It's getting to be like Nazi Germany around here

The counselor is all in on 100k dead Americans and aliens. I'm thinking way under the 80k flu deaths in the 2017-2018 file season.

That's actually true. EY has been working from remote and shut down travel for weeks.
Whinney never would have went for that shit. -

Bert Cooper used to have problems with that whippersnapper Roger all the time, too. -

Because asking for help to find a lost person is the same as spying on your neighbors and reporting on them to the government. JFC. Have any other false equivalence to offer?ThomasFremont said:The other day police asked us to help find a senior citizen with dementia that was driving unattended.

The social media pitchforks and torches crowd is powerful. Once the media whips them in a frenzy it’s a tidal wave. Google Tesla for reference.YellowSnow said:
Travel, hospitality, etc are YUGE segments of our economy, especially in a city like ours. Basically, every large corporate or association conference in every major market in the US was canceled weeks before any government edicts came into affect. Fortune 500 America shit their pants before Newsome, Inslee, etc told them too.MikeDamone said:

That's odd. Most of the Big 5 companies of Seattle were already shutting down their offices and cancelling conferences well before the government told them to do so.RaceBannon said:

Look, I hate guvmint just like the rest of you guysm. So fuck off.
But let’s not act like private enterprise hasn’t panicked the shit out of the economy many times w/o government assistance. Look at the 1800s - there was a panic every ten years.
100% government and media driven panic
Own it or stop apologizing for it
You bedwetters wanted this. You got it
They would have saved themselves some money too by waiting for said edicts. It’s not covered by force majeure to cancel on Vegas just by being scared. The government has to make it illegal or impossible for you to perform. -
I'm saving my powder for when the government ups my stipend. Until then you're all safe.

Gubmint can't tell me fuckall to do on the res. I'll infect as many as I want Big Brother and you can suck it! It's the small victories that make life less miserable.

I guess what we're talking about is how far the police powers can be extended in times of mass public crisis.
There has always been, and will always be, tension between individual liberty and the common good. I understand the Tug Tribe views the latter with great skepticism, but it's not like we've ever had it 100% 'do what you want, when you want.'
What do you do about the mob? When can the police make them disperse? Never? What about the draft? In what circumstances? Not as likely an issue now given that the military is huge and is much less reliant on boots on the ground than it was, say, in WWII, where you just needed a critical mass of bodies that wouldn't have achieved w/o the draft.
Doesn't it usually, really, just come down to whether we agree with the proposed action in some set of exigent circumstances?
I've always been sympathetic to the Libertarian point of view, but I also know that a pure expression of it is impractical, extremely unlikely, and probably not a great idea on the margin.
