Remember this classical instance of your fearmongering?
I find this instance to be just as ridiculous.

Looking at the 58 today through my binos, I see very few cars, but semi traffic both in and out of the LA basin is robust. We are resupplying at a massive rate. This is good news.

How helpful was it to foment such hysteria in Vietnam? How did it serve the wounded troops in your charge? Did your superiors put up with that?
I made it home from Vietnam......many didn't. prepare or not at your own peril. Just like thumps virus mouthpiece said "If it looks like your overacting, your probably not doing enough"..best of luck to all.

I got 3 fantastic texts today.

Dollar Store delivery of TP today at 1:30, didn't need any and didn't go over.

PetSmart truck full of dog food coming in at 1:30, didn't need any and didn't go over.

A buddy of mine who delivers food to restaurants and bars says he has no customers at the moment with cases of frozen steaks and other delicacies on a refrigeration truck.

Meeting him shortly with a pile of cash.

I'll get by with a little help from my friends.

Where did I hear that before?

We can now add Feinstein and Inhofe to the list of stock sellers. This shit is precisely why I ignore politics and eschew politicians.
It will be interesting to see if they bought back after everything crashed. Those Senators are pieces of dog feces. They should be tarred, feathered, and paraded down the street. Then a stint in club fed. A requirement of holding public office should be that they have to divest themselves of any financial holdings where they could have inside information. They should all have to put their investments into a blind trust until they leave office.

I don't ignore it completely just to catch those profiteers, millionaire version of stocking 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer and n95 masks.

They're all rotten bastards and need to be exposed.

ROME (AP) — Italy has recorded its highest day-to-day-rise in the number of deaths of people infected with the new coronavirus.
Civil Protection Chief Angelo Borrelli said Friday the country recorded 627 more deaths in the 24 hours since Italy surpassed China on Thursday as the nation with the most COVID-19-related deaths. The total now stands at 4,032.

The spread is exponential which many don't understand. They think "Oh well just 50 people have it out of millions". They don't realize how fast the number rises when it doubles everyday. It's like some don't know basic math.

don't say that too loud....many people aren't ready to hear this. Ignorance is bliss. Dear leader spent today's press briefing berating the press for asking 'Nasty questions"...

I figure wiser heads than I can do that. It just makes me ill and when I look at the fear mongering that ignites the panic in the populace I do not understand it. Why would any compassionate and responsible person delight in fomenting hysteria. Hysteria is contagious.

I remember my parent's discussing the depression and although there was some of this overall they shared and helped each other. Why aren't we? Instead we are watching our leaders selling their stocks to be millionaire's. Both my son and myself stayed in the market and trust me it hurts but in the end I refuse to sell at the highest point of a natural disaster and then buy from the starving and homeless in the community I live in, which is the world community.

God bless us all, stay strong and stay calm.

That's one of the people that doesn't seem to understand basic math or if they do they won't admit it. You have to wonder if the shortage of testing in America is on purpose so the real numbers are not known by the public. This administration is going out of it's way to keep details from the public. That's a fact and it's coming from the top. They even want states to not report the actual spike in unemployment numbers. This is about more than one mans desire to appear on top of things in an election year. These guys are playing with people's lives just to keep the numbers padded and make themselves look good. It's disgusting.

I'll yell from the mountain top and I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm right and anyone that disagrees is full of it.

Here's an interesting article if you are interested in the testing snafu. A lot of complacency and needless bureaucracy contributed to this debacle.

As for yelling truth I 100% support you in that. I think we need absolute transparency in exactly what the truth is, no matter how bad it is; especially with how bad it is. However posting and tweeting things like, "The states borders are closed when in fact it is easy to verify this is not true" is promoting a hysteria we simply don't need.

Prepping is fine, using lies and misinformation when the reality is bad enough to cause a run on scarce resources is what I think is irresponsible.

On the bright side I had good germination rates from the first of the 2020 Covid-19 Victory Garden seeds......ugh excuse me the 2020 Chinese flu Victory garden...I will plant all of these and many more. What I don't need will be shared with the local community...I know, i know that's kind of socialist, but these are the times we live in. Dig in and plant a garden...

Too early to start here. I'll check for early harvest seeds at the Tractor Supply when I get my dog's booster shot. Might eye some non ordinance house birds as well. Still grinning.
