I was going to try something new by signing up with a right wing online troll farm, but they told me the position had just been filled.

Electing Joe Biden is how you don't commit suicide? Ha!

I think its better we take the short term economic hit to suppress the bug until we can at least find a somewhat effective medical treatment. But I'm not hurting so I'd expect people out of work to be more anxious about ending or reducing these lock downs. My state's guv has extended our lock down until May 3rd.

We now are in a second lockdown. What do you think now? The death rate is drastically lower than it was at its peak. This whole world has gone totally insane.

If that happens, the country has given up and committed suicide

Amid Pandemic and Recession, Ivanka Trump-Led #FindSomethingNew Campaign Denounced as 'Stunningly Tone Deaf'

A White House initiative to compel American workers to find different jobs as the coronavirus pandemic rages and millions are out of work is under fire for what critics are describing as a thoughtless tagline: "Find something new."

I think wrapping up saving the economy as a Trumpian message is wrong, and makes a false dichotomy.

We, as societies, let people die all the time for economic ‘good’. We permit a level of toxins to be pumped into the air that quantifiably kill in the name of economic progress. We send soldiers to go and fight wars of economic interest, whilst doing nothing where we have no interests. We don’t pay enough for everyone to have health coverage without limit - some treatments are too expensive is often the only reason to deny treatment.

We are constantly doing a cost vs life evaluation. Sometimes incorrectly, sometimes with different personal choices on what those costs are and what a life is worth. But we make them.

Would you accept a full lockdown like we have today if it saved no lives? What about 1? 10? 1,000? 1 million?

The argument of what a life is worth is crass, but necessary. There will be wide opinions, but don’t make the argument of economy vs life a night/day preserve of one group of people or party against another. It is a spectrum we are all on.

Also, on dichotomy - There is more to unpack - you can reduce economic cost and maximise life without a linear trade-off. Eg, shielding the sick and infirm will impact the economy less and save more people than shielding the young only, which will hurt the economy a lot for very little life saving.

The real question is why doesn't the left understand this AT ALL! (Present company exempt)

It's going to be hilarious to watch after he wins again. I guess you weren't around in 2016. It was the single greatest day in Poly history.

Let me know when Trump supporters start going into churches and threatening to have babies taken away from their mothers.

[Kidlicious]

Let me know when Trump supporters get on their knees and apologize for being the race that God made them, then we can talk about them being in a cult.

Tide has turned. Stick a fork in this orange chicken cause he's done:

Hi, my name is Josh and I live in North Carolina and I voted for Donald Trump — my bad, fam,” he begins, before explaining that this November will mark the first time “ever, ever” that he will vote for a Democrat. “If Joe Biden drops out and the DNC runs a tomato can, I will vote for the tomato can, because I believe the tomato can will do less harm than our current president.

Yes, totally. And now Stone will appeal his 7 convictions, in all likelihood.

[-Jrabbit]

There is an upside: Commutation also means that, while the punishment is ended, tone's 7 convictions stand. So he's officially a felon, 7 times over.

Smells more like #2...

[Dauphin]

I stand corrected.

So it’s Trump looking out for #1 again.
