Okay, if this is real, this is worse than I was expecting.

@eestileib Given how shitty _customers_ got after COVID, they're likely anticipating a similar shitty reaction and are putting on the "we're all in this together" routine.
After all, being good and nice in a memo isn't the same as actually being good and/or nice.
Mmmhmm. "Here are the triage rules, boy it's gonna suck enforcing them"

Let’s be honest.
Those red-neck states would just got burst without the money from states like California.But yes they are terrible
@Tijgertje1987 @moira
Lots of marginalized people live in "red-neck states" including a very large percentage of the Black population of this country. Must be fucking nice for you to imagine the world is split into good & bad areas, but here in the real world, it doesn't work that way. -
@Tijgertje1987 Sure. And similarly, between a fascist united states, and a hypothetical broken-up united states, I will pick the latter _every time_.
I'd just prefer not to have to make that choice.
@moira @Tijgertje1987 There's a reason they are suppressing the Black vote in the former Confederate states: if every citizen were allowed to vote, Democrats would win overwhelmingly. And don't fool yourself into thinking there are racist and non-racist states. A Black friend has said he feels much safer against racism in the deep South, where there are lots of Black people who have his back, than he does here in the Pacific Northwest, where the racists aren't at all nervous about being hurt themselves.
I have fantasies about seceding, too, but what we really need to do is hang every Nazi and build giant memorials, visible for miles, from their bones.

That is something you yanks must fix yourself!The rest of the world is fed up with the reckless behaviour of the USA and their tendency to wreck the world economy every 10~15 years.
And now nearly caused World War III by threatening not 1 but 2 NATO countries.
When the rest of NATO is prepared to take arms up against you in defence you really fucked up as a country -
