No, what's 'crazy' is having to read a mind-numbing comment claiming anyone is 'locking up people in their homes', in service of defending an out-of-touch billionaire who flies twice a day on his private jet, 200,000 miles in just the last 3 months. https://twitter.com/evdefender/status/1252352769605791744?s=20 https://twitter.com/evdefender/status/1252352769605791744?s=...
Why out of touch? Because 74% of Americans support the quarantine https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/489535-poll-majority-of-voters-support-national https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c...
Why is this all particularly insane? Musk went on to praise China's reaction, which _actually locked people into their homes_ and their "opening" is our "locking up people in their homes". https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-lockdown-analysis-intl-hnk/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/asia/wuhan-coronavirus-lockdo...
- ramblerman 6y agoThis isn't your typicial political argument where you pick a side and dig in your heels. It's more like a goldilocks situation where we need "just enough" measures. In that vein I don't think we should just silence the opposite side and dismiss people wanting to open up as "crazy".
- anoncareer0212 6y agoOkay, but that conflicts directly with the idea we need to avoid labelling someone ranting about facism, locking people in their homes, and The Meaning Of America.
- xkjkls 6y agoYou can't praise China for its response then criticize the American response as fascism in your next sentence.
