And the gap between never gonna happen and can't wait is huge, I'm convinced Twitter wants to now and planning how to navigate it as we speak.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I would love if social media got banned. Except for ES, obviously, which I consider to be an essential wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they would choose their social media addiction over their lord? They'll probably retweet whatever he posts outside Twitter to make up for it to spite Twitter, then it's up to Twitter if they really want to play whack-a-mole with 1st Amendment implications. It is their platform, so they should be allowed to do that on the pretense of why they put the fact-check in Trump. It's the opposite approach of Facebook, and just as dangerous if they go too far. It's sooooo easy to ban for folks for they they ban Trump if they ban Trump, but so hard to control the narrative they aren't being targeted when they are to meet their own fact-checking policy. It's the right thing to do, it'll work itself out the way it needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because hes doing it for folks in a capacity many will never obtain. Trump is a giant F U sent by half the country in person form to run the executive branch and say F U as loud as possible for them. This isn't about governing for some of the folks that will never change their mind on this guy. They were here before him, don't want to lose him, and will be here after he gone.

It’s possible but honestly I don’t see the economy rebounding like they think and also; if there’s another wave in October/November that will put a damper on the economy. Trump is still a 50-50 bet to get re-elected regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't of lost every job we got since the last recession in the first place if Trump took this seriously. And these are best case scenarios that we should hope for, but won't happen. How many new restaurants in DC are gone now? How many small businesses aren't going to make it and can't hire their folks back? Even the article acknowledges a second wave would blow that V-check recovery out the water like a nuke-tip torpedo, which the scientists are saying is inevitable. Leave it to an economist to say if everything goes perfectly we gonna make a whole lotta money. Trump is banking on whoever is gonna die, die now, to get the economy back to mediocre growth. This is dumb, even if there is no second wave and the folks that can't take their employees back do, the amount of damage done to the economy would kill that mediocre growth and become a recession anyway. We weren't in a good place anyway, jumping back to a step below that wouldn't be good either. And this sounds complete fantasyland to ignore this being a global economy not having an impact on our own. Look at Brazil. Look at Russia. They brushed over the Second Wave like it was an ingredient they didn't need to make the cake, dude, that's the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They point out the long term effects like small business bankruptcies, permanent head count reduction, among other things will make it a long way back to pre pandemic levels. But you could see a pretty big spike in the economy before it levels off and settles in at about 70% or so. And then as you say there is also the risk that we shut down again in the fall. It should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Even if the economy does just bounce back, lives lost won’t. I would be surprised if people really ignore that. Enough people to elect him, I mean. I know some people already don’t give a poop about the dead as is. I’m hoping those people are in the minority.

This massively underestimates people's desire to get rid or Trump. It massively underestimates the pain being felt by small businesses, that people will still be social distancing, that schools will likely be chaos. Y'all gotta grow a spine. Blue wave is coming.

Compare that vignette with Trump banging a porn star while his third wife sits at home with their new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
