I keep an old 22LR around for when the grabbers come knocking.
dionysus_
I just installed an alarm system today
dionysus_
nothing fancy, the simplisafe one
infspire
dionysus_: Do you know why we've shut down many businesses?

infspire, to cripple the US economy?
infspire
Incorrect.
infspire
It looks like you live in Wisconsin, yes?

infspire
We can look at this resource.
dionysus_
Oh yes flatten the curve
infspire
With limited action, there are a predicted 117k deaths in Wisconsin in the next three months.
infspire
With three months of shelter-in-place, however, the prediction is 2k deaths.
infspire
That is a difference of 115k deaths.
infspire
Do you understand now?
dionysus_
It sounds like climate change alarmism.
infspire
To put this in perspective, 115k / 3k = 38.3 9/11s. In Wisconsin alone.
infspire
So, if we were to do what Trump, yourself, and much of the right-wing ecosystem is suggesting, just in your home state, there would be 38.3 9/11s.
infspire
Now, that seems pretty psychotic, right?
infspire
Remember, only about 1.8% of Americans live in Wisconsin.
infspire
So, we can multiple those numbers, roughly, to get an estimated unnecessary dead in the USA in the next three months if we did nothing.
dionysus_
you remember way back when the socialist assholes would show us a chart of the food supply being linear and the population growth being exponential and FUCKING DOOMSDAY after the two lines cross?
infspire
We get 6.48 million people.
infspire
Now, how many Americans died in WW2?
infspire
About 400k.
infspire
So, that would be 16.2 WW2s in the next three months.
infspire
That is what you, Trump, and much of the right-wing media ecosystem is advocating.
dionysus_
There's an awful lot of assumption and no science behind these predictions.
infspire
So, I guess, the question is, Why do you hate American so much you want to kill it?
infspire
dionysus_: I put you on ignore for 12 months.
infspire
I couldn't possibly engage a person who wants to kill the United States, such as yourself.
infspire
I accept your self-identifying as a deep enemy of the United States.
