The Chat Thread (Read OP)

Despite these examples, I think the curve in Germany is about to stabilize, largely because people have been isolated from each other for the last two weeks. I'm getting tired of this virus and the economic effects. There are so many people whose livelihood is in danger. I think soon we will reach a point where people will begin to ask, "at what cost?" I'm ready to hear about an exit strategy.

In most civilized countries, rents are being levied and interest-free loans are being made for people who need them (among other measures). "the economy" can go herself, I want to survive with my relatives, thank you.

[Aexodus]

The economy is also neededfor people's survival you know.

[makanyane]

Food and shelter is needed for people's survival... the economy is the way we've developed of spreading that around.

[mishkin]

The economy is also neededfor people's survival you know.

The economy* is not good for if you're dead, you know. But hey, if you are willing to save "the economy" at the cost of your own life (and not puting others' lives at risk), go ahead hero.

* Governments have been squandering our money in vain since they exist. Governments have resources to help citizens and small and medium-sized businesses. In 2007 they helped the big banks with hundreds millions of euros, remember it. It seems that some people are brainwashed by the four s who defend the big businessmen can not see their profits reduced.

I'm a total statist but the obsession with the economy is disturbing. If you really need it go start your own economy and trade your goods. Grow some tomatoes in your yard or something. So long as USA can keep printing money they can provide all of the essentials like medicines etc without needing a strong economy.

Let them eat cake.

[Akar]

I, for once, agree with Diamat on this issue.

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

That is because you are complacent and will probably be the next victim of Madame la Guillotine.

[Akar]

She sounds like quite the seductress.

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

She doesn't so much give head as much as she takes heads.

[King Athelstan]

Well I do love giving

[Akar]

She is a notoriously generous lover.

You got the Cookid-20 infection from me. There is no cure. You shall henceforth be doomed to lash out at people around you, and die alone. Buy plenty of salt if you are still able to shop. You will need it all.

Let them eat cake.

Last time I baked cake without special ingredients before the quarantine was years ago, very drunk at 5AM directly after coming home from a party.

Now with the, quarantine hardly a day goes by without me or people around me baking cake. Friday might well have been peak cake with 2 cakes baked on a day in my apartment, whereas peak diabetes is yet to come.

That is because you are complacent and will probably be the next victim of Madame la Guillotine.

I aim to become Robespierre with Akar as my Danton as we institute our reign of terror over the TWC.

[Akar]

The king is dead. Long live the king.

[Diamat]

Isn't the eating of cakes like race-based genocide to a cookie?

[Akar]

God I hope so.

[Gigantus]

Isn't the eating of cakes like race-based genocide to a cookie?

No need to ask if you know that there are Nuremberg cookies, floury reminders of the trials a long time ago. Also known as 'Lebkuchen' which freely translated means 'cake of life'

[Diamat]

Lebkuchen are the Jews or the Nazis of the flour world? I need to understand this.

[Akar]

This is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.
