    We never had a first lockdown. GameStop was considered an "essential business" ffs.

      :biden-troll: folks…you’ve got to get your booster. I got boosted. Dr Fonzi tells me to do it; I do it, ok. The United States does not have time for those who deny the science. Merry Christmas and Happy The Troops everyone

    "Get vaccinated. We're gonna give a shit ton of money to pharma companies to make sure you do.

    Get tested! We're gonna give a shit ton of money to companies that make the tests to make sure you do.

    Don't forget to start paying your student loans again on Monday."

    On one hand covid lockdowns suck and have unintended consequences. For example my younger brother is getting locked out of playing D1 baseball by nature of several classes worth of players getting free redshirt years to compensate for seasons getting cancelled for covid. On the other hand, there’s like a ducking million people dead holy shit how could you compare the two just shut down the fucking country and copy China’s success wtf. Nothing offsets that just do it it’s the easy and right choice

        He’s just gone to a lower division with the hope of transferring in eventually. That way he can play even if it’s at a lower skill level rather than sitting the bench and waiting his turn if he signed on one of the super deep D1 teams

    Announcing a lockdown would be on the accelerationist bingo

      it would be sooo fucking funny dude.

      Some of the headlines we've read in the past 1-2 years have been :chefs-kiss:, satirical swan songs of a dying society.

      Dunno if you've heard about Kyrie Irving, one of the most batshit crazy players in the NBA who is a big proponent of flat earth theory and, of course, anti-vax. He refused to get the vax so the Brooklyn Nets banned him (mostly because of public pressure) from playing the season.

      Well, the Nets, have like 8 players in the COVID protocol, so they announced yesterday, like the capitalist cowards they are, that they were bringing Kyrie Irving back.

      They just released a statement saying Kyrie irving has entered COVID protocol lmaoooooooooo.

      The laffs are literally killing me, pls Xi carpet bomb me.

    My blue state governor already said reasturants are staying open. They won't do anything . Hell half the left will call it authoritarian to do anything at this point. Forcing the elderly and immunocompromised out of any sort of social, public, and economic life under penalty of death? Oh that's freedom baby

    We knew omicron was going to cause these problems a few weeks ago. Glad he's finally being briefed on the situation when it's too late.

      That's probably a good thing tbh. At this point if FEMA showed up with a vaccines they'd immediately get ventilated by some CHUD with an AR-15.

    I doubt he would announce lockdowns just when the Fed announced increasing interest rates again. They would keep interest where it is if they felt comicron was a huge deal. Biden coming out the very next week and saying lockdowns would be very funny and totally fuck up the market but I don't think it will happen. He's going to say omicron is hitting certain states hard, that everyone needs to get their booster/vax and that everything is fine. Basically he's going to announce there's nothing really to announce just be careful.
