Re: Covfefe-19: Do What Now?

Well if doctors get really sick and cops get really sick, things could get bad.

So far I think it's just talk. It's exciting, like they're kind of hoping for anarchy.
Also, this is Houghton Co. MI, so the cops might just give them a commendation and a free box of ammo.

Tell the cops they're black. Black men with AR-15s..... They might just shoot first and ask questions later.

But if I tell the cops I saw a black man in rural Houghton County, they'll just tell me to take my temperature and wait for the ambulance.

My Trumpist colleague, who has been shopping like mad the last couple of weeks based on the sage advice of a Facebook meme called something like "buy bullets and beans" is planning a neighborhood watch schedule with his buddy, they both have AR-15s and they will be marching the road armed, in case they see anyone who's body they can later identify as a probable looter.

People are getting a little anxious.

In all seriousness, I would go nowhere north of the Liftbridge right now. Some of those people have a few screws loose.

Wait, do the people of Houghton look down on the people of Hancock? Kinda like Duluth/Superior?

Or more like a Minneapolis/St. Paul thing where they both look down on each other?

And normally we're proud of it, but it can get out of hand. There's been the usual talk of "if we blow up the lift bridge we'd be okay, but 300 million Americans would be stranded."

Not really, Houghton and Hancock are too tight (a good chunk of full time Tech faculty & staff live in Hancock, for one thing). But Houghton/Hancock vs. points north (Calumet) can get ugly. You don't sit on the wrong side at a HS hockey game.

That's a great image - there are times when it's impossible not to touch your face - and Pence still looks drugged to the gills. Has he been conscious even one day since taking office?

This is what always happens in a crisis. People come together. It takes a really sick ideology to pit us all against each other. It takes authoritarians to stir up mutual suspicion so that we all run under the protection of their skirt. That has always been the great lie of the Right.

There have been studies about this after disasters, and this is exactly what happens -- everybody pitches in to help each other. The most interesting part of those studies is how the lines between social status completely disappears. Rich and poor help each other without hesitation, when in normal times, they would barely look at each other. Funnily, after a number of days from the disaster, and it's almost the exact same number of days no matter the disaster, the behavior resorts right back to the norm between social strata.

That I can actually see. Those are hundred-plus-year-old rivalries. I mean, some of those go back to the days when living in a different town meant you worked for a different company and therefore threatened the livelihood of the other town.

CT/RI is like that. When I first heard it I literally burst into laughter. It's like NJ and NY bragging about who has the trashier beaches (narrator: "It was New Jersey").
