Ah. This week’s threat to loss of liberty and justice is the lockdown? Have we moved past the Chinese?

And when the number infected reaches 150 million or 200 million? Even with half a percent mortality that’s going to be close to a million.

Depends on what the candidate brings to the table. I’ve had candidates come back and ask for more and if they were worth it I would go to bat for it. I tried to always start out with what they were worth but some had previous positions that paid more than the market rate and didn’t want to come down from that. Overall, it doesn’t hurt to ask for a little more. If the employer gets offended then it’s probably not a place you want to work anyway.

Maybe. But with a 600-1000% higher infection rate than the flu it still adds up to a lot of dead people.

I don’t think there is a normal Johnny Depp.

@dazzalicious It’s a very old meme.

@guest sums it up well. Trump is just a man but The President is a office of great influence. His words don’t belong to him when uttered in public. They are part of the National Record. That’s why the WH has always had speechwriters because the words matter just as much as the meaning.

In. Front. Of. A. Camera.

He doesn’t get off that easily. He’s the President. He has to be precise in his words as much as his meanings. If he wants to joke or be sarcastic he needs to accept the consequences. There are people who take his words (not meanings) literally. Hell he asked about Space Force and now it’s a thing. Some folks probably assumed there would be lung disinfection clinics established soon.

Probably. I don’t have to achieve their level of expertise to get the broad strokes. But what he said shows a lack of even basic concepts if he really did think it was a good idea. Realistically he just needs to learn how to shut up. He wields the power of the Presidency like a toddler with a handgun.

That is also worrying. He’s been briefed by top virologists and epidemiologists for a solid month. If he’s still at the level where he is even suggesting you can sanitize lung tissue like it’s a countertop then he’s either not paying attention or not understanding.

It was. And there was no thematic connection to Apartheid in any way.
