More people are projected to die in FL than in CA. Hopefully the extra 2-3 weeks of economic activity was worth it to the people who refused to stay at home.

That will be the day, plus all of their intolerant church-going brethren.

So if any of you weren't really paying attention when hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, I have good news for you!

He totally tossed them LOTS of rolls of paper towels to help them clean up their inconvenient mess, while simultaneously gaslighting them and blaming them for their own problems, and everything got 100% fixed and life was great. At least it was until this whole Democratic/Chinese hoax nonsense. Amirite????

Sooo... it's a pretty safe bet he will toss you rolls of highly coveted TP, since...um... America!!! Check's in the mail, but please get back to work ASAP. Also: no complaining!

Enjoy!

Did you see who he ran against? A joke, that is who.

All I wish for Christmas is an actually decent Democratic candidate.

That is highly unlikely per capita.

Italy is approaching 15,000 deaths and the US population is 5.5 theirs.

Spain 11,000+ dead. 15% US population.

Neither, unfortunately, is out of the woods. On a per capita basis, both are headed for worst impact than US is.

Covid-19 site you have previously mentioned projects 93k US toll by 8-4.

Bad here-yes, but unfortunately for EU, their plight is much worse.

The government stole the surplus the Boomers put into the SS and spent it on something else turning it into a deficit like they've done everything else.

After the $1,700,000,000 Obamacare web site crashed, it was hauled off to the junkyard.

Rick Scott bought it off a scrap dealer for $1.

He re-purposed it into the Florida unemployment porthole.

Florida's unemployment process is a nightmare. Even when you put in absolutely correct info, it says it is not correct and kicks you out. Then you have to try to call them, and that is nightmare number two.

They purposefully made it impossible to navigate so a lot of people would simply give up trying.

Why is no one talking about NJ?

They had the swiftest, quickest, immediate shutdowns ... and have 30,000 cases in a state of 8 million. Case numbers continue to climb ...
