COVID-19 Response: An issue that shouldn't be at all political....yet here we are

What does that do?

1. Prices go up and some locals get forced out.
2. These are generally not community-minded people. They are here literally “to vacate” — when it is convenient.
3. Lots of them are jerks. Workers at our small, family-run market, for instance, have told me that they are sick and tired of these people’s sense of entitlement.

Some locals are fighting back, proposing a significant property tax surcharge on homes that are not primary residences. Good luck with that when they haul in their corporate law teams.

You should look at it on the bright side.

All these liberal New Yorkers can vote in NYC. Hop on the train and go vote in Connecticut.

My next-door neighbor is a local real estate guy and tells me that business is booming here in Connecticut as the wealthy New Yorkers have a place to go when they feel like fleeing the city.

How are the anti-airbnb laws working in your area?

I love how they're the entitled ones meanwhile you're *****ing about them spending money in your store and proposing to tax them.

Crovash.

There's a great episode of south park where all the rich black celebrities move into town.

It's a natural product of economic growth.

"The virus is everywhere".

".02% of 2400 workers tested positive"

".0004% died"

And "the virus is everywhere".

Where could I have possibly got the idea you were callous towards Americans dying from Coronavirus I wonder?

Also, you forgot to mention how only .04% tested negative, because they only tested .07% of plant workers.

Oh, I feel bad for the guy and his family. It's ****ing horrible and I don't know how many times I have to say that for you to stop making those accusations.

That poor guy lost his life 2 weeks ago. The story was published today. Do you not think that if more people contracted it, it wouldn't have been updated in that article?

Someone said it well in here today. You're a hero. We love you valade. Your valor is amazing.
