Just happened to turn on this Frontline episode they did in Italy during the height of the madness and holy fuck do I feel a need to beat the shit out of a gaggle of our covid truthers. Shit is a nightmare.
Glad I canceled my Milan/Switzerland Hertz rental two weeks ago. Was worried that they might go belly-up, but they gave me a full refund
Don't want to get all "libtard cuck socialist" here but I think there needs to be some kind of regulation around cash reserves so that in the event of the slightest hint of economic instability these huge companies don't go belly up. Or you know, just don't bail them out. Cool either way
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...t-junkies-and-why-its-only-getting-worse/amp/ Good article for you. This incredible debt crisis extended to the biggest companies who now know that the US government won’t let them fail so they really don’t have any incentive to act responsibly. If companies like this have been saddled with this much debt, it shouldn’t surprise folks that a majority of the companies in this country are and that a lot of our growth in the last decade was debt based.
Would be a real shame if those shitty evangelicals had to close their churches because they couldn't grift donations any more
Mississippi church fighting coronavirus restrictions burned to the ground "Bet you stay home now you hypokrits" was written in parking lot at church that had sued the city over its public health orders. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ronavirus-restrictions-burned-ground-n1212646
Or the shitty redneck grifter pastor was in need of some cash because his source of income was put on hold and he saw a way to cash in while also blaming “the libs”. But who knows? I’m just a cynical atheist.
They are probably just doing it to restructure their debt payments. They aren't going out of business
They will be bought up by some private equity company imo Pretty sure one already owns a decent chunk of Hertz as it is
The hilarious/infuriating part of that article is...$20 billion is stock buy backs and debt for a company worth $4 billion. And we just gave them another $25 billion. The markets are so fucking efficient and will work everything out!!
This is blatantly transparent and it amazes me people will fall for this. So this fucker said the response was up to states yet want to overrule state for stupid shit like letting fake Christian's worship a fake entity?
Observations from week 1: Keep in mind I'm a small hospital in Chicago where they had problems way before covid. The problem in a lot of these places goes way above ventilators. Having a ventilator doesn't do much good when you don't have the rest of the things required to provide proper care. I had a patient Thursday on 15 liters of oxygen via non-rebreather mask and I didn't have continuous oxygen saturation monitoring because the floor I'm on doesn't have vital signs machines in the rooms. There's only 4 of them of the floor and there's 20 patients. He was a DNR/DNI and died that night. If they had the ventilators, they don't have the other equipment. If they had both of those, they don't have the open rooms. If they did have the open rooms, they don't have the staff. If they had the staff, they don't have the PPE. I've pretty much accepted that I'll get covid while I'm here. I've been in and out of covid rooms for 3 days and I've been wearing the same paper gown for the entire time. (How we're 3 months into this and that is still the PPE situation is beyond me) Each patient has their room specific paper gown and we're wearing that over the top of our personal paper gown whenever we're in the room. 1 N95 mask a day.
Apparently there is indeed unintelligent life outside of American borders. My guess is that you don't need to understand German (?) to glean what the article was insinuating.
No idea on the backstory on this. Isn't 2nd picture a mirror picture so tattoos would be flipped? He looks like he has forearm tats in 2nd pic.
Is it possible that second picture is a mirror image and the dude's right arm appears as his left arm in the after shot? Am I missing the joke?
Yes, that was my point regarding the unintelligent remark. The dude in the picture had COVID and I believe was on a respirator, lost all his gains, took an after picture. The after picture was mirrored, you can clearly see the correct tattoo on the other arm.
Feels good that we’ve all stayed home and yet the time is wasted when we hear these stories. Utter incompetence.
Uh, I don’t think the article had those red circles. You mean whomever made the picture and added the circles?
Yes, I just posted the image from a Facebook post where it was several hundred people circle jerking claiming that the guy's story was fake. I just tried to go find the post but I think the page blocked me because I told them all that they're rubes.
Just got back from the grocery store. People have officially stopped giving anything resembling a fuck about this. Seriously might as well just open shit up and let nature do its thing at this point
