    When Mollie is right, she's right!

    Americans put a man on the freaking moon, landed a robot on a postage size stamp of land on Mars, harnessed the power of the atom, defeated Germany in a world war — twice, invented the automobile, and defeated gravity and invented human flight. Yet right now many of us are sitting alone in our homes behind cloth masks with dubious protective qualities thinking about banning children from attending school even though they are at extremely low risk of infection or as vectors of transmission.

    We need a steely resolve, not simpering fear. Nothing is going to stop us. Not polio, not Nazis, not gravity! Nothing. We’re America. We can do this.

    Yeah but we cant beat systemic racism

    Am I doing this right?

    Very dishonest.

    Evidence that Americans are hysterical is Harvard going online? Compelling!

    We had a vaccine for the Asian flu by the time it reached the US.

    Woodrow Wilson didn't mention the "Spanish Flu"--which may have originated in Kansas barracks--because of the war effort.

    We have different vaccines every year based on the best guess of which strain it will be

    We don't fuck over 40 million people

    This is going to get ugly. Just today I'm hearing news from colleagues, friends and foes alike of layoffs, position eliminations, etc.

    People actually thought we were out of the woods. Then United Airlines showed up with their 100,000 furloughs, or whatever, and everyone (except creepy) is like, "Oh yeah, I guess we're still dealing with economis."

    How many people do you think have used the last 4 months wisely to add to their preparedness? Few. Americans are a paycheck to paycheck people.
    We put the kids' portion of the stimulus in their bank accounts cause we figure they're the ones who are going to have to pay for all this shit, they might as well have something to show for it.

    People thought we were crazy.

    Planning is not the American forte.

    I'm hearing that if you don't pay your rent or mortgage you'll still owe it or be evicted once the moratorium is lifted. Science

    Property taxes still due too.

    Super unemployment benefits ends at the end of July.

    Yep its going to get ugly

    Oh and food costs money too. Just what I'm hearing

    I made it clear to my kids they were using their tax return $ (we filed independent for them first time that got that $1,000 tuition expense thing) and the one who got the stimulus (no idea why the older one didn't get one) that they're using it for college expenses.

    THAT is not getting enough press. No holiday, no adjustment or reduction eh? The fuck you need all that $$ for __________ county? Sheriffs and schools. Sure.gif. Fuck the sheriff and fuck the teachers. My father-in-law finally let go of his arsenal of weaponry and I am fucking packing now. You name it, I got it. Don't need the sheriff; come at me now bro.

    School? I pay for my kids' school. You all pay for your own brats to be edgeumacated. I'm done.

    Fucking at least reduce the property tax to reflect the actual county budget. Why the fuck doesn't Eyeman do something useful and dig into that one? Fucking car tabs. That's a detail Eyeman. Property tax. Fix it.
