A survey by the USC Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research reports that “less than half of Los Angeles County residents — 45% compared with 61% in mid-March — still hold a job” due to the impact of coronavirus, the Los Angeles Times reports...

Well, no one is flying in anymore to go to the La Brea Tar Pits and do lunch in Beverly Hills.

Our economy has been brutally raped.

Just the way the Left likes it

Our economy has been brutally raped. “A shutdown is a broadly destructive solution, to a problem that could be solved with far more targeted approaches!"

Quarantines only work to keep a small amount of sick people from going out!

They don’t work to keep the vast majority of healthy people locked inside.

Thanks to HotHunt for this great visual!

No more movies. No more movie stars.

It’s not all bad.

[PGalt]

BUMP!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks.

Please use it here and with your emails.

I like the box office figures that are coming out now. Hollywood deserves them, too!

No, when you temporarily restrict the movements of healthy people to keep them from getting sick and some of them dying, it’s a response to an epidemic.

If they had known what we know back then, deaths from the Spanish flu could have been cut drastically.

Consent of the governed? I consent to what has been done, except for the idiocies of the demonrats and other leftwads.

America has no economy right now. Government will keep spending. I have no conceivable reason how one day it will not just seize like an engine without oil. Mission accomplished. Obama is jealous.

BTW,this is how countries start civil wars and world wars erupt.

[RonnG]

And they all work for the government

Today we have learned very little--anyone who wants to wear masks and avoid crowds is called a "Fearper".

We’ve learned a little. It’s amazing to see the blunders of government early in the epidemic.

And I have never seen the members of the Los Angeles City Council and the Mayor this happy and giddy now that poverty, despair, unemployment, homelessness,... is in the rise.
