Nobody on this planet has even come close to hitting their capacity limits. New York, which they love to call the epicenter of the outbreak, basically sent us a floating hospital ship because they had no use for it. So, what does that actually mean? It means we aren't just talking about some random virus anymore—we're looking at the situation in Italy and Bergamo.

Look, Stozer, stop stirring the pot, Papi.

I see they’re already cleaning out the Arena. They haven't even filled half the hospital beds, yet they spent all this time brainwashing us about a total collapse. 🤣

Just sex.

best thing ever 🤣

But the issue is, it shouldn't be your job to sell jerseys just to fund Petro's comeback.

And I feel like as long as we keep throwing money at things this way, it isn't actually doing any good...

Exactly. That’s why I think any kind of donation drive—especially asking athletes to beg for donations—is just a joke.

What are we even paying taxes for, especially since they're pretty damn high? To fund bureaucrats at the US Geological Survey who just waste time, or to pay for mismanagement in places like a nursing home in Miami? Governments, especially over in Europe, are swimming in cash, even the ones labeled as "poorest." It's all about how that money actually gets spent...

Look, I’m not actually holding it against him. In America, you basically can't land any decent gig unless you're part of a political party—doesn't even matter which one, as long as someone in the machine gives you that necessary push when the time comes. Does he have the credentials for his role? Honestly, I'd say yeah; if he didn't, people would be screaming about it by now.

What I *do* hold against him is the absolute mountain of idiotic statements he's been dumping on us over the last seven days. ☕

Getting old, my friend.

Hold on, damn, don't go pulling the queen out before the king on your very first move.

Even Pinochet didn't have much trouble with Chile.

By the way, I just stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry.
The intro on Pinochet:
Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte (Valparaíso, November 25, 1915 – Santiago, December 10, 2006), statesman, general, and President of Chile. He led a four-man military junta[1] that overthrew socialist President Allende in 1973. His rule lasted until 1990. Later, he implemented economic reforms that aided the development of the Chilean economy.

Is there even a single fascist dictator they don't find a way to glorify?

What exactly is being glorified in that paragraph?

restlesssurfer97 said:Anyway, I’m circling back to the whole COVID situation because honestly, it’s looking more and more likely that the folks over in Sweden are actually going to come out on top in this fight against the virus, and I was reading some data today suggesting that based on the math, the peak of the pandemic in Germany hit around March 18th, yet they didn't even pull the trigger on a full lockdown until March 22nd, which pretty much leads me to the dead-certain conclusion that those sweeping, total lockdowns were completely unnecessary, and Sweden is basically proving that point in real-time right now.

I mean, look, certain measures make sense, sure, but a total shutdown? Not really. We could have handled this entire mess with way fewer restrictions and we probably would have ended up with the exact same result in the end.

Just look at the stats coming out of Taiwan. They prove the point perfectly.

So what’s the word from Coach Miller... is he actually gonna let us play baseball?

Babic is a total clown—you don't even have to try, just look at his Facebook page. He’s like some offended drama queen, blocking anyone who dares to disagree with him. Honestly, you don't even need to insult him; just saying something that contradicts his current "vibe" is enough to trigger him. One minute he’s acting like a hardcore libertarian, the next he’s a liberal, then suddenly he’s leaning toward a dictatorship... basically, the guy has zero backbone and absolutely no sense of self.

restlesssurfer97 said:Look, I’m just gonna say it: I absolutely do not buy into conspiracy theories, seriously. If you’re out here betting that someone intentionally manufactured this whole situation, then we’re on totally different pages. I mean, let’s just be real and agree that everything has been blown way out of proportion, but my take is that it’s just a massive chain reaction of random circumstances that caused the scale to blow up, rather than some shadowy "powerful interests" or any of those other wild conspiracy tropes.

I'm with you on that. A massive wave of panic just took over, and when you factor in the fact that there aren't really any actual leaders left in Europe right now—like Queen mentioned recently—it makes sense. All we've got are mediocre politicians and bureaucrats. Nobody has the guts or the backbone to make any real, tough calls, so they just let inertia take over and started shutting everything down. One country starts moving, and then it's just a domino effect...

So I'm scrolling through the news from some random US city today. Some kid—the youngest one yet—passed away from COVID. Apparently, he overdosed. But, get this, he actually had COVID. And somehow, the virus was the thing that killed him, because apparently, an overdose was just a minor detail in the grand scheme of things. 😁

Novak Djokovic checked out of that whole scene a long time ago and moved onto some other kind of level entirely.

Totally with you on this. In sports, there’s always that one player you just fall for, where the trophy count doesn't even matter anymore.

For me, in tennis, it's definitely Marat Safin. In basketball? It's gotta be Allen Iverson.

Alright, what else you got for us, Mr. Joe?
