Crops rotting in fields. Dairy farmers incentivized to quit for good. Beef/pork processors shutting down. All by design. Spread the word and make sure everyone starts growing food, no matter how small scale — every bit helps.

On Wednesday, Democratic Socialist and petulant scold Bernie Sanders announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign owing to the fact that, within the last few weeks, his entire agenda for America had been successfully realized.

“The government is emptying the prisons, spending trillions in make-believe money, and locking up churches while making sure Planned Parenthood stays open,” explained Sanders. “I keep pinching myself just to be sure this isn’t just some kind of wonderful dream!”

In a nod to his roots, millionaire Sanders plans to bring a number of young Jewish people to one of his three homes and turn it into a kibbitz, “Which is like a kibbutz, only I just watch everyone else work and tell them what they’re doing wrong.”

Presumed Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, could not be reached for comment because he’s farting in a bathtub and giggling about the bubbles.

Protesters gathered outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus on Thursday to demonstrate against Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Health director Dr. Amy Acton.

Around 100 protesters crashed the governor’s coronavirus press briefing to stand up against the state’s “stay-at-home” order, in what appears to be the first example public dissent directed toward COVID-19 decrees.

Marchers chanted, “Open Ohio,” and held signs reading, “Quarantine Worse Than Virus,” “My Constitutional Rights Are Essential,” “Freedom Is Essential,” along with other slogans.

The city has little choice but to bury Gotham’s mounting coronavirus dead on Hart Island, a City Hall spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.

“For decades, Hart Island has been used to lay to rest decedents who have not been claimed by family members. We will continue using the island in that fashion during this crisis and it is likely that people who have passed away from COVID who fit this description will be buried on the Island in the coming days,” mayoral spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein told The Post.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said earlier this week the city was considering temporary burial of the pandemic’s dead on Hart Island, but shied away from making a firm commitment.

Troubling new images released Thursday show nearly a dozen contracted workers in protective suits burying stacks of wooden coffins in a mass grave, one week after The Post published drone footage that captured prisoners burying nearly two dozen.

If covid-19 is indeed hastening the permanent disruption of the status quo, what will life in a post-coronavirus world look like? This prognosticating session builds on last week’s Economic Shockwaves roundtable: https://www.peakprosperity.com/econom…

This time, John Rubino, Charles Hugh Smith and Adam Taggart — also joined by Chris Martenson this time — discuss the myriad ways in the future may be permanently altered by the disruptions happening right now.

How will the economy, fiat currencies, jobs & the nature of work, as well as our general lifestyle, be forced to evolve?

What new solutions will be required and what shape with they take? All this and more is addressed in this video (1-hour runtime). These roundtables are always a good time as John, Charles, Chris and I not only enjoy each other’s company, but we find helpful value in tapping each other’s thinking.

The process always creates even more questions that we want to ask one another. After shooting this one, the group agreed that fertile future territory includes the housing market, retirement/pensions, which big cartels are most vulnerable to today’s disruption (e.g., education, health care, pharma, finance) and what benefits would emerge from breaking their industry strangleholds.

1,897 deaths yesterday in the U.S. In one day.Good thing this isn’t real, or that might be worrisome. [/sarc]

 The absolute last “Bridge Out” sign before even the hardiest morons will have to admit this is really a thing, is if, heaven forbid, this ever gets to numbers above 7000 deaths/day. That’s the number of deaths from all causes in a normal year (±2.6M of them/yr): heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, shootings, getting trampled by buffalo, eaten by feral pigs, etc.

 If we overtop that, there’s no more thin trees to hide behind before the peak of obvious fact appears, that people are dying now, faster, and it can’t be imaginary “packing all deaths into Kung Flu” black helicopter horseshit.

 (It really shouldn’t even take that: the number of, for example, car accidents or shootings now is waaaaaaaaaaay down, because no one’s out and about. A normal night for us at work is 5-10 car accidents; we’re amazed if we see 1 now.  Vehicle accident stats and crime numbers everywhere are doing a mega-nosedive. Deaths from cardio-, cardiorespiratory, and pneumonia deaths are off the charts. That should be a less-than-subtle hint, even to space cadets, but you can’t argue someone out of a position using facts and logic, if they didn’t use facts and logic to get to where they are in the first place.)

 That doesn’t mean sanity will break out, especially among the chemtrail lunatard fringe; it just means the tinfoil millinery contingent will have to STFU, or risk a good and well-deserved public stoning every time they open their yawps. NTTAWWT.

Is it Islamophobic to call out a Muslim for jihad during the apocalypse?

While the above graphic only reflects online purchases, it is interesting to note the top 10 fastest declining e-commerce product categories. While our lives have changed, except for the fire which almost burned our house down this week, it has been more peaceful. The firemen broke the cable feeding our Directv dish and the solution was to cancel the service. We never watched TV much anyway and the little news we did watch was propaganda based on ignorance.

I believe we should be thankful to God for this time together and to take stock on what is really important. It is not politics, physical assets, watching TV or sports. This is a time to evaluate your neighbors, communities and mental health. What if this is just a dry run for the inevitable economic collapse?
