not an expert in politics but at least bad timing from boris
to come out of the eu, it seems that they will be the ones
paying us for this plague

coronavirus update: the guys that run the liquor store were
running around like chickens with their heads cut off;
hustling to restock the shelves... however, it did not seem
like they were having any problems acquiring enough product
to meet demands

there's been so much backpedaling on this shit -- and i
don't just mean trump going from "it's a democratic hoax! a
media witch hunt!" to "it's really bad."

i mean the CDC going 250 -- no, wait, 50... no, 10! all the
state governors saying "i'm going out to eat tonight,
restaurants will not be closing" and then being all "we're
closing all bars and restaurants" under twelve hours later.

i don't think they're going to do a national
shelter-in-place if it gets really bad, but the governor's
denying a statewide shelter-in-place, which means we will
get exactly that unless things slow down.

so that's the point where you go from being "i could last
two weeks just fine after all the stuff i've just bought" to
"i think i just heard trump say july or august." i suppose
the grocery stores will still be there, but i am debating
whether i should make another run on the weed dispensary,
because i have no idea whether they'd let those places stay
open if statewide shelter-in-place hit. i suspect they'd let
liquor stores stay open to keep people sedated in their
homes, however, and ideally, that would extend to
dispensaries too. i also suppose they have medical reasons
for remaining open, nice, ok. but would they limit it to
medical only, and no recreational?

so many variables.

Our water not working. Im out in the street, trying to check
the meter in my pyjamas and the lady from across the street
calls me “hey, do youuu like chilli sauce?” “Yes
chilli sauce is great!” “Come inside, I have chill sauce
for you.” I shouldve said no but my brain doesn’t work
properly for at least an hour after waking up, so I went in.
Her dogs are all over me, she’s up in my space. Next thing
I know, Im standing on a chair getting chilli sauce from a
high cupboard. Walked out there with 4 jars of chilli and a
potential case of corona.

our infection rate is still relatively low on the list but
the president has shut down the country, banned a bunch of
countries from getting in, cancelled visas, closed schools
and told everyone to do an elbow bump as a greeting. After
his speech on Sunday night, shops were EMPTY. Glad we had
the foresight to do our panic shopping before the
president's speech.

There's nothing wrong with self interest as long as you
recognize who shares common interest with you, and who
doesn't, and act accordingly.

I have noticed an effort by the media to turn this from a
story about the failures of leadership and inherent
structural problems within the neoliberal order, towards a
story about some helpless, dumb and panicked people here and

40 years of cutting to the bone, 40 years of social
atomisation and isolation, 40 years of a free market
fundamentalist mentality that has come to dominate
everything and changed from "success comes from competition"
to an open endorsement of its corollary, "failures must be
allowed to die naturally"

assuming the nsa and their partners haven't got even
"better" at tracking you via satellite or cable tap, it
takes 0.686 seconds for you to be automatically tagged for
surveillance. under the TURBINE programme, your physical
location is the tip of the iceberg. israel is just using
different data points to determine who's tracked. dystopian
