This is not starting out well, and it needs to FUCKING STOP NOW.

I am getting the very real impression, both in real life and around the Internet, that there is a segment of this population who wants some sick mix of Logan's Run (where there is an ENFORCED maximum age) and then playing God on top of it (cheering about having and spreading "Boomer Remover").

Look, I'm the first person to understand that this is probably not going to be a two-week thing.  There are already governmental indications in my home state that they are preparing for TWO MONTHS.

I'm going to tell you something right now, you fucking assholes from the front door to the parks and beaches (where one Bay Area head doctor is now saying you're no less than spitting in our goddamned faces!!) and everywhere in between...

If you are not interested in "social distancing", the day is going to have to come very shortly you get it enforced on your asses at gunpoint, Martial Law style.

I am more than disturbed I even have to admit to giving the Big Orange Oompa-Loompa that power.  But facts are facts:

• Youth across the nation are nearly-completely disregarding social-distancing demands.
• This, despite stars from Garth Brooks to Willie Nelson to Keith Olbermann, and I could go on and on and on (and will on this blog!!!) trying their damndest to understand that they want to entertain us in a very difficult time.
• We probably have three months, four at best -- and that's with Universal Basic Income or whatever you wanna call it to keep the rents going and the utilities flowing.
• And we need this thing LICKED by that point, at least to the extent that we -- probably with significant social distancing restrictions, yes -- can restart some form of the economy.

Because if we don't, then, by that point (and that's if we make it that far before one of these things happens!!!), we hit one of three All-Stop Conditions:

• The power grid and/or the Internet go down permanently over a large portion of even a populated state.  Given the fact that the Internet is now being used to keep what people can be employed from home employed, the Internet now becomes as much an All-Stop as the power grid itself.
• The food supply chain breaks.  It's bad enough with the situation as stands.  Trucks with needed deliveries are being cancelled all over this country.  The need to try to keep stores stocked and cleaned from this virus has now reduced many cities to hours of operation not unlike rural towns.
• We simply lose order first.  Many in the belief do not believe we even get more than this week, maybe next -- even with money.  The fact is that we are running dangerously short on time before the streets literally go free-fire. 

If any one of those three things happens, the other two quickly follow.

And, at that point, you will completely lose the cities and the national infrastructure.

I have heard even Republicans basically call for a culling of the old -- accepting losses of 15 million.

We let this All-Stop Condition hit, then, by my estimate, between all of the facets of what goes down, I'm thinking TWO HUNDRED MILLION.

Here's the thing:  The only difference conspiracy theory makes on this is whether this culling is either an organized act beginning to end (conspiracy theory -- which WOULD result in a mass culling, not unlike China's low social-credit scores) or highly disorganized through complete loss of societal order (it's real and either we don't do anything to extend the timeframe, someone freaks out, or someone WANTS it to happen and instigates it!).

That happens, they're putting me in the ground.  I've gone from thinking of what I do in a second Trump term to having a very real confrontation with the belief I don't last THIS year.

Knock it the fuck off.  Stay the fuck home.  Or start being treated as a threat to life and social order where you live.

Now.
