It's come to this.
Author: Raine    Date: 03/09/2020 12:54:11

Good Morning. I don't have much to say this morning except this:

Wash those hands. At this point, it almost seems like a panacea, but if that helps to calm nerves, so be it.

Also, now would be a good time for the monster in the White House to resign. Senator Cruz self quarantining, is only the beginning of people realizing that this is not a 'liberal hoax' the virus doesn't care about politics. Maybe it's time the GOP learned that lesson. As I said on the Book of Face, conservatives seem to want the change that liberals do when it affects them personally. That gives me hope that something will be done.

It was only a matter of time before we would experience how inept this administration is. I never would have picked a global pandemic. One thing I know now more than ever is that we elect someone who will get people to vote down-ticket. we need competent leaders in all publicly held offices.

What we are seeing now is the culmination of libertarian republican conservatism -- it's the dystopian Ayn Randian horror story that so many level-headed people thought would happen. We have to get back to the (small d) democratic values that care for the least of our brethren because we really are only as secure as the most vulnerable among us.

I am angry that it literally had to come to this point.

and
Raine

Morning

Seriously never thought my enjoyment of the dystopian genre (never read Rand) would lead to having to enacted real world measures. Though I did think there would be more swords.

I suppose, like I did years ago during the Marathon Bombing shutdown, I could pull out my machete and lovingly sharpen and hone the blade.

I know of an abandoned Scout Camp within a two-hour drive that could probably be used as a safe haven when society collapses.

I saw the markets went into free fall early on.

Hanging in there. My feet feel heavy today so I struggled a little with the physical therapist.

To get a good example of how screwed we are, re: how inter-connected we all are as a society, read TriSec's weekend blog

Doctors just changed the dressing on my amputated foot. Healing seems to be going in the right direction. It's still a wait and see process, but there seems to be progress now.
