obvious to everybody who was willing to ask the question. But society is being remodeled into obedient conformists who dare not ask the question. The Mask is their symbol.
