It’s only a matter of time before corporate leaders (3M??) tell us how they were told to favor his “friends” and hurt his “enemies”. Will it matter? probably not.

But for example, Iowans, dying en masse bcs right wing state governments can’t be bothered, is going to be electorally interesting (and morally outrageous).

I’m most interested in Michigan, whose gov he called out.

Life comes at you fast.

I've been messaging at my blackshirt cousins who post sh*t like that on Facebook, asking them to take this seriously and not get themselves killed.

The David Lat thread on twitter has a lot of questions about why some people get hit hard and others don't. There's one component that thinks that there is a dose response in severity to exposure dose (why it has been fatal to numerous young ER doctors) but beyond that no one knows.

More men than women are dying.

Anecdotally, it seems more young ER docs than old ER docs. Is that because ER doctoring sucks and older doctors find something else to do?

Anecdotally, the ER doc I knew when I was in school is now in management. Anecdotally, George Clooney went on to feature films.

Give those people money through unemployment insurance and the SBA programs. They then have dollars to buy booze.

But all fixed costs like rent, mortgage, etc. are frozen for 60 days. On commercial side, too.

No defaults allowed, no adverse credit reporting. Freeze time.

Banks are already doing a lot of this. But it’s disorganized. And many landlords, residential and comm, get that forbearance from the bank and nevertheless hammer tenants.
