    We know the end game if we continue to force businesses to stay closed and people to stay home. People have to start going back to work right now.

    Idiots like the OR governor are fine destroying businesses. July 5th was a death knell for business owners. Rats will be borrowing money left and right and have no problem with it.

    I've been wrong before, but there is no way the rules stay as is through 4th of July holiday. People will riot. Probably far sooner than that.

    Beautiful Oregon summer weather is going to bring this to a head.


    But they will be shamed by the CoronaBros and Karen's and be accused of killing people
    Even they will want to get outside eventually. The public confidence is going to erode swiftly as the sunnier days approach.

    I thought California supported the entire nation and if they decided to LEAVE we'd be in a world of hurt.

    Then they should just LEAVE!

    Of course, the *REAL* USA will never relinquish their strategic military bases throughout Cali much like they never gave back Guantanamo Bay when Cuba went into 60 years of 3rd world poverty.

    When Cali leaves we? remove the massive amount of military bases and let them get their own damn Navy to protect their sea lanes as they sell to China.

    Perfect time for Trump to say Open your State or you get no money.

    California had about $1.9 billion in its unemployment trust fund in mid-April, down from $3.1 billion at the end of February, the month before the coronavirus upended the U.S. economy. The state’s labor department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.


    I'm not sure which is more ridiculous. Oregon a state of 4.2 million people having $5.5 Billion in their fund before this hit.

    Or California, a state of over 40 million, having $2.5 Billion less.

    Clear case of non abundance.

    Robbing Peter to pay Paul for shit like homeless/illegal alien/transgender/green programs comes at a price eventually.

    State that pays the most in federal taxes is the first to ask for some of that money back. More at 11

    So you didn't read.

    [By that measure, California was prepared to make unemployment payments for just over two months in the event of a recession.]

    During a year with a "budget surplus".
