It seems The White House has a Blockade Keeping States and Hospitals from Getting PPE Deeply disturbing. Read the Whole Thing.
We need a trickle down economic method for bailout money for big business and too big to fail banks. See if it works any better for them.
It’s fun to see people channel their stircrazyness into something fun and creative.

Everytime Trump says or does something I want to facepalm. Except we are not supposed to touch our face.
I don’t care if the airlines survive. We’ve bailed them out how many times since 9/11? That ought to tell us something. Of course I say this when @JohnPhilpin is stuck on an island somewhere. ;-) We need to switch to different means of transport.
And it’s snowing.
GOP Congressman: Lawmakers Must “Put On Our Big Boy and Big Girl Pants” and Let Americans Die. Talk is cheap when you are sending others to their deaths, Congressman Hollingsworth. Volunteer to lead us from the front.
I’m having trouble buying ebook fiction to read. I’m just not going to pay $13 for a fiction ebook.
Global supply chain things we overlooked for lockdown: chocolate cake delivery.
One month later. Is this the guy we want in charge of the economic recovery?
I think we can safely say, the White House response to coronavirus is going nowhere. “I’ve seen drunken runs to Taco Bell that were better executed than this mess.”
Temp got up to around 60 degrees today and instead of wanting hot drinks, I got this sudden craving for Diet Cola. That’s the one thing I’ve noticed about lockdown - I get cravings for stuff I don’t have. Weird.
Over the last week I learned:
- Aldi delivers in my area. This is a complete game changer for me. I like Aldi and their prices and this makes things so much easier.
- I was reminded about schwans.com. They also deliver around here and their stuff is very good.
Between the two of them I may never have to leave home again for supplies.
I’m down to my last 3 apples. There on, it’s canned fruit and frozen berries.

I just pre-ordered a book, local history, from Powell’s. Amazon is delaying new books because they are busy shipping pandemic items. B&N also has it but I’m glad I checked Powell’s first. Need to keep them open.
Meanwhile, in the US, paddling deeper up Shit Creek. That pretty much sums it up.
I wonder if local plumbers have started stocking bidets - the kind you add on to a toilet? Now would be the time to offer a sale if business is slow.

I’m getting sick of hearing the phrase, “in these challenging times”, especially in commercials. It’s American corporation-speak for See we sound like we sincerely care, now buy our worthless product before you die.
Pot dispensaries are legal in Michigan. Also in Michigan, all grocery stores are out of Oreo cookies and garlic dip.

You used to be able to buy bread dough. I think it was frozen. All you had to do was let it thaw and rise, then bake, and you got a loaf of bread. Kinda uninspired bread, but bread and complete with baking bread comfort smell. I haven’t seen that in the store for ages. I guess bread machines killed that off.
