Bloomberg's spending is just unfathomable. The billionaire spent a bit under $467 million in February alone, with $31.7 million worth of debt that's more-or-less just an accounting issue for him (filing ). His spending, excluding the debt, for the entirety of the campaign was $876 million — and now he's not going through with his plans for his super PAC.


Had a friend working for him. Friend HATES him. And now even moreso that he dumped everyone he made promises too. Turns out the self absorbed billionaire's run for president was in fact all about himself.


Bloomberg pulled the discussion to the right and eliminated Sanders so he and his rich friends can keep more of their money. Mission accomplished.

So how long are we willing to shut everything down? Two more weeks? A month? Two months? At some point we will only be saving people so that they can return to normal healthy shit poor miserable lives

Amazing Fauci interview

Too many things to quote, like almost every line. Can't do that, so have a read.

Not sure how you can answer that until adequate testing is in place. Everyone is guessing at this point.

Most places have really just started getting serious about shutting things down in the past couple of days. So you need at minimum need to go two weeks from now before talking about reassessing. And there's going to need to be a lot of other stuff that comes online before taking the parking brake off makes sense, notably real testing. The President speculating otherwise because he's a child who is unable to ever think beyond immediate gratification is unhelpful and counterproductive.

Just to be clear, this is for COVID economic relief and not his plan if he were president.

This feels like it could end up as multiple Biden campaign ads.

as a covid response, seems whatever

as a presidential plan for the future its awful. what will happen is it will get passed in year 2. then year 4 or 8 comes along and the next person is like "i'm not going to try to do reform on that since it was already reformed so recently." you won't see anything meaningful in student loan reform come up till the 2nd president later. so anywhere from 8 to 16 years.

The absolute marginalization/hand waving away of the black vote is astounding. It was the DNC, not a huge portion of the democratic electorate that did it!!
