Good to know that G&Ts have additional medicinal uses.

Gin and Tonic was born out of the British trying to make their malaria medicine taste better.

Take allocated money from our budget and reassign it to aid.

Much of the budget is already aid

 

[Volsfaninva917]

So this is for sure racist and stereotypical

Or they could step up and let the least vulnerable get back to work and earn more than the $1200 handout.

Lets see, that would be non geriatric white women without any underlying conditions.

 

[FLVOL_79]

The numbers game being played down here is absolutely crazy after the re-open announcement.

Hows that? Atlanta, Albany, and Savannah should keep doing what they have been doing since they are the hotspots here.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Lol. He isnt forcing them to open. What a crap argument. There just wont be a government mandated shutdown. That doesnt mean there is a government mandated opening.

but if there is no government shut down, and he has eased restrictions....they can not apply for federal aid.

 

[allvol123]

most individuals pay taxes....give us our tax money back during this pandemic. I have been working and paying taxes over 30 years. Give me what is mine.

So do most companies.

So this is for sure racist and stereotypical

It is considering the lowest literacy rates in this country tend to be with people who vote democrat.

Gin and Tonic was born out of the British trying to make their malaria medicine taste better.

half and half was born from a British ritual too. Throwing the bed bowl out the the bedroom window every morning with the proclamation afs’s me wife’s and afs’s me own

Yes they can.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

So do most companies.

companies are not people. Some companies pay zero in income taxes....

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Lets see, that would be non geriatric white women without any underlying conditions.

So you need to report back to work ASAP.

 

[LouderVol]

I'm just curious if they have some belief that this is dying down in 4 weeks.

at this point it just looks like they are reacting and not making actual predictions. Seems like they are more worried about looking right than trusting their own process.

I think they will get the number pretty close in the end, but after a lot more adjustments. They are playing the game.

 

[hog88]

companies are not people. Some companies pay zero in income taxes....

Companies ARE people. And some "people" pay zero in income taxes

 

[McDad]

Your gonna get crickets on this one.

I did. Deafening crickets. In PT's defense, I get it. The conversation I engaged is not fun for anybody (not just PT).

We are at a point where those who want to continue the shelter at home demand more money be given out. Okay...at what point do we run out of money (if ever)? It is easy to kill the other person's sacred cow to pump funds into the economy, when will those who want to continue to shelter be willing to kill their own cow? How much more money can we pump until the farm goes bankrupt?

See? These questions aren't fun to argue about.

my wife would love to go back. I'd do it too since my risk is negligible. You cower at home

 

[GAVol]

Hows that? Atlanta, Albany, and Savannah should keep doing what they have been doing since they are the hotspots here.

Numbers show the statewide spike was around 4/14 but people are citing other metrics and even trying to sell a second spike. Atlanta Mayor called out the Macon Mayor for doing nothing in a hotspot.... it’s not a hotspot. People on both sides are grabbing whatever stat fits their perspective.

 

[Mick]

Calling people who are pushing back on government overreach sheep seems inaccurate. Especially when the arguer wants them to listen to the government telling them they cant buy seeds or earn wages or whatever the individual state restrictions are.

There're people so anti government all it takes is a whisper of government overreach for them to protest in the streets. Common sense would tell you not to do that during a pandemic but, as always, common sense takes a backseat to idiocy with those people.

 

[LouderVol]

we are told to eat healthier, don't drink and drive, follow safety laws, and to exercise. We ignore most of those things that the big bad government agencies tell us.

Yes, and?

 

[volbeast33]

I haven’t stopped working...... let’s open it back up

I guess we should have just halted the revolution during the smallpox epidemic of 1775?

 

[RikidyBones]

It was implied that the people getting riled up by memes that are started and shared through social media are the sheep. The memes calling for individuals to gather in large groups to protest the government asking them to shelter at home to slow down the spread of a deadly virus. At this point in time, it is the duty of the government to take care of the citizens. It is not a handout, they are giving us back the taxes that we pay, every year. No one should be forced to choose between providing for their family and death, however small or large that percentage is.

No one should be forced to close their business by the government and watch their lifes work go down the drain without compensation. No one should have their rights of assembly taken away. Just because you are too chicken **** to fight for your natural rights, doesnt mean others should stand down. I celebrate the folks demonstrating. It shows the government present and future that Americans arent as easily manipulated by fear. It shows that government overreach will be met with friction and it shows that people are willing to fight for it. Good for them.

 

[LouderVol]

The daily body count is definitely fueling a portion of the hysteria. The general public doesn’t understand or have a stomach for statistics.

They are fine with it until they are told to not be fine with it. Plenty of "acceptable" deaths that dont cause an uproar.

 

[McDad]

companies are not people. Some companies pay zero in income taxes....

Are income taxes the only type of tax worthy or being returned to the payer?

 

[allvol123]

Dang, so odd that people dont get in line. Maybe we should force them.
