If you're a billionaire, if you have 200 million in income and decide to pay your taxes monthly, you pay $10 a month instead of 100 million a year. That's why the rich don't pay any taxes.

 

Here's something pretty crazy. 2 Million chickens are going to be killed because of the processing plant shutdowns. I understand the farmers can't afford to keep feeding massive numbers of animals without compensation, but really? To waste all that food? It really is outrageous.

"
(CNN)Two million chickens on several farms in Delaware and Maryland will be "depopulated" -- meaning humanely killed -- due to a lack of employees at chicken processing plants, according to a statement from Delmarva Poultry Industry Inc.

The reduced employee attendance at the company's plants is a result of "additional community cases of COVID-19, additional testing, and people practicing the 'stay home if you're sick' social distancing guidance from public health officials," the statement reads.
The chickens will be depopulated "using approved, humane methods" that are accepted by the American Veterinary Medical Association and all state and local guidelines, the company said."

It really is sad that food that can feed millions of people is just - wasted. I hope we're forgiven for that.

O... M... G.... I guess I never fully appreciated the true horror of the covid epidemic until now. What can be done to minimize the effect of this horrible tragedy? If this beer was given away for free, perhaps there would be a few patriotic Americans left who would be willing to show up at our stadiums, be willing to stand 6 feet apart from each other while watching replays of basketball games on the stadium big screens, and most importantly, be willing to force themselves to drink all the free surplus beer and make sure it didn't go to waste!

CAN we count on our sports-watching public to be that patriotic? Can we????

 

Well, just remember that this is WORK, not a social event! You can't just show up and have a beer or two and hang out with your drunken buddies. There will be at least a 4-6 beer minimum and you'll be required to eat all the chips that are getting stale and nacho cheese sauce that is likely to go bad as well. And hot dogs. There are sure to be a lot of hot dogs and buns in the refrigerators, ALL of them have to go as well. Anyone who shows up can't be a lightweight, they have to do their part!

 

It's funny, but I was kind of thinking along those lines recently. Not that I'd go out and try and drink up all the stale beer in America, but that *everyone* has been sitting around boredom eating or stress eating for months. Once the restrictions are lifted, gym memberships are probably going to skyrocket.

 

Are you going to try and trim down to a size 2?

 

This could pretty much go in any debate topic, but it's mostly crazy. Some "professor" at Rutgers is blaming Trump supporters for the deaths of black people by the Wuhan virus.

"
A professor at a New Jersey university is blaming President Trump and his supporters for the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, claiming it’s their fault African-Americans have been dying at a disproportionate rate.

“F--- each and every Trump supporter. You absolutely did this. You are to blame,” were among the comments – several of them containing profanity – posted on Twitter this week by Brittney Cooper, an associate professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University.

In another post, Cooper wrote that she and other African-Americans suspect that recent efforts to reopen the country following stay-at-home orders were “all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID.”"

Wiping out our bee population could end up being more deadly than the Wuhan virus. Hopefully, the .gov takes drastic action and stops this from spreading across the U.S.
