Is there not a positive relationship between population and manufacturing capacity?  Especially in the USA, where we were the manufacturing power of the world for decades?  Sure, there’s some lead time involved to transition other manufacturing infrastructure to work on test production ... but we have turned automakers into ventilator producers.    

Have we enacted the DPA to put our dormant industrial infrastructure to work making tests?  Or have we just relied on Jared Kushner playing make-believe businessman and calling random bros at Labcorp to work out how to best sell the same fucking tests five different times?

Starting in the 1930s and continuing on into the 70’s the United Sates was the greatest manufacturing country and economy in the history of the world. Never had been duplicated and perhaps never will.

We moved away from that starting in the 80’s and continuing on and on until today whereby we reduced manufacturing and essentially became a service based economy subservient to Capital traders of the world on Wall Street. That is still the case today.

That is why Wall Street, even given the obvious losses in our country of service, income, etc., is still doing  relatively ok now. It has not collapsed. That’s because they sell to the world and the American worker is not really all that important to them nowadays.

The question then becomes is do we as a country, want to support multi national corporations that are based here and rely on our laws and legal system yet other than that don’t really need us so they can sell to the world by having us either working subservient service jobs or just sitting on our ass collecting unemployment. Is that really what america is all about? 

It is time to definitely time to re-evaluate things.

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Yes I am so tired of the winning. Been tired of it for going on three years now.

We were lucky for three years that the worst thing that happened was Trump, Moscow Mitch and their republican cronies only looted the country for their own profit. I myself thought we were lucky that that was all that had happened. 

I didn’t predict a disaster as bad as this. I was most worried about Trump somehow bumbling into a nuclear war because he got pissed at someone. 

I guess the good news is that hasn’t happened, yet.

That article is nuts. Who has been shaming people for going outside?  I’ve walked my dogs every day this shit show has been going on. People are everywhere. Have some people really not left their homes?

I guess maybe in a massive city like NYC it’s different, just based on density, but the author mentions multiple places. 

It's not hard or shamed here in nyc.  You can go outside and stay away from people pretty easily. I do it a lot here in queens multiple times a day for fresh air or to walk the dog.

What is with all the Bill Gates shit?  Why is he getting pillaged?

A lot of bat shit crazy conspiracy theories are being peddled about Gates regarding C19 from the Right. Most theories have him as the creator of the virus. Someone I know was pushing the theory on Social Media that Gates will only allow people to get the vaccine if they take the "mark of the beast."

If you hold out longer on this than bad_teammate does on not voting for Biden unless he sends a personally addressed notarized letter promising not to veto a hypothetical bill of bad_teammate’s choosing, we will buy you a wreath.

No they say nothing in my opinion. Because they assumed the US failure wouldn’t happen, or was not a factor to even be considered. Just like I always said. Prove me wrong.

On another note, I watched the movie the lighthouse last night. Strange movie. I think the willem Defoe character didn’t actually exist. Kind of like a movie version of Anastasis. Just really one guy talking to himself. Thoughts?

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.

That always rubs me the wrong way.  If someone says they are a "patriot" you can be 100% sure they are some kind of weirdo.

Fucking Threadgill's just closed after 87 years in Austin.

Success stories.

Yeah, this just shows me that they have absolutely no understanding about what is about to happen to the country. They really think everything is going to be back to normal when they snap their fingers.
