We are so fucked

Yeah what the hell is going on

After reading the article I do tend to think “flattening the curve” to be an exercise in futility.

I just don’t think it’s reasonable to shut down society for two years.

Is such a thing even possible?

Yup. If the debate continues like this I can't see any way Bernie doesn't drop out within a few days.

They (stupidly) think because less than 100,000 have been infected in China that it will be the same everywhere else.

I’m taking screen shots of tweets like these so they can be reposted in a couple months.

Milk seems like the worst thing to buy for reselling purposes so I’d tend to find it plausible that she’s running a daycare or something like that rather than an attempt at profiteering.

Oooh one non-white person there.

*all white and mostly men

Like I get it that Weinstein was a terrible person but, just in general I feel like we shouldn't mistreat people just because they are convicts. I think Tolstoy said something like you can judge a society based on how their prisoners are treated.

thoughts and prayers

They’re making the WRONG decision. There’s three candidates in the race, let them all speak!

Hot take: public infrastructure spending is giving it back to the people.

It’s pretty much impossible not to touch your face.

Is such a thing possible?

Oh ok good point.

I don’t get this. You think they were happy to see trump win?

God I hope so

For a significant amount of people (and I include myself in this group) the idea of Trump winning was absurd. I remember, prior to the election, somebody getting in a Twitter argument with Silver saying that Clinton had a 99.9% chance of winning. It wasn't the polls that made people think Trump only had a 0.1% chance of winning. The polls said he probably wouldn't win and people combined that with their absolute revulsion with Trump to conclude there was no way he could win. Then in hindsight, no one wanted to label themselves as being wrong so they'd rather say "well the polls misled me." It's impossible to prove but I bet that polls wouldn't have gotten nearly as bad a rap if Romney had won in 2012 as they did when Trump won, even though as I recall in 2012 the polls were predicting an Obama win with far greater certainty. People would've seen Romney win and shrugged saying "well pollsters said he had a 10% chance of winning" (or whatever the odds were) because a Romney victory wouldn't have been as much of a mind breaking thing as a Trump victory was.

well at least there's some good news tonight

Mitt Romney

The GOOD thing about a Biden nomination is there’s absolutely no reason to worry about it resulting in a Biden presidency.
