If you could end coronavirus by sacrificing a part of your country to the dark lord, which part would you choose, and why is it Florida?

@ragingloli, this is my all-time favorite of your questions, naughty though it may be.

You can’t sell something twice. The dark lord already has claims on most of the country. Will he take an unsecured i.o u. ? They are good for it. Right? Right?
Or beachfront property in Afghanistan? Real sand guaranteed . Water might be a problem. Its a steal at market prices. Might contain untold oil and mineral riches.

The presidential bedroom in the White House. Late at night. When a certain orange-skinned person is asleep.

Definately not Florida or Texas, more like Cali and NY. Pretty sure they’re currently already there imo.

@KNOWITALL It will probably Minnesota or Wisconsin or Maine or somewhere else that thinks 1% to 5% mortality rate is acceptable (for attendees of rallies); so let us have rallies and mass group meetings ! ~ ~ ~ ~

Stay at home works – - licking door knobs at the Emergency Department doesn’t make you smart.

Wait, WHAT?! Why Florida?

@JLeslie Maybe because of all the horrible things “Florida Man” has done. ;)

Or some other State with a Democratic governor ! Why would Trump target those states??

Texas. I wish they’d just secede already.

@Demosthenes You mean my governor? He has done some things that have really bothered me, but I can tell you the national media is a piece of garbage half the time only telling select parts of what is going on in my state and in my opinion endangering our lives. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is.

This whole thing about our beaches now opening, my Governor never completely closed the beaches. He has said over and over again that we can exercise on the beach, walking, jogging, just like a sidewalk, but to keep our distance.

I guess Jacksonville had completely closed their beaches like South Florida, which my Governor has consistently said that counties and cities can always put in stricter orders than his orders, the governors orders are the minimum.

We have counties under curfew for weeks now, we have counties that don’t allow churches to be open (although I will say here the governor did that whole church thing for political reasons obviously) and the governor has completely supported stricter orders in these counties. The political TV stations barely make mention.

Now, all over the news Florida’s beaches are OPEN. Ugh. I just wanted to tell the TV to shut the hell up. It should have been a soft opening at the local level in JAX and not some big event, and see how it goes.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the TV stations reporting where things are amiss, but they need to tell the whole story if they give a damn about keeping people safe, but they won’t because they just see DiSantis littie Trump and get ratings (money) for crucifying him. No matter what he is my governor right now, whether I voted for him or not. If you listen to him in his press conferences he is not ALL bad.

I’ve written his office twice in the last month, because I felt he was not addressing things in my state that I think are very important. He absolutely could have been better during all of this, but he has not been nearly as bad as people think and way better than the Governor of Georgia! His top health official Toomey should have her medical degree and license stripped from her.

@KNOWITALL Why CA? They seem to have done a great job slowing the spread, and they were way ahead on some things.

Sorry I misread the question. I just wanted to participate in the fun. I thought beach front property in Afghanistan was an original jest. Or did Bill Maher claim it before?
President Trump is like a Lex Luthor with hair and both were into real estate.

How big a part would it take?

It could have been fun, if you hadn’t forced your choice on us at the beginning…

LOL!

I kinda like all parts of Canada, take what you will south of the border,but leave the true north strong and free.

@JLeslie The question was only related to Coronavirus as far as ending it. I simply picked the areas I personally don’t admire politically for various reasons.

@jleslie your governor wants to open schools already.
Also weird stuff goes on in your state. Like the 19 year old that was having dinner with his parents, jumps up, probably on drugs, and runs into a mans garage and eats his face. The man died. We have a segment on the radio once a week called What the Florida that tells weird true stories. I still have never heard what happened to face eater.

There are two radio stations here, one is in NYC and one is in Danbury CT, and they both have segments about true crime stories that are mind boggling, and both always make jokes about the weirdest incidents being from Florida.

I’d be fine with sacrificing all the southern states. The heat and humidity must make everyone crazy. :D

@jca2 Well, I have to agree we have crazy things happen here. LOL. We are similar to the Walmart photos people make fun of I think.

@chyna I haven’t heard about the schools. I am completely against that, and it seems ridiculous at this point since we are a month away from the last day of school, unless he also is proposing extending the school year? I still firmly think schools should remain closed.

The school thing is like the mask thing to me. It was obvious masks would help stop the spread from everything the health officials said, even though they also said we shouldn’t wear masks, they completely contradicted themselves. It was also obvious to me they were telling us not to wear masks so healthcare workers would have the. School will definitely spread the virus wildly in my opinion. Maybe they want the kids to get it to help protect the population. I am extremely skeptical about their intentions with that. Obviously, if kids get it the parents will get it too, and then we all get it.

Mississippi

I just googled and DeSantis, the Florida governor, is not opening schools.

I don’t know how that conversation went. Maybe he originally did not do the order for all year and had to decide whether to extend it? I watched his conversation with the press yesterday and I don’t remember schools being mentioned. I missed the very beginning though. Thank goodness he didn’t try to open them.

NYC Mayor DiBlasio already said the beaches and pools in NYC will remain closed all summer.

@jca2 That’s good, but sad for kids that they can’t swim. Do you have a pool at your house?

Mar a largo in Florida.

It’s Florida because that fucking state should be under water already anyway. That and because of alligators. My second choice is California.

This question wins the internet today.

Call me a bitch, but I’m sacrificing YOUR country, in entirety. I happen to love all of mine.

@JLeslie: I live on a lake with a beach. I rarely swim in it. My friend nearby lives in a community with a pool. It’s looking doubtful whether the pool will open this summer. We’ll see.

@jca2 All of our community pools here have been closed for about 3 weeks (there are over 80 pools in my community/city I think?). They tried to keep them open but people were having pool parties. Some people just can’t govern themselves so we all get nothing.

I remember Sprain Ridge pool in your county, I loved the four lane slide. I learned how to dive in the 6 ft at that pool with my dad.

@Jonsblond That’s interesting that they are coming in from other states. I hope WI stays completely inside. Let those crazy out of state people catch the Covid. Those people are not worried about their jobs I don’t think. I really believe most of them are similar to my friend, afraid of government taking over and marshal law and some are outright anarchists. My friend is not protesting, just afraid.

Lock your doors. Seriously. Trump is inciting these people it is terrifying to me.

I’d pick Washington, DC over Florida or anywhere else.

California tops my list.

Why California?

Because it’s full of homeless people and illegals and Hollywood douchebags. :P

I love California though (mainly for its beautiful geography—I mean, come on, nothing in Texas or Florida beats the splendor of Yosemite and the redwoods).

But maybe I’ll pick Delaware because what even is Delaware? It’s a state whose most notable city bears the name of a larger more notable city in a different state. Talk about expendable.

Yeah, I’m voting for Delaware.

Scotland

Puerto Rico & Alaska.

Alaska?!!!? When the polar ice is melted, Alaska will be our best farmland!
I’m OK with Puerto Rico, but get them cars first.

Hell if I have to give a section of Canada,I will go with Ottawa ,just make sure all our politicians are there first then have at it.

@JLeslie -I can do without the opinions of any celebrity that lives there.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Kansas…

@Dutchess_III I think that’s the point. I never think about Kansas. In a negative or positive sense. It’s just kinda there. :)

I had to drive through Kansas once. I made the return trip home through New Mexico and east Texas to avoid Kansas. That was not much better. Only good thing about Kansas is when you are done driving it you end up in Colorado. Colorado kicks ass.

Driving through Kansas is only fun for passengers because that state is meant to be slept through.

At least in Kansas you dont stop every 5 miles for a toll booth like Oklahoma. Terrible.

@KNOWITALL Aren’t the cash tolls suspended?

Kansas smells like burnt cowhide.

^^Funny you can tell when you are approaching a small town on the highway miles before you get there because there is this smell of feces in the air. Not sure if it’s wastewater or cattle farms.

@JLeslie I don’t know, I avoid OK like the plague. All the casino’s are closed now, so none of us are going.

Everyone with an odd zip/postal code. Also 90210 just because.

Thanos with a grudge against teen drama television.

OK is OK. Crappy roads, but they have nice lakes and some excellent resturaunt.
They also have the Arbuckle Mountians with a drive through zoo where the animals are free.

Kool! I’m gonna go pick out a free animal.

@Patty_Melt
Maybe a wild big cat

Good luck stuffing that giraffe in the trunk @Patty_Melt. ;)

Ha ha! I was thinking more along the lines of something I could ride home.

LOL!!
