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.

    The governors of Ohio and Massachusetts, where the # of confirmed cases are a fraction of Washington's, have both called for lockdowns as well. They're Republicans. I know you didn't say it was partisan but the mob here has been bitching about Inslee and ignoring the fact this is going to happen all over the country.

    What basis is Inslee using for his power grab?


    Isn't Being Jay Inslee enough?

    If you read the tone and communication of the way Inslee mandated closures vs. how the Ohio governor did, that should tell you everything you need to know about Jay Inslee's ego.

    He gives no fucks as to how his edicts are perceived by the populace.

    The Ohio Governor was contrite and apologetic and asked for cooperation.

    Big difference. One acts like a dick, the other acts like a leader.

    Yet Trump supporters love cheering him on for being a dick, giving zero fucks, and not acting like a traditional political leader. Got it.

    So if I'm a bar owner and I say, fuck it, I'm opening for St. Paddy's Day, what is the Gov going to do. Fine me. Arrest me. Shoot me. I'd kind of like to know.

    They'd have to drag me off in chains if I was a bar or restaurant owner.

    Fuckoff you cum bucket slurpblob.

    This is much more about an experiment in Social engineering than it is about protecting people. Once the WHO put the tag of Pandemic on it, the hounds were ready and waiting to lock everything down. Now they are seeing just how much they can get away with before people start fighting back.

    As the boreds resident conspiracy theorist, I'm not ready to go that far.

    Incredibly overblown? Sure.

    Premeditated social engineering experiment? Uuuuhhhhhh ... GO CUOG!

    I asked that question a couple days ago - what's the enforcement? What's the consequence for violating? Nobody can seem to answer that.

    I'm guessing it's voluntary, just without anyone specifically saying that.
