Stimulus package, how you spendin yours?

[Gingerbeard]

BR2K I strips ma' wimmen, soak 'em down with Walmart brand Lysol, make 'em gargle a cup, and burn their clothes. Then they come inside. They smell like urinals in men's public restrooms but are 99.9% germ free. The social distance is a little harder to work with.

Hm, Puritan streak in ya, huh? Napoleon used to write his gal, when a couple months away "Don't wash".

[Gingerbeard]

I don't know Farmall W brand L is some nasty shit. If you've ever been to the middle east or some parts of Europe, they call that natural. Maybe I should get some W brand Schick razors so she can shave. Spray first for razor lube.

Hey, wimmenfolk! Come, chime in! Would you rather smell like nature intended or W brand L and use it to lube your razor to shave? If you don't shave, we have our answer. We also know you burned your bra in the late '60's because you didn't have a draft card. Which was more detrimental to the environment, burning all those plastics and wimmen underthings. Black smoke is from a petroleum based fire. How long have you been carrying that carbon footprint shame?

[Farmall]

Yeah.... BUT, back in the early 70's in Vermont, I knew a few " natural" woman...my oh my.... I prefer the other if you get my drift

[Gingerbeard]

I loved going to Phish shows. Lots of hippy chicks. gingerbeard dig petite, glasses nerdy, feminized hippy chicks who aren't on ecstasy.

[Gingerbeard]

I sprayed my shoes and insoles with the stuff BR2K I had to leave them on the balcony to air out for four days before I could wear them or I would smell like I walked in a urinal.

What eeew… Farmall I'm taking all the precautions. C-19 is a virus. As far as I know, you can't kill a virus. Recent days sun and wind have given me a cold sore so I keep oral contact to spitting. If I spray where I spit, it should help keep virus's from getting in the body. Always spitting on the delivery lady, from 6' away. She doesn't spit back because that's gross.

[SoOrbudgal]

What you got is a virus Gingerbeard it's call herpies keep it clean.

[Gingerbeard]

Whack with the back o' me hand! Only we're allowed to use that word.

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL you nutbird LOL

[Gingerbeard]

Whack, again. Use your words.

I might be going somewhere with whacking people with the back o' me hand. Somewhere along my love of fine shirts.

Good article Obi-Wan.
Take it however it has to be taken. It's reality. The more the government doles out now, the more they're going to have to make up, later. If people want to spend shitloads of money to help whatever, let's go get them Happy Meals. It takes the government how much time and bickering before settling? How long does it take a rich person to say, 'Do it now!'? No contract bidding. Ample real estate. No fundraising. Meeting future needs before they are needed.
JP Morgan bailed out the US in 1893. Give that man whatever tax write offs he wants!

Gingerbeard Once I was at either phish concert or The Greatful dead. Well my brother went to visit with a friend to get some smoke. Well as he was digging for the best buds the cops showed. He got arrested for a little over 1000 grams and none of it was his yet. He hadnt even paid yet. Lol

Ralph Nader had an opposing viewpoint. The one time I think he was wrong. https://www.amazon.com/Only-Super-Ri.../dp/158322923X

Not I said the duck! Still waiting for my direct deposit. For those of you waiting for a check it will probably be months. The process was even slowed down more by T-Rump requesting that his name adorn the memo section of the check according to another official. Another after thought by T-Rump? How can I benefit by this? Is he trying to buy your vote with this minimum wage payment?


Trump’s name will be printed on stimulus checks and he announced a 200-member advisory panel.

At the president suggestion, his name will appear on the economic stimulus checks that will be mailed to millions of Americans beginning next month, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday. Adding Mr. Trump’s name is a break from protocol, and it will appear on the “memo” section of the check because Mr. Trump is not legally authorized to sign such disbursements.
A Treasury official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said adding the president’s name would not delay the disbursements, set to begin the week of May 4 for up to 20 weeks. Some Americans who are set to receive the stimulus funds through direct deposit will not even see the checks.

The folks that need it most may not get anything, or months too late.

Here’s what it’s like when distancing is not an option on a Detroit bus.

A bus stop in Detroit last week. The city has become a national hot spot, with more than 7,000 infections and more than 400 deaths.Credit...Emily Rose Bennett for The New York Times

Paris Banks sprayed the seat with Lysol before sliding into the last row on the right. Rochell Brown put out her cigarette, tucked herself behind the steering wheel and slapped the doors shut.
It was 8:37 a.m., and the No. 17 bus began chugging westward across Detroit.
On stepped the fast-food worker who makes chicken shawarma that’s delivered to doorsteps, the janitor who cleans grocery stores, the warehouse worker pulling together Amazon orders.
By 9:15, every available row on the bus was occupied. Strangers sat shoulder-to-shoulder. The city might be spread across 139 square miles, but one morning last week, there was no way to social distance aboard this 40-foot-long New Flyer bus. Passengers were anxious and annoyed. Resigned, too.
Detroit has become a national hot spot, with more than 7,000 infections and more than 400 deaths. One reason for the rapid spread, experts say, is that the city has a large working-class population that does not have the luxury of living in isolation. Their jobs cannot be performed from a laptop in a living room. They do not have vehicles to safely get them to the grocery store.
And so they end up on a bus. Just like the No. 17 — a reluctant yet essential gathering place, and also a potential accelerant for a pandemic that has engulfed Detroit. It is a rolling symbol of how the virus is affecting Americans in disparate ways, often based on class and wealth.

Just imagine yourself being trapped with no hope of escape from one of these infected bastions of urban decay. Our petit Bourgeois arses are safe from exposure to those horrors. Although I must take my wife into a severely infected metropolitan area for her monthly medical procedure tomorrow. Besides the high rate of infection in Denver snow is forecast for tonight, and tomorrow. Murphy's law at maximum warp factor!

[Rwise]

Local dispensaries report sales are up since the money stated hitting the banks! One said they are looking at their best week since they opened. (and have a 25% off sale) We know where some Okies are spending theirs! LOL

[Farmall]

For the last 3 weeks I get emails from them that say...NO MORE PATIENTS TODAY!
And that’s at 11;30am

They also had an old farts day...60 or older and the rest of the week is even or odd medical card numbers. I’d say they’re not hurting

[JDU]

Don't quote me on the numbers I'm goin on a stoned memory but they said weed sales have gone up 40 something % & alcohol 25% here in Oregon since shelter at home. 🤪 I'm thinkin Oregonians are on the same page

[Retodd]

This was just part of mine. Paid off my eBay and Amazon cards, bought another $200 in tools I needed, some in my safe, and exchanged my O2 bottle for my cutting torch.
