Our local tv news peeps are broadcasting from home too. Some of them have nice kitchen cabinets.
This is a really good article. Having wealthy celebs urging people to donate money seems to be losing its luster and is drawing “You first” responses on social media.
If there is anything to learned from all this is it’s that “celebrities” and sports figures aren’t worth squat in an emergency. Our farmers, food manufacturers, truck drivers and store clerks are much more important.
Art only emerges when subsistence levels are met first. But keep in mind that most people are spending their time at home, reading, watching movies...
Thank Christ I do not watch regular tv. Haven’t seen any of this crap pap.
It’s on Instagram!
I find the absence of these self-absorbed, self-important people very refreshing.
Too bad it’s behind a wall.
After this is all over,hopefully,nobody will remember these narcissistic Aholes.
watching these buffoons live in opulence while nurses, doctors and cashiers risk their lives is obscene.
F Celebrities!
Dance, Monkey, Dance!
I have not owned a TV for over 25 years so I hear you...
Many, many people would consider a lock down in any of their homes a resort vacation.
A few years ago my neighbor across the road got busted for running a chop shop at his garage. I believe he also ran a ring that broke into homes. He was found guilty (both he and his wife were driving stolen vehicles) and because he got a dandy lawyer (very well off family, btw) he got a month house arrest.
Well, palatial home, swimming pool, 50 acres, two large beautiful barns, one full of cars, the other with horses. Horse corral, riding trails, sauna, every toy on the market. What a flippin’ joke. The ordinary person would pay big money to spend some time at their house.
I agreed with a lot of what she said until she started glorifying Brittany Spears’ Communist manifesto. Are you freaking serious? Brittany Spears lecturing us on economics? Just what does she think will happen to HER wealth when all wealth is redistributed?

Your name sake song.
Not to mention that I’m so sick of these self-absorbed pieces of garbage that I could throw up. They have contributed greatly to the moral decay of both our countries....every time I think of them whining about guns and that whole me too thing, I laugh. Nobody has promoted more violence and promiscuity than this pathetic bunch. They are the only group that could go out of business and make the world a better place.
And i don’t facebook, twitteror instagram either.
Thank merciful God.
Celebrity culture is burning like a persistent hemorrhoid.
Pandemic Historian: ‘Coronavirus a Disease of Globalization’.......
breitbart. ^ | 3/29/2020 | John Binder
Frank Snowden — a historian details how the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the globalist worldview of free movement of people and free trade.
Globalization, Snowden notes, has driven the coronavirus to majorly impact the wealthiest of Americans.
“Respiratory viruses, Mr. Snowden says, tend to be socially indiscriminate in whom they infect. Yet because of its origins in the vectors of globalization, the coronavirus appears to have affected the elite in a high-profile way,” the Journal piece states. “From Tom Hanks to Boris Johnson, people who travel frequently or are in touch with travelers have been among the first to get infected.”
The infection of thousands of the nation’s rich and upper-middle-class has driven class warfare in regions like the Hamptons in New York where some of the wealthiest, most liberal celebrities own property.
A report by Maureen Callahan for the New York Post chronicles how the working class staff of the Hamptons’ elite are turning on them as those infected disregard rules and Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines:
“There’s not a vegetable to be found in this town right now,” says one resident of Springs, a working-class pocket of East Hampton. “It’s these elitist people who think they don’t have to follow the rules.” [Emphasis added]
It’s not just the drastic food shortage out here. Every aspect of life, most crucially medical care, is under strain from the sudden influx of rich Manhattanites panic-fleeing … — and in some cases, knowingly bringing coronavirus. [Emphasis added]
“We’re at the end of Long Island, the tip, and waves of people are bringing this s–t,” says lifelong Montauker James Katsipis. “We should blow up the bridges. Don’t let them in.” [Emphasis added]
While globalization has delivered soaring profits for corporate executives, working- and middle-class American communities have been left behind to grapple with fewer jobs, less industry, stagnant wages, and increase competition in the labor market due to decades-long mass legal immigration.
Since 2001, free trade with China has cost millions of Americans their jobs. For example, the Economic Policy Institute has found that from 2001 to 2015, about 3.4 million U.S. jobs were lost due to the nation’s trade deficit with China.
Of the 3.4 million U.S. jobs lost in that time period, about 2.6 million were lost in the manufacturing industry, making up about three-fourths of the loss of jobs from the U.S.-Chinese trade deficit.
