The goal of stay-at-home orders was to flatten the curve and prevent the hospitals from being overrun, which we have definitely achieved in Texas. It makes sense to slowly reopen businesses and keep a close watch on testing numbers and hospital capacity. If it goes well, then roll out phase 2. If it doesn't go well, then we pull back again. The people arguing against this now seem to have shifted the goal of stay-at-home orders to something other than protecting the healthcare system. I'm not sure what they think a rational endpoint is. Eradication of COVID-19 or vaccine availability? Neither is likely to occur within a year. No one is forcing a business to reopen or for people to go out to restaurants. People still have the option to stay home and lots of people will.22 points

I’ve mentioned this before, but that video is a great demonstration of the point. Trumpism isn’t a political movement so much as a cultural phenomenon. Many Middle Americans revere an eccentric patchwork of sanitized nostalgia that they view as synonymous with “America.” If you were to ask a group of run-of-the-mill midwesterners to list the most important American values, they’d include things like Golden Corral, water slides, cargo shorts, a specific arrangement of words spoken or sung in the direction of a specific arrangement of stripes and stars, Jesus, and four wheelers. They literally assume the superficial details of their daily lives are the important differentiators that make the US great. That wealthy, educated, stylish “elites” on the coasts ignore (at best) or mock (at worst) those cultural details is viewed as an attack not on passé provincial culture but on America itself. Trump and MAGA are now part of that culture. He’s not so much a political figure as a cultural icon, the new Fat Elvis. His name and image are a brand that signals a shared culture, a way to advertise that you’re a working class Midwesterner who doesn’t cotton to all that fancy liberal coastal shit. There’s nothing wrong with that culture, per se. The problem is when it acts to drive political divisions. Bannon was right about culture and politics as it applies to 21st Century America. We’re sorting ourselves politically along cultural lines.14 points

more cases won't stop the depression. people aren't going to go out, they aren't getting on planes, people won't schedule conferences or concerts and we won't have large gatherings as long as we have case numbers going up and people still can't get tests. we've been saying this shit for 2 months but you dumb fuckers still can't understand it. enjoy your shitty tex mex though.12 points

Well, fuck the Chicoms.... the Aussies, Americans, and Europeans don’t need to buy all the cheap shit that enables those tourists to act like Ugly Americans. Apple supposedly is already starting to move some of their operations back to the US, and I suspect a lot of other industries will follow suit. Our homegrown manufacturing needs to be reenergized so we don’t reply on those assholes for so much of our critical needs. Yeah, I’ll pay more for better quality US made shit.11 points

So Donald Trump dismantled the NSC's pandemic response outfit, and a couple of years later, over 50,000 Americans died... In a pandemic... And he made it worse by downplaying the danger and refusing to listen to doctors and scientists... Because he was afraid of what the truth would do to his money... And to his re-election chances... So tens of thousands more Americans died, literally fucking died... It should be impossible for anyone to defend him after this. Forget everything else. This one thing, by itself, should have made absolutely everyone turn on him. But you're welcome to keep this up, of course, you army of Fox News parroting idiots. You just don't get to call yourselves patriots ever again.10 points

Setting small fires to prevent a big one from spreading is also a successful wildfire reduction strategy. I'm not sure why you keep using that example. In fact putting out small fires actually led to catastrophic wildfires out west, so your analogy is terrible and you should feel bad.9 points

It’s fascinating that you don’t see any irony in this statement. If nothing else, trumpkins should be sociologically studied.7 points

All this home time has obviously given my wife time to look around and figure out shit she isn't happy with in our house. After fielding a couple of what she intended to seem as random and unrelated questions about "real estate" yesterday I knew what was up. As I went to bed last night I said....."If you decide you want to move, make sure to leave me a forwarding address so I can send you a Christmas card every year.....good night."7 points

Also, I agree, Jackson isn’t happening anymore. I’m also okay with passing on Byrd for those same reasons. Foster isn’t happening and the staff should honestly stop wasting their time. His mother will disown him before allowing him to sign with Texas. The Brocks are not coming to Texas. They were all Clemson and then all Bama. They have gone out of their way to say that they want other schools to recruit them. They skipped out on our elite junior day. They visited Bama twice in the spring and then proceeded to set up two official visits to them, one of them being the last visit before their imminent commitment date. Also, daddy Brock can go fuck himself as well. As much I hate Herman, the dad seems like a arrogant prick as well. I’m petty as fuck and I would pull Luke’s scholarship out of spite. He can go walkon at Bama and get a third rate degree from there. Fuck them.7 points

- Random 247 Texas poster says that the OU board has a post that Wheaton is committing soon. I did a quick scan and didn't see it, and of course 247 doesn't have the search function - Roach says that Wheaton is informing some schools that they're out, and that Texas hasn't been informed - Idiot poster on OBs who struggles to post coherently posts something about smoke that Wheaton could be committing to Texas soon, per the two points mentioned above The original post on the OU board, if it exists, would be useful here. Otherwise, this is just reinforcing what we already know; Texas is in the top group for Wheaton7 points

Well yeah but if those business CAN be open then their insurers probably don't have to pay business interruption claims and the state won't have to pay anyone who says "Yeah fuck that!" when they get called back to sling cocktails for any swinging dick off the street, which is the entire point of this exercise.6 points
