    He should of blasted away months ago when he had the chance.
    lol lol lol
    Tony Bigcharles is in a spot too. His bankroll these days is only about 12K. He has to pay to live and no poker games anywhere.

    I remember when someone gave him $500 to play blackjack with professionally to troll all the other guys and that was his roll. Something like that. Tony would leave his suitcase in the woods with a 'god will smite you if you take this suitecase' type messages. I forget the details. That dude is resilient although I don't think he ever wants to go back to being straight homeless. I wonder where he'll end up hunkering down in. Mass transportation might be shutdown here shortly but I'd be surprised. It is considered essential. City should make it so people don't have to pay though.

    Shit is going crazy with the mayor of NYC basically openly begging Trump to help him and this shit has just started. Here we go.... I might go buy another round of sardines and things of that nature. Rice. lol.

    It might never strike as hard down in the South. We'll see..

    I actually misread your post and thought you were saying "apparently the experts believe they will be more...". Sarcasm retracted.

    California and Washington are apparently fighting over who gets the Navy hospital ship sent to them! Newsom getting all hysterical to try and steal the ship that was likely headed for Washington! Personally I’d rather save Washington. It’s almost like this was inflicted on America to punish primarily extremely liberal states, 8k of 14k confirmed cases between NY/CA/WSH with New Jersey next.

    A couple weeks ago you would tell me that a whole state shutting down would of been fantasy.
    Heck, Boz was in here blasting Italy that they fucked up and will pay for shutting down the country.
    It is not a stretch to think that checkpoints will be installed in the near future.

    When MC started the first thread calling it a scam I wasn't so sure.
    My first post about it even stated that it could be a scam but it looks pretty serious or real.
    I have always thought it doesn't matter if it is a scam or not.
    The problem is shutting down the whole country.

    You are trying to tell me that the food chain will not be affected but that can't be true.
    Farmers don't catch the virus?
    They already basically closed the Mexican Border and the Farmers are going to have problems with the upcoming harvest.
    Apparently they need the migrant workers to pick the food.

    The Democrats or at least MSNBC was just pushing this idea that we need to test every single individual in America.
    This is because studies have shown in Italy and Iceland that this is the only way to find out who is positive.
    Positive with no signs of infection.
    So when they know who has it they can quarantine all individuals.
    Without testing the whole population they claim they will never get a handle on it.

    My point is that all Americans will not voluntarily test.
    You can't lock down America without enforcing it.
    Perhaps I am wrong but it certainly isn't fantasy to think that checkpoints could be coming soon.
    They have already deployed the National Guard for medical purposes.
    I am sure you never thought that Nevada would close every Casino.

    You can't just let us all run around to the grocery store and hope we don't infect each other.
    If your going to lock it down you have to lock everything down, test every citizen and ration all supplies.
    That's basically Un-American though.

    Good Point!
    It is clear that it is because of SJWs, homosexuals, acceptance of 11 year old transgenders and allowing women to invade the NHL!!

    So many variables.
    Cabin Fever.
    Increase in Child/Domestic Abuse.

    Did you know that a baby is born in America every 8 seconds?
    Some people think house arrest will cause more pregnancies.
    They claim the hospitals are already near collapse.
    Running out of supplies and man/woman power.
    People are just going to have to learn how to deliver babies at home.
    These are skills we lost long ago.

    lol did you see NY?
    Cuomo was fumbling all over the place with words.
    Words are important he says and this is not shelter in place.
    However, we will force you to close or ticket you if we have to.
    I am sure Nevada will be closing very soon.

    Don't worry though... this will all be over in 14 to 30 days lol lol lol

    He basically says we need you to stay at home for a month and everything will be fine.
    After he says that he says this...

    Cuomo cautions ‘fear and panic’ could be even worse than the Coronavirus, as cases soar above 5,000 in New York!

    “The fear and panic is, if anything, worse than the virus.” was his direct quote!

    And that was yesterday before his most recent press conference.

    I know these guys always double talk but this shit is too much for me.
    You can't close everything down and tell me not to worry about it or don't stockpile lol.
    People in denial telling me that the food chain won't break down lol.
    If this goes into the summer in Vegas it won't be pretty at 115 degrees or more for months.

    Like I say, I am not worried about the virus and the virus numbers.
    What is bothering me are the drastic measures they are enforcing that is going to cripple most of us.

    For now I'm still trying to pay my bills. We'll see what happens. The most lib states are the most draconian in response to this "emergency". They love power and control.
    Take off that stupid mask you big baby.

    I saw footage of the liberal leaders all having a cocktail party celebrating their new power over having people stay at home. 1000s of them in Cali. I believe they called it the "power and control quarantine ball of 2020"

    Now you are just trolling.
    Quahaug is like Tableplay.
    These two don't get into the mire like the rest of us.
    They really don't deserve it.
    Blast away if you must but I am done trying to be civil with you.

    haha. It is ok. Not sure why that statement triggered you. Tell me the difference between California lockdown and the one in Texas. It is very minor. Schools and restaurants shutdown in TX. Oh, maybe the non-essential businesses aren't, but that isn't a huge difference. I wasn't going to put politics into it, but I couldn't help but respond.

    It has nothing to do with the right/left at this stage. If you want to think it is a commie coup of some sort then feel free.

    Just the idea that the few guys at the top go to bed at night with a smile because they're able to exert their "power" shutting things down shows a lack of understanding of how people work. Sorry.

    Most likely because liberal states of NYC/Cali will have more mass transportation, international travel, and thus likely got it sooner. Conservative governors could resist, but they know what would happen when this thing comes down full-force.

    The problem isn't the food supply.
    The problem is the Chain breaking down which it is already having problems.
    Overworked Truck Drivers with some Truck Stops Closing Down.
    The Truck Drivers are having trouble getting meals.
    Oil Prices are crippling the market.
    You may be right and we have nothing to worry about but we aren't far from total collapse.
    Having the Supply is one thing but getting it to every store is another and we are on a first come first serve basis.
    With no Limits on how much you can buy.

    This is just the beginning.
    Talk to us in a couple weeks when it really gets out of hand.
    Think about how things were on March 5th.
    Oh yeah... nothing to worry about though... just stay at home and play Nintendo!

    That is just us in America... things are far worse in other countries.

    Monet,

    I haven't read all of this thread, so maybe I'm repeating stuff, but have you read that in the two weeks before the market crash, while the Trumpster was downplaying things but panels were meeting on the hill, a bunch of people on both sides of the aisle dumped their stocks prior to the crash? LOL. Georgia senator dumped $3 million and bought disaster-servicing stock, Feinstein dumped $6 million, others dumped a million plus. I wonder how our guy in the White House did? Think he dumped some stock?

    Good to know people are looking out for us, eh?

    Stop trying to make this a Trump vs Anti-Trump thing.
    You do realize they are all crooks looking out for number 1 and their pals right??
    Democrat or Republican is a bunch of Bullshit IMO.
    Of course I can't blame them.
    It is the American way to be greedy and get as much as you can for yourself.
    The way of the world has always been the Rich getting Richer exploiting the general masses as slaves of some sort.
    That cannot be refuted!?
    When has the world not had a small majority at the top and the rest at the bottom?
    Even after something like the French Revolution or Revolutions they just resorted right back to the same garbage they were in before the revolt.
    You can't change the human condition no matter how much you try.
    Evil is in Control until God decides its Over.

    Notorious B.I.G. said it best:
    Either you're slinging crack rock, or you got a wicked jump shot.
    Nobody wants to work for it anymore.
    There's no honor in taking the after school job at Mickey D's.
    Honor's in the dollar, kid.
    So I went the white boy way of slinging crack rock.
    I became a stock broker.

    Perhaps we aren't on Full Lock Down but at this rate it is not a stretch to understand that it is a logical step in the near future.
    At the moment they are letting States make their own rules.
    You have Mayors begging the President to deploy the Military and create Nationwide Mandates.
    If they continue on the current trend they will just keep tightening the screws just like a Casino plugging up a leaky promotion.
    I could be wrong but even a Neanderthal like myself can see a couple moves ahead in this game of chess.

    A direct quote from Governor Quomo...

    Prepare for the Worst and Hope for the Best!?

    There's already shit starting Monet. An hour ago I was making a purchase and a clerk asked me how I was getting along and I told her that I was having trouble getting toilet paper but that I did buy some online from Amazon about a week ago and had no problem with delivery (overpaid by about 15% I think though). Then she told me that she was bumped into when she went shopping and said that she was in tears (I didn't press her for details) - this was totally unsolicited information from her. It seemed like she wasn't holding it together that well and I could hardly blame her given what's happening with all this shit.

    Thanks for the information!
    I overheard a lady telling a story about some sort of police stoppage that was basically unconstitutional.
    She wasn't happy about it and I didn't catch the whole story but I am pretty sure it has to get worse the more they regulate or mandate.

    I'll give you a personal story real quick.
    My son in law wanted an AR-15 but he procrastinated too long and now can't figure out how to get one.
    Of course all he has to do is go on Armslist and make it happen.
    He should be able to get something and 500 to 1000 rounds of Ammo if he really focuses on it.
    So of course I told him I would help him.
    He actually has a 9mm and that should be plenty for home defense although a shotgun would be a better choice.
    The problem is that it is too late and he is panicking like the rest of us.
    He wanted one of my assault rifles and I was like I'm not giving these away and its too much gun for you anyway.
    So I give him a SW XD 45. It holds 10 to 11 rounds and is very lightweight.
    He told me I already have a hand gun and I was like yeah but you take this and you have two handguns and I can give you 200 rounds for free with 6 clips.
    He took it but you could see he wasn't happy and feels like he needs an AR15.
    I tried to explain to him that this 45 is like a Fucking Cannon and it is easy to use, maintain and conceal.
    I told him... I'll try to get you something in the morning.
    So I wake up at like 7 am... go on the computer... emails... texting and...
    I have an AK 47 with red dot and a stock that collapses which is nice.
    It came with 2 mags and 700 rounds and I have extra mags at home.
    I call him for two hours before he finally gets in touch with me.
    I tell him I got an AK 47 for him and I can drop it off.
    He hems and haws and asks me all the wrong questions.
    Mother Fucker wants an assault weapon and I make it happen in less than 2 hours and he gives me this indecisiveness about it.
    Idiot will probably shoot himself or his family as he has no clue.
    After not talking to him for a day I told him I will get you the gun eventually, don't worry about it but don't bother me right now
