A fine $10 somewhere I read?

It’s a bit low, at least $43

Also, I think if they aren't going to scrap public transit in Washington, D.C. altogether, they might as well just cut every single route except for one.

Just let one bus run to pick people up.

Interventionist.

Given they're 70 years old, wouldn't you say they fall into a high-risk group? 🤷

restlesssurfer97 said:Wait a second, if people are testing positive while they're already in self-isolation, then what was even the point? Why were those twins stuck in quarantine in the first place? 🤔

I don't get this either.

They act like they're made of wood and stone, yet they let them go as positive cases.

A total Corona party.

So, the next house is about 100 feet away, and there's a new sign.

EDIT:

That wasn't really the main point, though. It was more about having way too many municipalities and counties.

Just heard on HRT 4 that 3,000 small business owners have officially thrown in the towel 👋

That’s just incredibly 👋

If there was ever a moment to make some serious cuts, this is it.

Of course, the heavyweights of crony capitalism and those who live off the public teat are still firmly in power, so we won't see any planned reforms anytime soon. But there are other ways things could play out—perhaps people will finally lose their patience and actually show up at the polls, or maybe we'll hit total bankruptcy and be forced into a healthier economic scenario under pressure from our creditors.

But that's a different story; they'll do absolutely anything just to avoid making those cuts.

I guess I'm looking at,

Ever since those media owners had their meeting with the Government, they haven't even touched on that question during press conferences.

restlesssurfer97 said:There are probably two or three different ways this could go down, and honestly, people are just drifting from one option to the next without even having a pass 🤣

I mean, look at how much Vojkovic totally messed up today regarding those passes 🤣

You can't just fire miserable people who are stuck in useless positions because they're part of the bureaucracy; that’s just not the solution 👋

I went to Porec about a month and a half ago.

I went through the Lincoln Tunnel and decided to skip the interstate altogether. I figured I’d just cut across some hills instead.

Look, restlesssurfer97, I swear to God, I just drove through a place that had exactly one house. One single damn house and a sign telling you where you are. 🤣

Maybe it's just the local municipality. ☕

restlesssurfer97 said:Anyone who actually manages to get a government bureaucrat fired should probably just be handed a Nobel Prize on the spot 🙏🙏

Man, what am I looking at? 🤣

They might as well have deployed snipers.

If someone starts moving, they get a bullet to the head, then what?

Just an example, I guess.

restlesssurfer97 said:I really hope that Paul Sanders5 is actually working for some major national newspaper or something, you know, so he can at least go treat himself to a nice meal at Walmart 👋

Is this even possible? 🙏

brightpilot6 said:Nobody truly has a solution for this situation, especially not under a government as inept as ours.

Our support measures for entrepreneurs are nothing more than a joke.

But if this whole ordeal is just some predictable, petty squabble in Split, then so be it; perhaps then we might actually see better days.

What kind of political game? Like I said, these people won't give up an inch of anything just to keep their voters in line.

ruggedjackal46 said:Dammit, if you started handing out non-selective layoffs to a massive chunk of people right now (we're talking 50% of the public sector?!), all you'd end up doing is creating a mountain of social welfare cases that the government would just have to deal with all over again. People are stuck in isolation, they aren't even allowed to leave their houses, and now you want to slap them with a pink slip and strip away their financial stability? Seriously, what are they supposed to live on?

And what about private companies?

And by extension, the public sector too?

Paul Sanders5 said:Another brilliant move from the top brass. If you head out somewhere without a pass, you're looking at a $30k fine. Break quarantine? That'll be an $8k hit. 🤣

Seriously, just screw it. We’re getting exactly what we deserve. 😁

Amanda Evans2 said:30k without even a pass, rofl
This has become absolutely sick...

🤣 🙏

just keep going. 🙏

And am I seeing some law about electronic media? I didn't follow this morning, can someone explain?

Well, @Michelle Palmer6 is followed unconditionally. If I say today that I don't like certain measures, I get attacked. If I say Beroš's statement about fifth columnists is garbage, I get attacked.

And at the same time, I'm asking where the equipment from the UAE is? A deal with a firm from Pula was canceled because of a donation from the UAE that I can't find a single mention of—they just used it as cover. And masks are missing.

We're waiting on a truck from Zabok and a plane from China.

Besides, I'm not talking to you specifically, but generally speaking, they aren't giving up their comfort and their cushy seats to lay off 50% of public sector employees (their own voting base, basically), while the country faces total collapse.

They gave a three-month extension. 🙏🙏🙏

Man, they haven't even replaced the county governor in SM county yet. 🙏

ruggedjackal46 said:If I actually had the answers to those questions, I’d be walking up to collect a Nobel Prize in Economics by now. But honestly, I’m pretty sure the solution isn't to just go out and wreck the public sector at the exact moment the private sector is stalling and failing to hire anyone. It’s not like the government doesn't have enough on its plate without adding a massive wave of new unemployed people to the mix.

I mean, cutting taxes would definitely give private businesses a boost. But then again, that's when the public sector takes the hit.

But we aren't going to see that movie play out.

Michelle Palmer6 said:That sounds great in theory, but reality is telling a different story. Right now, a huge chunk of the people on ventilators aren't even part of that high-risk demographic.

That’s exactly my point—we missed the boat, and now we're scrambling to fix it.

And look at this.

This is hurting us ten times more than any lack of testing ever could. Think about it: what does it actually matter if you tested someone from this bus negative earlier? By default, you should assume a portion of them is positive and asymptomatic. Now, instead of playing guessing games, you can just put the whole bus into self-isolation automatically without needing a single test.

What really gets under my skin is this mindless obedience to orders. Instead of increasing traffic flow, if they aren't cutting it entirely, they're actually slowing it down.

Terrible.

It's kind of sad. Now that America finally has local broadcasting, they should probably test everyone who develops some sort of illness, shouldn't they? 🕺

EDIT:

Traffic jams near Split; Opara is calling for the removal of passes within the Split metropolitan area.

🕺

restlesssurfer97 said:Do you guys at least agree that massive, widespread testing really ought to be one of the top priorities in this whole fight, regardless of how much the bill actually comes to?
And if you aren't on board with that, what's your reasoning?

Just imagine the media frenzy and the attacks on the White House and the crisis task force if they tested as aggressively as you’re suggesting. I guess very few people would actually admit they were doing a good job.
