HUMANS BEING HUMAN

HOLTMANN HELPING OUT

Chris Holtmann did his part to support the fine folks who are keeping the campus community safe, delivering boxed lunches and a handwritten note to the Ohio State Department of Public Safety.



DO YOUR PART

If you're looking to help deliver a gut punch to COVID-19, the Franklin County Emergency Management and Homeland Security is still accepting donation for the following items:
  • Gowns
  • Non-Sterile Gloves
  • Surgical Masks (Ear Loop)
  • N95 Masks - All Sizes
  • Home Sewn Masks
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Viral Swabs/Viral Culture Vials
This list now includes hand-sewn masks, so if you're the handy type, whip some up.

Donations are accepted daily between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 5300 Strawberry Farms Blvd. Columbus, Ohio 43230.

Supply line failure and/or buying capacity evaporation are what could blow the roof off of this tinderbox and the fuse was lit because of this poorly thought out/executed state by state lockdown fiasco.

That's where i have to disagree.
No social distancing means the economy collapses for the decade. Not just a hickup.

A lot of this goes back to the hollowing out of America starting with Reagan and continuing, unbroken, right up to that latest Emergency Donor handout.

The fuse being lit was that bill.
They could have done the 1200 without means testing nonsense (who cares if Bill Gates gets a 1.2k check) or requiring direct deposit through IRS.
They just had to bureaucratize it to death. And so nobody who needs it will see it in time.

They could have simply paused all Capitalism for a month. No interest, no penalties, no accruing or capitalizing of interest ... just hit the pause button and add 1mo to the terms.
This would have been amazing for small business too. No debt/bills to pay, no reason to shutdown - just on hiatus for a month.

There's a lot they could have chosen to do.

They chose poorly.

One of the comments: David Attenborough voiceover: Its long winter hibernation over, the majestic panzer returns to the streams to feed. Mating season will come all too soon.
:slappy:

I really liked his (Attenborough) nature documentaries. If you don't remember his name you might remember his voice:

For starters, you’d have to pause it internationally for it to work. Not happening.

who gives a fuck? We are all gonna die. How might involve a few more minutes of pain than another but in the end we all go out the same we we cam in, alone.

fucking soccer moms have taken over the world.

Just sayin': I might have really "dodged a bullet" here with the timing. I was booked on a cruise where I would have been in India last week. Thursday and Friday the ship was to be in Mumbai. Fortunately Celebrity cancelled the cruise a little over a week before it was to start.

Serious question: If Celebrity hadn't cancelled, would you have gone anyway?

My point being if we had the ability to flex into testing at scale we wouldn't have had to nuke the economy to save lives.

the rest is much more nuanced and I'm just too tired to take it line by line

respect your views and opinion though bro, even if I don't agree with all of it

but that's all of us though isn't it? Only God/Woody and Kirk Herbstreit are perfect.
