You know absolutely nothing about the Andrew Yang campaign if you don't know about his white nationalist support. They made up about half of his supporters. They pretty much prevented Yang from becoming a viable candidate, since the DNC is sure as hell not going to want Richard Spencer, Don Black, David Duke et al to be supporting the Democratic candidate.

I know it's hard to understand why white nationalists would support an Asian for president. But it definitely happened.
It's from the Big Short.

Another thing I'd like to add is that middle aged people would be the ones dying from unemployment.

While I'm not trying to demean old people, it's not like the people dying from coronavirus had a whole lot of years ahead of them anyway.
85 people out of 320,000,000 is really no big deal.
Granted that usually means more permanent unemployment than losing your job for two weeks to a month. And furthermore can mean having the stress of wondering if you're ever going to get another job again.

But I wonder if this coronavirus scare could kill more people than it saves.
The bartenders in Florida need to sue the governor for lost wages.

It's a bit discriminatory to only close bars, anyway. Why should bars be closed, but normal restaurants be allowed to remain open? It's almost like the governor is some closeted Prohibitionist who now sees an excuse to close all the bars.

Are all the white nationalists on the poli board who supported Andrew Yang and the UBI excited about this?

The march to the triple digits

Will the number of coronavirus deaths in the US finally hit the triple digits today?

If so, will the media be more obsessed with coronavirus than ever?
What a fricking loser of a governor. I thought Republicans were supposed to be pro-business rights.

Does he even have the power to do this? Shouldn't it have to pass the legislature?

4 dead in Florida out of 21.3 million people. Not even one out of 5 million people have died. People use the one in a million phrase to describe super long odds, but the coronavirus hasn't even killed 20% of that many people in FL.
These type of fake stories spread rapidly all the time around Facebook. Often, small details of the story (such as where the parents lived) change as the story gets passed around.

Just because the poli board has some stupid anti-Semitic theories about the story being created by George Soros or the ghost of Saul Alinsky doesn't mean the story is actually true.
I think the OP is making this up. I tried to find an article about this on google, and couldn't find one.
Washington state is to coronavirus what Philadelphia was to the Spanish flu, in terms of the disease being centered there.

Washington state has a population of 7.536 million. After 2.5 weeks, 40 people have died there.

Philadelphia in 1918 had a population of about 1.8 million. After just one week, 4,500 people had died there.

See the difference?

This article actually shows the stupidity of the coronavirus hoopla. These diseases don't go from not even killing in the triple digits after 17 days, to killing in the 6 (or some insist even 7) digits after 5 months.
Very few people are even needing hospitalization for coronavirus. Even if we still only had 1918 quality medicine, I doubt coronavirus would be that bad.

While medical care can obviously help you survive coronavirus, it's not like it can do much of anything to prevent you from contacting coronavirus. (Unless we eventually develop a vaccine for coronavirus, which he haven't yet.)
While I'm sure this article is true, there's nothing to suggest the coronavirus is the real deal like the Spanish Flu was. Absolutely nothing.

That article says the Spanish Flu killed 4500 people in Philadelphia alone in its first week. According to wiki, Philadelphia's population in 1920 was 1.823 million. 4500 out of 1.8 million, all in the course of one week, is obviously a huge ratio.

Even if Philadelphia was theoretically the site of half the Spanish flu deaths in America during the first week, that would mean 9000 Americans died in the first week. In a country that was less than a third as populated as it is today.

The coronavirus has been in the US, a country of 320 million people, for two and a half weeks, and has killed 85 people.


That article actually makes it extremely clear that if coronavirus was anything to worry about, we'd already have seen huge death tolls in the US. In fact, we'd have already seen huge death tolls a week and a half ago.

We wouldn't simply be mindlessly speculating about how bad coronavirus will be in the future.
Tennessee and LSU are easily #2 and #3. Florida is at the bottom of the Big 6. IDK about Auburn vs UGA.

Florida wouldn't have even been considered part of the Big Six 30 years ago, had the secrant/tigerdroppings existed back then.

Auburn 2012 football

Posted by Floridagators on 3/17/20 at 9:55 am
I'm trying to determine if LSU could be headed toward this road under Orgeron.

I'm sure part of this Auburn team's problem was the Loeffler/Van Gorder coordinator combo, which is the worst I've ever heard of on one team.

Malzahn might be overrated as an OC, but he certainly beats the hell out of Loeffler. And I'm inclined to think that Malzahn was better as a playcaller when he wasn't also doubling up as head coach. (Doubling up as OC and head coach might just be too much responsibility.)

Ted Roof was bad as DC, but he was better than Van Gorder.


At LSU, the Scott Linehan hire was nightmarish. I'd venture to say he might prove to be as bad of an OC as Scott Loeffler.

The Pelini hire looks solid, but some people think he's overrated. And I will say that Van Gorder, a Broyles winner at UGA before he left for the Falcons, actually would have seemed like a solid hire when Auburn hired him. Just like Pelini, he was considered a great college DC, but then stopped being a college DC for a while....

Shouldn't Gene Chizik be given credit for finding Cam Newton, by that standard?

I mean, every coach tries to find good assistants and good QBs. But just because they find the right assistant or right QB once doesn't mean they'll do it again. It could just mean the coach guessed correctly once, but they'll guess incorrectly next time.

And LSU's assistant budget certainly didn't hurt with hiring Joe Brady.
I don't think you'll see any Biden signs in any of the 50 states. Nobody is excited about Joe Biden's candidacy. Seriously, how the hell could anybody get excited about the prospect of Joe Biden as president? I don't know how that's humanly possible. He's probably the most boring presidential candidate in American history.

People vote for Biden, but that doesn't mean they're excited about him or will buy bumper stickers or signs for him.
People forget that not only did Warren take away votes from Bernie on Super Tuesday, but she also destroyed Bloomberg, who previously was polling at least even with Biden for moderate votes.

With that being said, I doubt Warren will be selected as VP. She was probably just obeying what the party leaders told her to do because she wanted to remain in their good graces.
Why is San Francisco spending a gazillion dollars on the net around Golden Gate when they have such a big homeless problem?

Don't they realize that their homeless problem would be solved completely if the homeless jumped off the bridge?

The OP is a 15 year old who's at school every day, and they have internet filters there.
