Now that you mention it I've been getting a lot of shitty highly perishable produce, like rotten lettuce and moldy berries and bananas and avocados coming in overripe already, so it probably is a problem with delays fucking it up.

Nice, trying to profit directly off of the suffering of others sure is a great PR move.

Yo good news buckaroos. Spain opens to tourism for July. It'll probably be moved forward anyway. And we already have tourists here (though don't tell sanchez they're tourists. Wink wink nudge nudge.) But point is. Now it's official. July is tourist season, period, no excuses or bollocks. Sanchez has also stated UBI is finally getting approved the 26th, no delays, and will be implemented by june. Including the implementation of what they call the Universal Social Card which will be dusting off our bureaucracy, formalizing it, and unifying the social aid, on top of helping against fraud. Which means UBI might actually be a really good idea because with every autonomy not communicating properly our system's wasteful AF as it is so it'll wind up wasting less money in some areas. Fucking hilarious, implement UBI to reduce cost of social spending. My god. Welcome to spain. And a specially good thing is it applies only people who have LEGALLY resided in spain for (I don't remember how many) years, and it has some rough conditions to keep people from abusing it and never getting a job. On top of that we got more lifted restrictions and the PSOE stating that unless a massive fucking spike assrapes us this is not even being proposed for voting next season, we're just dropping the lockdown altogether. So hooray for surprisingly good news coming from our executive. I don't even fucking know how Sanchez manages to so drastically go from good to bad and back again, that slimy bastard. But he better keep his word this time.
After this morning's right wing circus and the journos going stupid with that bullshit we really did need good news and a lot of people are celebrating. Vox has quickly gone from gloating about their cars' annoyance to outright anger at everyone being happy again and has pulled the biggest dick move by TRYING TO HAVE FERNANDO SIMON INCARCERATED over the 8M protests. And everyone's stood against them. Which has shown how little power they truly have. Yes they're insuferable. But they can't actually do anything other than being insuferable. God is that pityful. Remember when these guys were pushing the right wing to slightly more sanity at the begining of this shit?
good times... But point is THAT has actually lifted morale even more than the economic news. 'Cause it's quickly caused their morale sabotage of this morning to be put into question, as they overplayed their hand in a matter of hours and got stomped by scientists and politicians alike as the social webs attacked them for it. So they got a taste of their own medicine, and god are they mad about it.
Point is. They hsd us on the first half but it's recovered, memes are back. People are OK. Unions are still fucking depressed and I still fear that as corruption becomes more public knowledge and the fact nothing was done about it becomes apparent people will actually resort to some fucked up violent shit. But with the round of good news and the economy on the rise non-unioners don't have to know that yet... Ether way I'mma ride this high anyway, because I'm sick and tired of worrying. Just don't mention Los Pascuales for a few days. Maybe that way I can sleep well at night for a while. And once we can protest again, we'll see how the Tides handle it. 'Cause if they don't... Well. Someone else will. That's for sure. Fuck I still think someone will be doing something about it before the Tides start operating again. But I just can't give a shit anymore. All I can think about is going to the beach tonight for a walk. The politics were shit but the economy got good. That's a net positive for me. Spanish politics are always shit anyway. We'll find a way to cape this one... All we need is for the left to stay put and take the whips from the right without responding until lockdown drops. Then we can mobilize properly again. So let's hope they do. If anything, they have practice, that's for sure.

PG&E's rates are so high they can afford to give discounts. The discounts you may be getting are conservation credits. Usually get them on the May and November bills. Got the normal, bigger credit on the May bill. Getting smaller credits on the June/July bills.

They mean summer next year? Like a whole damned academic year?! Does Cambridge know what "bankruptcy" means? And here I thought our dumbasses were being excessive by proposing quotas for social distancing. Fucking hell. I would not go study economy there.

19,994 confirmed / 1,130 dead
19,735 confirmed / 1,115 dead yesterday
(i.e. 15 new deaths, up 4 from this day last week)
Normal not-Detroit Death Rate: 167 per day**
All Michigan (9,990,000; 103/sq. mi.; 40/sq km):
54,365 confirmed / 5,223 dead / 33,168 recovered = 15,974 active cases
53,913 confirmed / 5,158 dead yesterday

(343 dead (down 11) and 4,934 declared recovered (down 614) since last week)
Net change: -1,416 active cases since last Saturday.
Normal Michigan Death Rate: 271 per day.**
Death toll doubled since: April 20.
We were locked down from: March 24 (untilApril 30? May 21),
Masks have been mandatory in stores since: April 27 (until April 30?).
Detroit Metro Daily Deaths Last Seven Days:
4 / 14 / 77*** / 26 / 22*** / 13 / 50*** = 232***
State Government site, daily - today's archive;
State Gov site, total, includes breakdowns by sex, age, race and ethnicity - today's archive.
*Here defined as the City of Detroit, and Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties, minus state and federal prisoners, who are not counted towards any county's cases, but are kept in categories of their own.
** As of 2018.
*** 43, 31, and 44 statewide deaths, respectively, were added on these days upon State review. Presumably most were in Detroit, but I don't know exactly how many.
One Ann Arbor man allegedly killed by his roommate in a Corona-related dispute (archive). The suspect has been released from custody while the investigation continues (archive).

SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN
Shelter-in-place order from Tuesday March 24 toMonday April 13. Friday, May 1, Friday, May 15, May 28, but May 22 for the farthest north, May 21, kind of? But also June 12 May 1, maybe? (archive May 21) (executive order saved on KF) . The Republican-controlled legislature has refused to extend Governor Whitmer's emergency authority. Governor Whitmer insists her emergency orders are all still in effect (Rundown on the laws).
State attorney general Dana Nessel (D)is also leaving enforcement of the stay-at-home order to local discretion until the courts weigh in on it (archive). She has stated Governor Whitmer's orders are valid and are to be enforced (archive). The legislature is not calling for civil disobedience at this time (archive).
The legislature has filed a lawsuit against the governor (archive). Oral arguments were heard May 15 (archive). A Court of Claims judges has ruled in favor of the governor. The legislature has appealed.
State senate leader Mike Shirkey (R) is also supporting a petition drive to change the law. Such a petition would require 340,047 signatures to be collected. It would be veto-proof if approved by the legislature, and would go on the next general election ballot if denied by them (archive 1, archive 2, archive 3).
U. S. Rep Paul Mitchell (R - The Thumb) has filed a lawsuit independently against Governor Whitmer, in federal district court. Link, pdf on KF. He has also founded a committee to work on the petition recommended by Sen. Shirkey.
There have been over a dozen lawsuits against Governor Whitmer's actions during this crisis, mostly regarding the shut-down order, in various stages of progress and in various courts (summary of eight of them).However, "all deadlines applicable to the commencement of all civil and probate actions and proceedings" are suspended until the end of the states of emergency and disaster. Executive order, and thus in limbo. (archive).
OTHER SHUTDOWNS

HEALTH CARE
Hydroxychloroquine banned by governor's order (archive). Nevermind LOL! Now she's asking the federal government for it and claiming the ban was a mistake in the first place. (archive). Detroit-area hospitals are testing the drug's effectiveness as a preventative on first responders and health-care workers (archive). Article on results, May 8 (archive).
Elective surgeries are banned. Maybe? Who knows. If/when in effect, abortions were not included in the ban (thread).
At any rate, hospitals are resuming elective surgeries.

LAW AND ORDER
All localities given more discretion to release prisoners early (archive). It was an executive order. Who knows if it's still valid?
Detroit shootings up, but most other crime down (archive - April 30); Muskegon police report crime is up (archive).
Breaking the lockdown is a misdemeanor, punishable by $1500 fines and 90 days jail time. (Still valid???) Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has stated there will not be a "ramp up" of police enforcement (archive). The attorney general has left it to local law enforcement to close businesses, as her hands are full with price-gougers and con artists (archive).
The police cannot, at present, pull drivers over simply for being out during the shutdown (archive). Multiple sherrifs from the rural north to Detroit suburbs have stated they will not be enforcing or not strictly enforcing parts or the entirety of the order (archive).

She might as well be wearing a bead mask.
That mask is a very good representation of clearly what goes on in her head. Information, science, fact and common sense into one ear and straight out the other and non of it captured inbetween.
I will put money on it now that the fashionable and thick as shit females will be wearing these fucking useless crochet and bead masks with thier flower pattern wellies at euro music festivals, in the near future.

Denver orders closure of USPS facility that handles all mail for Colorado and Wyoming
Denver's public health department wants to shut down a USPS location that gets every piece of Colorado's mail after five employees tested positive for COVID-19.
This could be a real shit show if the USPS is forced to comply to the Denver Public Health Authority.
5 employees at an 1800 person sorting facility have tested positive for the WuFlu. This sorting facility is resposible for sorting and distributing all mail for Colorado and Wyoming,
I did laugh when I read that the Health Authority people were not allowed to observe the whole operation, but only allowed to see from a public viewing area.

I'm not doing the mask and gloves anymore. I can hardly breathe, it gets damp in humid weather (which we're having atm) and makes me break out. The nitrile gloves get damp inside as well. I'm done.
I had to go to the veterinarian and they kept reminding me to put it on. At this point everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that we've all been exposed/infected but the fucking Karens will and do call the NYPD to bitch. That's the only reason I wear it it now, to placate the Karens so they won't call the cops on the vet, supermarket or fruit stand.

Just what we need right now: overpriced novelty items that tend to collect dust the second they're received.
Not to mention trying to market these to those people who likely have less or no money coming in right now.
While I get the need to treat the infected people and protect everyone else, mail is just a bit of an essential service, no? Telling people they won't be able to receive/pay bills isn't going to go over very well. Also, many insurance companies
