    Re: Roll call! Whats goin on?

    We just got the "stay at home" order yesterday. Started 12am this morning. Up to a $1,000 fine for breaking it. (Class C misdemeanor so I ticket just like running a stop sign. Fine probably closer to $100 as $1,000 is the max.)

    I need to mow my lawn. I have shifter bushings I can install in my car. Both cars are washed and waxed, interiors cleaned and leather conditioned and cleaned. Running out of stuff to do. I still have one motorcycle to clean and wax. The others are all done. That is only a couple hours worth of work.

    Once all my outside stuff is done I will be lost.

          Absolutely mind boggling how NOBODY is willing to talk about the OBVIOUS! We actually think these people like us and want to be our friends. Wake up America!
          China Wants to Use the Coronavirus to Take Over the World
          https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-wants-coronavirus-over-world-103022425.html
          What started as a catastrophe for China is shaping up to be a moment of strategic opportunity, a rare turning point in the flow of history. Suddenly, the protests in Hong Kong, carrying a mortal threat to political stability in the mainland, became a physical impossibility. More important, the pandemic set in motion a global competition, to contain the virus, for which China and the Chinese Communist Party seem uniquely prepared.As the virus spread to the whole world, it became apparent that Western societies — Beijing’s true rivals — did not have the ability to quickly organize every citizen around a single goal. As opposed to China, which remains to a large extent a revolutionary society, their political systems were built for normal times. Chinese society is a mobilized army, which can quickly drop everything else and march in one direction.Mao once said, “Everything under heaven is in utter chaos, the situation is excellent.” And so it seems at present, as seen from Beijing. Chinese diplomats stationed all over the world spend their time raising the stakes to a dangerous level. Following instructions from the very top, they have taken to the media to issue a challenge to America, to point out its failure, and to compare the chaos in American cities and hospitals with what they see as a singular success in stopping the epidemic in China.Several commentators have suggested that China may be winning the coronavirus battle by stepping forward in providing medical help to affected countries, mostly in Europe, at a time when the United States is consumed with its own difficulties. This misses the point.The cases have been multiplying where the medical equipment provided by Chinese companies and even the Chinese state turned out to be faulty, provoking justified ire in, for example, Spain, the Netherlands, and Turkey. Moreover, medical help is a normal occurrence in a crisis. China has done nothing different, except perhaps in the clumsy way it publicizes those efforts.Forget about “mask diplomacy.” It is no more than a distraction. There are other ways for China to use the coronavirus pandemic to upturn the existing global order. I see three main levers.The first one is the direct comparison between the situation in China and elsewhere. The numbers of cases and fatalities provided by Chinese authorities almost certainly misrepresent the real figures by more than an order of magnitude, but the fact remains that a semblance of normalcy was achieved in a small period of time. If the United States fails to do the same, its prestige will suffer a severe blow. People all over the world will quickly change their perceptions about relative power and capacity.The second lever resides with industrial value chains. Last month General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler closed all their automotive production plants across the United States and Canada. Other sectors have followed. In the meantime, China contained the worst of the pandemic to one province, allowing economic activity to quickly resume elsewhere. The most recent data show renewed activity in the flow of goods across the country, as well as at ports worldwide that do business with China. If the freeze in Europe and America continues for much longer, Chinese companies will be able to dramatically expand market share and replace Western-led value chains. Just yesterday Chinese authorities announced that manufacturing activity expanded in March, defying expectations of a contraction. In February the official Purchasing Managers’ Index hit a record low of 35.7. It bounced back to 52.0 in March. Prepare for a worldwide wave of Chinese acquisitions at knockdown prices.Finally, in a more extreme scenario, important countries could experience the kind of economic shock that leads to widespread social and political collapse. At that point, China would have a unique opportunity to step in, provide aid, and refashion these countries in its image. It would look like a repeat of the Marshall Plan and the beginning of the American world order after the ravages of World War II. Indonesia, South Asia, and even Russia might be of special interest in such a scenario.We knew that a generalized race or competition between alternative geopolitical models had started, but it was never clear what the background for such a competition would be. If the clash took place within the existing global trade and financial system, which was of course built according to Western rules and principles, the United States was confident the battle could be decisively won. But what if it took place on neutral ground? What if it took place in a kind of neutral landscape, a state of nature with few or no rules, against a chaotic and quickly evolving background? The outcome would become considerably more uncertain.To put it more bluntly: There was always an argument that the existing world order cannot change because only a momentous war has done that in the past and world wars have become impossible. But in pandemics — and soon in climate change — we may have found two functional equivalents of war.

            I bought another motorcycle yesterday. Just something to work on and maybe flip it. I got it for a good deal.

              Well I haven’t worked but once in two weeks so I’m stressed out. Had to resort to selling some of my stash in order to pay for things [emoji3525]. But on a positive note I do get to stay home and spend time and play with my new Great Dane puppy [emoji190]. He’s almost 5 months old now as I’ve had him for 4 weeks and he’s grown probably 2” and put on 10lbs. He’s gonna be a tall boy.

                      Anyone see this movie from 2011 called "Contagion"? Holy crap, I just saw the trailer and it is bizarre how much that movie looks exactly like what we are all going through. This is like a movie.
                      I went to Home Depot and stood in a line. Reminded me of the days when I would stand in line outside a bar, waiting for one person to leave so I could go in. lol
                      How much longer can we take of this? Im afraid this is going to erupt in violence. People are pissed off and feeling trapped. If people get pissed off enough at the government, who knows wtf is going to happen. How crazy are people going to be in 2 weeks? A month? holy shit

                        I was at the supermarket the other day waiting in this long six foot apart line, it was kinda surreal because everyone was in masks and latex gloves, but what really struck me was the fact that it was dead silent in the whole building, not a whisper and no music over the speakers.

                          I'm going to give it till the first of June, then I'm packing it up and headed for the Mountains "Red Dawn" style. Screw this sad depressive bulls#it, I did enough lockdown time in my life already ! I really don't feel like everyone is just going to stay "sheltered in" till the whole world dies off. I agree, I think people are going to get pretty uptight soon enough. So we hole up inside all year till fall when we get hit again with this ? Not going to happen. I'm telling ya someone is going to be held accountable for this.

No beans, bread, most of the meat is only high end, she will not buy (I end up buying it for her and my dad). People are cleaning out the shelves and in some cases I understand (people with lots of kids for example).

                            Weird not working and traveling. So boring sitting at home......so I stated to look at my "stuff" I collected through the years. Also cleaning the whole house and yard passing the time. Hope to God this is over in a week or 2.
                            I like all that too ! Funny all of a sudden everyone has a hankering for beans and s#it right ? Glad they left me all the black beans and brown rice, not my favorite but better nutrition content. But ya know what ? All those selfish stingy assholes are still gonna have that stuff molding in their garage and probably never even touch it while someone goes hungry.
