1. Super disappointing
Fri May 15, 2020, 12:33 PM
May 2020

If all these people needed to go back to work to make money...they had enough money to go to the bars? Our county still has some restrictions, but people on our neighborhood FB page are already linking businesses in neighboring counties for people looking for "desperately needed haircuts" for their kids. I'm so disappointed in the people in my state. We have been doing contractor work in our house and I have had to argue with workers to put a mask on when we are in the same room talking with them. Really not cool.

8. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has some real hypocrites onboard

Consider that the conservative majority threw out the Governor's stay safe plan allowing people to congregate in public.

Did anyone notice that the Court held their hearing on the issues virtually? Those bastards wanted to stay safe but they willingly let their fellow citizens go out in public.

Disgusting.

12. Evidence: they know what they do but they are not calling the shots

How could such obvious hypocrisy be displayed by such learned men who decide on keen observation, deep thinking, logic, evidence and legal precedence? They are so full of baloney because they are not in control!

Kochs, Bradleys, Hendricks, Ricketts, Uihlein et al have the power. Our so-called Blind Justice WI Supremos are chattel slaves to a class of elites who believe their will is the only way.

4. This is disapointing on so many levels.

Given a choice, people will not do the right, common sense thing.

I may go into isolation for the next 60 years. This level of douchebaggery is more the standard than the exception as of late.

Drinking is more a National pastime there than Baseball is here.

Yet they can manage to restrain themselves.

We're so fucked.

13. Today, we had the second highest number of new confirmed cases in one day.

Yesterday was the 4th highest. So it basically looks like the #SupremeIdiots opened us up in the middle of a peak. The next peak will be ugly.

14. Does this have anything to do with the opening of fishing season?

Or people coming up here (Lincoln County) to their cabins?

Or vacationers coming up from highly infected areas to "get away from it all"?

LOTS of campers/boats seen locally since the repugs forcibly opened the state up.

Yeah - open things up, repugs - spread the virus far and wide.
