    We got shut down by corporate. Pussies

    Sounds like the free market spoke.
    The government isn't the free market

    Dumbass
    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.

    That's actually true. EY has been working from remote and shut down travel for weeks.
    On the plus side, apparently Anderson has come back from the dead.


    Good, they owe me money.

    Can't be too careful. You never know. In an abundance of caution. It's for the good of the country.

    Funny little libertarian finds any governmental response to circumstances like Nazis and stuff. 'Cuz coercion!
    Make sure and keep an eye on your neighbor....for the good of the country.

    The other day police asked us to help find a senior citizen with dementia that was driving unattended.

    Fucking Nazis.

    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?

    Exactly.

    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.
    None of which has anything to do with the current situation

    100% government and media driven panic

    Own it or stop apologizing for it

    You bedwetters wanted this. You got it
    Their WWIII dream failed. So they are on this like dogs on a bone

    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.

    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.

    The government runs your company? Weird.

    Why would you think that?

    Hondo level dude. Not good
    I don’t, but you’re blaming the government for the actions of a private corporate board.

    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.
    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.

    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.
