It has the potential to get really crazy. In the USA 1/3 or more of families rent. 1/3 or more of Americans just lost their jobs. (nearing 100,000,000) so far. 1 hundred million. And many more who's hours got cut drastically.
Though there are eviction freezes in place in many states already. There are so many landlords who will evict anyway.
Yesterday, one of the local grocery stores I was at I got to talking to the manager and he was saying that many people are really afraid there will be ciaos and violence come rent time.
Two weeks ago when the state announced an eviction freeze the local big wig realtors office that owns the majority of rentals here sent out a letter and post it online to all their tenants saying that they will evict even if you have lost your job. There was such immediate public blow back that they retracted it the next day.(Dispite the fact the first couple round of bailouts will go first to them since they are an LLC.)
Many private home owners with rentals have said they will not honor the states no evict temporary law.
The court house is near closed anyway and could not handle a mass evict anyway. So on just the renting front that will be, scary, quite frankly.
I know no one wants to think about stuff like that, I certainly don't want to inject fear or panic, but its things people are talking about more and more as April nears.
We wont really know for sure until nearing mid April.

Cabin fever? I have that now and I was just coming out of my shell for the first time in years. Go figure.
I'm sure many have cabin fever right now.
What is sucking for me is that I have a friend that I started to hang out with. He and his wife are total social butterflies he hates being stuck in (I don't blame him). I happened to be in the same vicinity of someone telling him to stop visiting with every Tom, Dick and Harry and showing up to peoples houses as if nothing in the world is going on. It hurt his feeling pretty bad. But he really needed to hear it. Sucks for me cause he'd become my romping bud to go up into the mountains,rivers beaches ect, and find stuff to make or just explore.
ok, i don't know if madness has set in, but this seems awesome.. seriously, you need this in your life.
you probably just don't know it yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij4t9cqa0um.
Bump.... I totally needed "Guy on a Buffalo" today. Just sayin
petra, would you check and see if atlantis has the app video?.
hi arnold:.
yes, he has the "choose your apps wisely" video and once you see it you will never forget it.
So let me get this straight.........' Choose your apps wisely.'
I don't think this post was/is about Zoom specifically, but I found lots of things about Religions are turning to streaming and zoom is in the forefront. (sorry if I'm commenting this in the wrong spot)(probably could be its own post)idk
Yet they are using Zoom? The same platform many many "Worldly" Religions are using right now?
This might be a good thing to point out to any jws that think the GB (Chose wisely). lol

Interesting....
The Greater Northwest Area is helping by offering access to a Zoom Business account “at a heavily subsidized rate of $50” to local churches in the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest conferences.
“We hope that Zoom will serve as a helpful tool for local churches to continue to meet in groups large and small, in worship and other forms of community,” said the Rev. David Valera, the Pacific Northwest’s executive director of connectional ministries.

There are many more articles on it.
I'm so glad the GB decided to finally blatantly join the ranks of FALSE religion! Again!
who needs a press secretary when the president details what is happening every day to keep us informed?
i think he’s doing a very good job considering what is happening in the usa and the world..
Uzzah-a good leader edifies his experts. He has no background to handle this kind of situation and should be deferring to those with experience, expertise and knowledge while sending out supportive messaging echoing his experts.
If you actually listen to Trump outside of liberal media while he is not fending off dozens and dozens of reporters , he actually does give due credit where credit is due. He has said many times that the scientific experts know way more than he does. He constantly congratulates, and gives accolades to those very people. That gets drowned out by all the left media.
He was elected as a President not a scientist and has said as much.
Also to bring up past Presidents in comparison to how he's handling COVID-19 is a moot point. No one knows how any of them would have handled a global shutdown.
As far as Fauci is concerned, Fauci himself has said in interviews that the media is trying to pit the president against him when no such thing is occurring. On that note I suppose when Fauci is relieved of his duty people will say Trump fired him because (insert fake sensationalist liberal narrative) here.
I think it pretty dang benevolent of him to have just signed the bill the Democrats held up knowing it still gives the Dems what they wanted for the sake of moving the country forward.
former united kingdom prime minister gordon brown calls for "creating a form of global government....to tackle the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus".. isn't that crazy?
that's a dangerous idea.
what do you guys think?.
Cofty- are your fingers suddenly broken? Type it in your browser dude. I mean only 10 damn pages came up on the exact thing when I did it.

If humans want to ever truly explore and THRIVE in space and on other planets, a global government will be necessary at some point.
As far as this virus, idk.
And as unpopular as this may be (especially to UK and North American way of thinking) We already are "global". Other wise we wouldn't outsource things to other countries and would have just kept our factories , farming, ect in our own countries.
In my opinion the race governments are in right now is to see who can rise to the top of this "global society".
We aren't there yet. But considering the governments have done a good job at effectively keeping people in place right now, I say its a hell of a start. And a heck of a good way to see where all the 'holes' are.
Probably wont happen in my lifetime, but its coming.

even though i am partially in the it area of business, i don't understand here how people are saying that someone can control a camera through zoom.
so if i am sitting with a shirt and tie, someone on the other end can can control the camera and see that i am naked from the waist down and periodically have an itch?
or quickly move to the side and have a beer?.
As far using zoom in the context of the jws, just tape over your camera while using.
Here are some , but not all of the massive security flaws with zoom. A "regular non tech person" may not be able to "hack your camera" but a fairly novice "hacker could" especially after a quick research and implementation of a few tools on the internet readily available for the common Joe. Since I guarantee the wtbs has a top notch IT department , I would air on the side of caution. Caution not paranoia.
I said this in 2009 about web cameras, and I was vilified for it by the psychiatric facility that I got therapy from. One month later, they all had tape on their cameras, because it hit the news. Along with a huge apology letter to me. I almost sued the shit out of them. The only reason, ONLY, reason was because so many relied on their services. My attorney was angry I didn't press forward. Anyway, that was a little different but the premise is the same.
Another one of many articles on it.
