Amazingly people in different parts of states and countries have different needs and circumstances. I just wish we had a decentralized form of government that rested most day to day power in the hands of local politicians as opposed to centralized, disconnected ones. That system would be nice.

The "Karens" in Baton Rouge and Nola will quickly shutup when they realize their husband will actually be laid off too, causing them to hurt financially and now have to pull Braxton an Kaitlinn out of private school and send to public school with the colored kids

It turns out that people being insulated from the consequences of their decisions clouds their incentives. Big shocker there

I’m thinking about the only kick in the arse that’ll work is gov facing massive layoffs

None.
This is the outcome they wanted.

Harris County has less than 50 deaths in a county of 4.7 million people and our version of a Parish President is mandating mandatory masks through May
It’s absolute insanity

Don’t forget refrigerated semis outside hospitals to hold the piles of dead bodies. The only thing more deadly than this virus is tax cuts.

White suburban females (and the politicians that use them) have caused more damage to this country than all the cases of Covid combined.

This situation is so fricked. I saw yesterday that Nashville is trying to raise property taxes 20-40% to cover the loss of tourism and tax revenue. So the government takes away people's livelihoods then raises their taxes dramatically...

Because the government's voter base doesn't pay property taxes.
You'll find the same in any large city.

Why do you think police in LA are going to start rolling out “information gathering” check points and fining people $500-$1000 for not wearing masks while outside?

Flatten the curve!!!

Funny how quickly politicians and the media abandoned that

The curve has been flattened.
In areas where the peak of the 95% confidence interval of the projected remaining curve from the IMHE model stays under the hospital infrastructure limit, there is no longer a reason to keep an area on lockdown if you even remotely trust the models.
If they are going into May as some sort of factor of safety then fine I guess, but we are running out of legitimate reasons that Big Brother has to keep businesses shut down in most nonurban areas.

kinda hard to bounce right back when the government won't let you, right?

Agree, I'm afraid the exact opposite will occur. Government will be the preferred provider of life's necessities [and wants].
