Funny little libertarian finds any governmental response to circumstances like Nazis and stuff. 'Cuz coercion!MikeDamone said:The Nazis asked neighbors to turn in the Jews.
Can't be too careful. You never know. In an abundance of caution. It's for the good of the country.

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.

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

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:

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 think that by mid April to May restaurants and pubs will reopen their doors and tell everyone to eat their ass. Local government won't stop them.ThomasFremont said:
I don’t, but you’re blaming the government for the actions of a private corporate board.RaceBannon said:

Hondo level dude. Not good
Maybe you should direct your anger at the inaction of the government. This is going to drag on longer than necessary thanks to shit leadership and the idiots among us.
Other businesses will follow.
Early to mid May it will be back to normal with strong encouragement for the elderly and weak-immuned to stay home. People walking around wearing masks.
The freakout after just a week of staying home is already pointing to this. -
Hopefully, that’s the case. But Amazon and MSFT need to send there people back to office.haie said:

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.

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:

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.

Make sure and call the police if you see your neighbor having people over or if you see any New Yorkers. -
I really don't know. Who? Moreover, who gets to decide whether it's panic or legitimate concern?MikeDamone said:

Somebody? Nobody? Sometimes? Never?
I don't know. Does anyone really know where to draw the line? Were we threatened in WWII? Why did we intervene? On what basis did we compel (which is exactly what it was) 100s of thousands of US citizens to grab a gun and go oversees and die? Was a victorious Nazi Germany every really going to threaten US soil?
I'm not an epidemiologist nor a med. I haven't the qualifications to second-guess protocol in these situations. I also need some evidence to believe that the experts are conspiring with the enemy within for some ulterior motive. -
The experts aren’t conspiring, but the experts don’t see the whole picture and don’t think about unintended consequences. They have a very narrow focus.creepycoug said:

The media sees it as an opportunity. They have a vested interest in fueling the fire. Even yelling fire in a crowded theater. Whether it be ratings, relevance, or trump bashing spin, they benefit from inciting the panic.
That’s how we get to the position that stopping all economic activity is worth it if saves 1 life. After all, what If that life was a loved one of yours....
No one is conspiring, but many are seizing an opportunity to push an agenda. -
