tfw getting downvoted in your local coronavirus subreddit because you reminded the libs that biden's people thought this was a bad idea when it would have been more impactful
And they still don't even send everyone masks yet lmao
:doomer:
4 per address.
Per address.
Multi family households? Multi-generational families? Young people and migrants living 3 to a room to save on rent? Homeless folks without a address?
Who does this policy really benefit? The Biden administration continues their genocidal policies.
A friend of mine lives in an apartment and it seems that they coded the complex as one address so one family that lives there can get it.
Yeah, it's incredibly common. Which is why almost everything else goes by household, which doesn't include roommates or other people living on the same property.
For "some" reason they went with residential address here, which coincidentally makes it so people with multiple properties can get multiple orders and people who have cheaper living arrangements are SOL.
Edit: this also makes it so if you need a test, and someone on the property you live on ordered them before you. You will now have to go see them and ask for one of the tests and possibly give them the virus lol.
It's not a big leap to think that's an intended consequence lol.
What do you mean income tax owed? Someone at this address already paid!
I honestly can't think of why it would be worded this way except to keep poors from getting them.
Since they're available, they get to say they tried to help or something, while in reality they just put a big middle finger up to a huge chunk of the population.
This administration actively wants poors to be in danger lol. It's past callousness, this shit is straight up hostile
someone making 80k a year is going to design a pretty American flag design with working class silhouettes on the box the tests come in.
Who does this policy really benefit?
I know when the kits actually arrive. If my stockpile of kits goes from zero to four, its an improvement. But I'm curious to see if he even gets them out in a timely manner, or if this is something that'll show up on my doorstep some time in mid-March.
Only 4 tests, shipping in two weeks, two fucking years too late. Can’t you get a pack of 7 tests per day in :ukkk: ?
yeah lol, 7 free lateral flows a day (if they're in stock) and free pcr if you get symptoms/are exposed. Though we've had a lil burst of consent manufacturing already for getting rid of that scheme, so it's probably not sticking around for long
why the fuck isn't your government sending them? for free?
i had to get tested last week, ordered on monday, came through my door on tuesday, sent back same day, all for free
This is FAR too little too late, but it's a very small start to doing the right thing
Thank you for the heads up!
Probably, like 45 mins ago it wasn't taking my zip code and then it worked
Put the apt number on line 1 instead of line 2 and it will pass
Edit: As @Dingdangdog says, this probably only works for properties registered as multiple residences. So, not houses
Lol I live in a split occupancy house, basically a big house with 4 apartments, but we share an "address" technically. Divided into a, b, c, and d
My elderly downstairs neighbor ordered hers, and now it won't let anyone in the house order any.
Tried with and without the apartment number both in the field and at the end of the address.
Edit: yeah it specifically says one order per residential address. Unless they change that stipulation anyone that doesn't have an entire place to themselves is kinda fucked
lmfao same we have like 20 people living in one five-plex. what a fucking shitshow. "how many households could possibly be in one building? one, right?" :hillary-apartment:
Don't worry, people with multiple single-family homes will be able to get a bunch!
LMFAO I didn't even think about that. It's fully within the rules too. It just says per residential address. What the fuck hahaha
Straight hostility towards poors while getting to turn around and pat themselves on the back for "doing something", nevermind it's less than even the barest minimum.
Exactly zero main stream politicians or outlets will challenge this.
They have to have something to point to as a criticism though. Now they can talk about inefficiency because 1 person is getting 4 tests while 20 people have to share 4 tests. This lets them pretend they're helping but also giving them room to talk about how a business could do it better.
It's not an irrational outcome of an otherwise rational system. It's a rational outcome of an irrational system. There's a 0% chance that this problem wasn't accounted for. Which means they know it and there's a reason they're doing it.
It's an all around win for neolib ghouls then. They get to pretend like they actually did something, make some sort of bullshit point about free markets like you said, and it puts the poors at risk.
Win win win for these totally not fascists.
They're going to get midtermed so fucking hard if this is all they got lmao
ah, great - thanks for confirming what I assumed. Hope my roommates don't try to order any LOL
Gotta love :amerikkka:
I don't even have separate units in my case, just rent a 3br house with two other people so I guess my :biden-harbinger: plan is to just...ration these 4 out on a 'as needed' basis?? lol
They just didn't factor people in with roommates apparently, since they aren't part of your household.
This shit is so stupid
Include the apt number on line 1 instead of line 2 and it will pass
Edit: As @Dingdangdog says, this probably only works for properties registered as multiple residences. So, not houses
I have done this and it does not. It probably depends on how the property is registered.
Hmm, I did it and it did. Now I wonder I was somehow the first to submit it in my whole complex.
Probably not, I think it's more an issue with places like mine that are literally just houses that are divided into apartments versus a whole complex which has its own USPS designations going on
Try making your last name “smith at 32 main st” and using a clearly wrong po (PO Box 42069) for the street. The postal workers will probably sort it out.
Still can't get mask? Was reading an article on r/covid about China quarantining a building to stop the spread and the comments were as doomer as ours. Like how we talk about climate change, but about a building lockdown where the people inside were given food masks healthcare lol, the horror
Hey Jack, if you can't afford a test just take one from one your roommates who ordered theirs first. If they give you shit, just shoot em in the leg.
Not even per person, per residential address. It's less than useless for anyone that doesn't have an entire place to themselves
:yes-chad:
But seriously it's such an easy thing to do, minimum effort, and they still haven't done it
what should we send ponies and birthday cakes, how about free healthcare next?
This is why Bernie was proposing using the USPS to distribute very low interest payday loans.
Not sure. They asked that I send it back no later than 5 days after receiving it.
I'm gonna share with you a pro gamer move. Order them for your chud neighbors. :big-cool:
