Trump says US ‘has to help’ coronavirus-stricken cruise liners heading to Florida
I wonder which of trump’s advisors was able to convince him to do this. Whoever it was, I’m glad they did.

@WereBear: I’m thinking of one huge retirement condo community in Clearwater that will be utterly devastated.
As far as the churches go, most of them have suspended services voluntarily. Only the most committed moron ministers are still trying to grift.
WereBear
@OzarkHillbilly: Except it will be given to a minion who will make it into a disaster because they want to skim some money off the top.
Like our current PPE crisis caused by blatant profiteering. Organized by the White House.
WereBear
Yes, but Florida has more of them than most :(
My SBC-drenched childhood there tips me off about that. It also sends a scofflaw message.

@OzarkHillbilly: It’s pathetic that basic humanity is startling when his administration does it.
Also, the federal government is clearly profiteering from everywhere they can. Blatantly. Free market!

Gov. Wolf (PA), a generally heads-up and progressive leader, has also declared Religious institutions as “essential” in his new order yesterday for stay-at-home until April 30.
WTF?!?!
I am fine with that, as long as people who go to religious services are locked into their places of worship for two weeks.
Fvcking ridiculous….
