Agreed. I'm actually quite impressed at how it's been handled here in Australia. The politicians at first weren't starring, but since then, when the threat got real, they stepped up, left off with the bullshit and ran the show in a fashion that had the population react well and approve of what they were putting place. Now that we've dropped the rate of infection to one of the lowest levels in the world, they're starting up with their political silliness again. It was good when it lasted. We were also the first nation to start the toilet paper panic buying - still unsure why, maybe some stupid internet rumours of China buying it all up or something - but it spread around the world from there. So we weren't all stars, but for the most part, it's been taken seriously, there's been a bunch of bailouts for unemployed, casual workers, renters and small businesses and we'll be paying for that in taxes down the road. But so be it and I've not read or heard of anyone whinging about it but some ultra-fringe conservative groups that get laughed at by all ends of the spectrum here.

It was good when it lasted Kinda reminds me of adolescent when they are trying to draw attention to themselves - in a way... but as an adult it kinda comes off more as sociopathic behavior, which solidifies my earlier statement. Here in my city the officials pretty much started off the same way as yours, but I quickly noticed the more serious the global situation was becoming, the more I noticed officials are trying all types of random things that really do not make any sense, it was more pandemic for them than us. Kinda reminds me of "Up In Smoke" - the scene where Chong accidentally gives Cheech the acid and Cheech starts flipping out... But I think you're right, they are enjoying the attention, the authority, and they know it won't be cute for much longer. In my city I heard our County Judge has order for everyone to wear a mask, will get ticketed if not while in public. Still gotta confirm that. Honestly, I really do not think anyone knows how to handle this, and until a vaccine is ready, masks are pretty much the only thing that has become the most rational thing we have thus far to fend off the virus.

One Man Banned Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Some more PMA in hurr. Noticed a drop in junk mail. Gas is cheap af and traffic's light. Made some more highway improvements at night and once during the daytime. Did some Covid19 pieces elsewhere. Feel the tide has changed slightly toward consumers whereby businesses now actually need and appreciate my business. There's no Covid19 in the deep woods and mountain tops, going to disappear there soon for a short bit. Someone sent me this. I posted it in Metal Heads where it sadly did not get the attention it deserves. Good for positivity IMO and this thread needs it once in a while. Any of us would be lucky to have this man's heart/determination, as well as this man's friends. Much respect. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Do you think they say stuff like this deliberately, that they really mean it? Or are they agenda setting, as in getting people to talk about what they prefer them to discuss instead of issues that may harm their interests? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I love how they do their best to give the company an image of a person, that knows how you feel because 'we're all in this together'. I mean, it's so fucking cliche, as that clip illustrates. Either the advertising industry is an old and stale circle jerk or they've got their hustle so refined that they know what works and everyone homes in on that mode of messaging, every-fucking-time.
