The bars will have to close this week. The mayors and governors know they have blood on their hands.

It is so nuts to me that Trump brags about the "Greatest Economy Evah!", but then we have to worry about kids who won't get meals if schools close. That's fucked up.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:29 pm The county I reside in has declared a state of emergency, will close schools Friday, which will last into April. The reason for the delay is to prep for the closings, including to help kids who only eat at school, allow parents an opportunity to set up child care, and the shift to online learning.

We’re living in a week where even the NCAA stepped up and all these sad arrogant fucks are still out partying.

I'm deployed right now and I can't even flush toilet paper or baby wipes. I have to walk long distances to go to the bathroom tents. I'm in a much dumber asswiping scenario right now. (And that's not including redeployers! Ammiright?) But there's no hysteria.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Obviously Trump sucks shit but he’s hardly alone in this respect. Way too many people across the spectrum of politics and the political media make the mistake of treating the stock market as synonymous with “the economy.” There is a huge swath of American society that lives paycheck to paycheck, or even meal to meal, who can’t even dream of having a 401(k). This crisis is going to expose just how desperate the circumstances are for tens of millions of Americans.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:46 pmIt is so nuts to me that Trump brags about the "Greatest Economy Evah!", but then we have to worry about kids who won't get meals if schools close.

If you would still go to work during a pandemic even after your office building ran out of toilet paper then you are in like the 99.99th percentile of diligent employees.A_B wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:39 pmI do t have a shower at say, work.degenerasian wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:08 pmJust use the shower head to clean your ass.A_B wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 9:40 amI don’t want to take 3 showers a day.Johnnie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 9:35 am Is it really that hard to just jump in the shower after you shit?

This is a good article:

Policy changes in reaction to the coronavirus reveal how absurd so many of our rules are to begin with.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
The point is they shouldn't be rules in the first place. Liquids on a plane? Capped broadband internet? The police helping evict tenants? Suddenly it all goes away when a real threat presents itself.
Also, this isn't good:

If broadband is uncapped, you're just going to get slow shitty service. The tower will get congested.
I expect a counter article.

Not for nothing, but big broadband companies sue municipalities trying to have their own high speed fiber lines that offer better speeds because of course they do.degenerasian wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 7:30 am If broadband is uncapped, you're just going to get slow shitty service.

So if the towers get congested, then build more towers, billion dollar a year industry making an eventual public utility shittier than it needs to be.

The arguments in the article, if they were to be the norm, would just end up in government subsidies to cover forfeited rent for example.
The government already gets conned into everything. Making things shittier to get someone to pay for improvements is always a bargaining ploy. This would be an easy case.

Much like the gps systems are, internet should be free and a basic civic right, imo.

Someone unloaded a clip this morning at like 5 am. I never even heard a gunshot living in downtown Portland for a decade.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
That said it came from the direction of where a lot of college kids live, and there were a lot of parties last night. Not putting too much stock in it.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I just went to my local grocery store for a few things ... it was closed.
Apparently they've gone to reduced hours, so will open at 10 today. And if that's to allow more employees to stay home, I guess that's a good thing. But it was pretty eerie to walk up to locked doors in broad daylight.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Maybe staying deployed longer isn't a bad thing.
(If you're wondering, there's no immediate answer to what next for me, but I'm not going to be mad if my original date to redeploy gets pushed back.)

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Restaurant we went to last night has a normal maximum occupancy of 309. They were allowed 70 customers inside and 25 on their patio. Watching people storm out after being told they could not be given an estimate for wait time because the restaurant can't seat anyone until someone else leaves was telling.
A couple assholes literally came in and sat directly between the two of us and another two people at the bar while there were about six empty seats on the other side of us. We slid down two seats after a couple minutes.
Tonight should be the last night eating out (catering after that). Cannot wait to go home Wednesday. Hoping I can leave that morning instead of at the end of the day.

We have ordered carry out twice from independent places. Th are the route I think will help the most.

Same we had some pizza delivered from a local place last night even though we have plenty of food thinking even that option may not be viable soon enough.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Yea, I guess I'm lucky because I literally can't be tempted to go out and do things, but people just should not be interacting with others right now, for real.

Yep. I've gone from resenting being lumped in with dudes with goatees and plaid shirts tied around their waists in beer commercials, to surprisingly happy with my generational identity.

Kentucky suggested they close except for carry out and delivery
ETA: we ordered out one more time. Did a full inventory and we could totally last 2 weeks plus with what we had and what I got earlier this week.
