    Bankruptcy.

    Remember, something like 80% of the population can't afford a $500 emergency. And Jay Inslee just told a large group of those people to stay home indefinitely.

    I'm not defending Inslee here. Other than the point @PurpleThrobber has made about perhaps showing a little more confidence and giving timelines that he's free to later revise, with which I agree wholeheartedly and for the reasons he gives, I'm not sure what I'd do differently given where he resides and governs.

    With that all said, I honestly don't know a single person who couldn't survive a $500 emergency w/o it bankrupting them. If you were being sarcastic, then fine.

    Still, your point stands. Staying home indefinitely while not getting paid for too long a period of time will fuck some people up. It'll be far north of $500. But for those who will be busted after a week or two, I'm sorry. I have more weighty concerns on my mind.

    I'm chilling a little bit today from initial pissed off beyond belief. He actually humanized things a little today instead of being King Fuckwad. The art gallery comment was pretty bougie but he did better.

    He's still a humongous fuckwad. Don't twist. But maybe he reads HH and changed his messaging.

    Based on what I can gather, we? who post here are relatively affluent. Time to put our money where our mouths are and do what we can, where we can. Takeout a couple times per week has to become part of the routine (similar to whatever you would normally do in terms of dining out). Haven't quite figure out how to help the bars but I'll work on it. Don't give your money to fucking charities. They are just going to waste it. Give it to the businesses so they can survive.

    Banks need to put their earnings reports on the backburner and allow for mortgage vacations. They can borrow at zero from the Fed - this won't hurt them a bit. Landlords need to not be dicks and give their tenants a break.

    Waiting around for the government to solve this is going to increase the pain. Stuff needs to be grassroots on how to help our neighbors. And now.

    I feel like this is guvmints one chance on the pandemic thing. If they cried WOOF over some bullshit that doesn’t cause much harm, there is gonna be hell to pay. I’m not doing 6 weeks of no school every decade or more as the new normal.
    So again, it’s a no win. If we head it off you’ll say it wasn’t a big deal to begin with.

    I would love Inslee to be the unthanked hero, who acted boldly on his instincts, then was DAO’ed by a healthy electorate.

    What basis is Inslee using for his power grab?

    Obvious, Democrat.

    What basis is Inslee using for his power grab?

    This is an easy way for the Dems to implement a state income tax. The budget they just passed was based on seriously different numbers and economic conditions than what we have today. The hole they'll need to fill will likely be in the billions. The Dems are going to exploit the shit out of this virus.

    Interestingly, an income tax is the one issue that could give some moderate district seats back to the R's.

    My intent was not to 'blame' Inslee. Statement of fact.

    Apparently, I stand corrected. However, the stock market crashing certainly increases the probability the statistic could soon be true. Sooner than later.

    This is a .5% CFR virus. Not horribly deadly, but the need is to minimize asymptomatic transmission at this point so that local hospitals aren't inundated

    Inundate the hospitals, and that .5% CFR rate increases because people can't get the care that they need. Neither can the generic cancer patients or the heart attack patients or the appendectomy patients that hospitals usually tend to
