      Great. Stand by for a run on already hard to get Isopropyl alcohol and Aloe Vera gel.

      Honestly, who writes this shit?

      And, what's wrong with soap?

      1. 1.1.1

        In my neck of the woods there's not squirt bottle of sanitiser to be had but iso is available by the drum and aloe grows wild.

        1. 1.1.1.1

          Of course. Everyone, there's a barrel on every street corner, right next to seven types of wild Aloe.

          1. 1.1.1.2.1

            while we're at it. If you think you might run out of toilet paper, remember that millions of people use water instead, google ahead of time so you know what to do in a hygienic way.

        3. 1.1.1.3

          In my neck of the woods there's not squirt bottle of sanitiser to be had.

          Also no chance of the bat virus, neither.

    1. 2.1

      Awesome, they're at it again.

      Interesting read. It is legal for OMV to put them separate rooms with a guard on the door so they can't leave or talk to each other?

    Repug’s dry run putting the fix in. They'll pull all the stops in November..

    The 50 counties that saw the highest growth in black and Latino population had 542 polling sites close between 2012 and 2018, while the 50 counties with the lowest black and Latino population growth saw just 34 closures. The closures came despite the population in the top 50 counties rising by 2.5 million while the 50 counties that had just 34 closures saw their population fall by 13,000.

    "This is voter suppression — plain and simple," said the progressive advocacy group MoveOn.

        It's embarrassingly poor. And extremely low percentage journalism. He stalked Sanders like he was a criminal for his own gain.

        Mediaworks execs signed off on this. They have been making some seriously shitty decisions lately. Hannah Tamaki for instance…

        As if we didn't know already, Gower does stunts for Gower only, not for the public.

        What an arsehole.

    Simon gets savaged by Siouxsie Wiles, an associate professor in molecular medicine and pathology.

    I can't quite believe I need to tell you this (Simon), but during a serious outbreak of a new infectious disease, the last thing we need is for our elected representatives to be undermining the important messages coming from the Government, scientists, and public health officials.

    Time to mobilize and put the army territorials on the streets I think, they'll be far better responding to a health crisis than the Keystone Docs approach currently in place.

    2. 7.2

      Great to be back maui, my friend.

      Look forward to some interesting discussions.
      Sounds like you and I agree on the correct response to corona virus.

      Socialism, not the free market, is best placed to deal with existential social crises.

      Time for the government to take control of the economy and nationalise key state assets in the interests of the many.
