They’re looking to run you out of business completely. Can’t have mail-in voting if there’s no mail.

Re: Covid-19

Without delving too far into politics, I feel like one of the trends here is that an unknown is more appealing than a known. For Britain, 'Brexit' included any number of possibilities, including a relationship with the EU more like Norway (in the EU in all but name) or Canada (basic trade agreement from half-way around the world). So people could put their hopes and dreams into a vaguely-labelled container, even if the reality of it could only be much narrower.

For US presidential elections, you could say the same about 2016 - a relative 'known' against a relative 'unknown' in terms of leadership at that level. 2020 looks more like two 'knowns' to me.

There are lots of crap labels that people give racism and xenophobia in the moment.

Don’t forget the Russians. It will tell us a lot about the Russians.

Just like Trump, I don't an election to know or learn about Putin.

Mitch McConnell's plan is to allow NY State to default on my pension. Literally.

Saw that.

it is a good to get a daily reminder of how awful a human being that man is.

It's not easy to be that consistenly, pathetically depraved but he manages it.

Phil Murphy should pile on

He always did Mitch McConnell as Cecil Turtle from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

McConnell is old enough that it's possible he was the inspiration for Cecil the Turtle.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Cases of the new coronavirus are overwhelming hospitals, morgues and cemeteries across Brazil as Latin America’s largest nation veers closer to becoming one of the world’s pandemic hot spots.

Medical officials in Rio de Janeiro and at least four other major cities have warned that their hospital systems are on the verge of collapse, or already too overwhelmed to take any more patients.

Health experts expect the number of infections in the country of 211 million people will be much higher than what has been reported because of insufficient, delayed testing.

Meanwhile, President Jair Bolsonaro has shown no sign of wavering from his insistence that COVID-19 is a relatively minor disease and that broad social-distancing measures are not needed to stop it. He has said only Brazilians at high risk should be isolated.

In Manaus, the biggest city in the Amazon, officials said a cemetery has been forced to dig mass graves because there have been so many deaths. Workers have been burying 100 corpses a day — triple the pre-virus average of burials.

This will get worse.
