Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.

3 years of stock market gains wiped out with reports of high level government knowledge and action before the fall.

Basic goods being bought and hoarded which isn't outside the bounds of logic alone. Coupled with the type of supposed threat we're facing does however make hoarding those items illogical.

Business forced to close at the behest of their government. Workers facing reliance on the government for a stopgap paycheck which will be used to prop up an industry with a track record of failure and insolvency.

Americans being told when and how they can move.

Governments seizing more and more of your rights every day while the squak boxes drone on why you should remain in fear.

Mental challenge: Does anyone think this power will be relinquished after this is over?

These people are just completely misinformed.

They don't know the truth.

We've been lied to our whole lives about virtually everything so we'd want this.

How quick we pissed away our liberty for a little perceived safety.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

It's not about liberty any more.

Hell, they probably stopped teaching that word.

It's about "muh feelz".

Well, my company HQ is on California so I'm 100% expecting they are going to furlough nearly everyone today.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that act would be considered a threat to public safety and would earn you an arrest and some very serious charges.

If I'm incorrect, I'm sure I'll be corrected soon enough.

Start selling PAPR's and vents.

You'll make a killing.

Oh say, how that star-spangled banner once waved,

Like other areas that have locked down, people who are non compliant can be charged with a misdemeanor. There are exclusions for traveling for medical reasons, food, some jobs, etc. Otherwise, as far as I’ve seen, it looks like law enforcement can arrest somebody but they have a lot of discretion about it and if they do decide to arrest, it’s a misdemeanor.

Yes, every four years, a benevolent, magnanimous, president is elected by the people,. This saintly figure has naught but the people's best interest in mind.

For me to think that the power is concentrated within a small group of power hungry individuals, global corporations and banks is just silly.
