Introduction/Definition/etc
So after Ranting/
talking back to media,
all the negative messages,
only responding to some
with some made up dialogue
of banking while the crash takes
people's life saving,
so what if Social Security Got Some,
instead of excluded
likely not enough,
never is, never was,
but what if things got to normal,
what would that be?

With the SocialDistancing2020
I've been staying in a lot more,
say going out about 2 times / week,
for food, water, postal, take trash out,
all in one big massive outing,
most times, etc...
Check your mailbox, right, 3 weeks,
might get something, but really direct deposit
for most tax payers, with information given
last tax season, might be a way of updating,
that, will see, file this year, early, or some
other way mentioned some places,
but plans, etc being worked on, so guesses,
likely, most likely will have to file,
maybe taxed on what you may get,
maybe not, that way when up and running,
again if that ever happens, they get money
back, give some, take some back
$SOME being a variable...
But it's not proportional,
the upper crust got nothing,
but really likely did,
reports of Retirees getting a Tax Holiday,
and Capital Gains, supposedly those with
something to risk, got to do what?
don't bet it if you can't lose it,
and other investing advice/
standard ways of doing things,
like fake news, fake money, favors
those that can fake it, i guess,
being over clever, but Trump having
used BankRuptsy, (sp?)
restructuring may have seen how to
do Chapter 11, Chapter 13, etc
for reorganizing, and changing and writing
things off, where most probably haven't...
Oddly it appeared that anyone would not get
something directly, but seems like things might
have been hidden, i tried reading the legislation,
and read between the lines, nothing mentioned
directly about Social Security, but it wasn't finalized
when i read it, i was reading from what people
sent out to lists, news responses, to YouTube
on a CNN report or similar, military retirees,
and social security got nothing,
one thought, and someone sent a link
to the bill, which seemed to have started out as
something else, and all this others stuff got added,
so not sure, how we got where we were,
takes so long to create a bill
Old ChildHood Film How A Bill BeComes A Law,
and all that, pushed to put it in a middle income
tax break bill, but will see...
Having stayed in so much, had to get out,
and went to my usual haunts,
got clearance stuff,
Water Filters and Purifiers
activated carbon for most of what i have,
only really gets chlorine,
so what filtering systems you get determines
what it stops, this time a pregnant
woman with kids and husband,
i tried saying some stuff too,
having picked up what i thought i might be able
to buy, the $35-50 pitcher with one filter,
say Brita Stream, Target house brand,
and some Zero, which looking up an association
of water filtering/ purification, perhaps a non profit
shell for the dominating ones in the market,
are suing over false advertising,
so some doubts about that,
but $12 or so plus tax,
all i had, give three filters, for a portable
at about 20-40 gallons each filter,
say a month or three, for each,
six month supply, but that's just carry around,
coffee mug like, drinking water,
and doesn't filter most of what i likely
have which is biological not chemical,
purification, not just filtering, so
UV (UltraViolet) kills bacteria,
and microorganisims, like for boat
Water Makers, i'd like for the apartment,
the filtered water, when we had a water
problem, was not enough, still had to boil,
which is a problem, not always able to,
while walking around and will get worse,
now that it's warmer...
My body got used to filtered, somehow,
and have been sick a couple times
since, tried tap, and ran to the bathroom,
while local problem kids say they caused
it amazingly they take credit for anything
bad that happens with me,
street cred and hate,
mostly,
Kill/Beat Up Whitey Day
learned from the Sam Holmes video
he got screamed off a mooring /
beach in Hawaii by a motorboater,
and the responses went to something
that i've had problems with, hate crimes,
bias crimes, and gang school like violence,
which went to legislation, and other issues,
so May 1 used to be a May Day,
and some repurposed it to be hate Whites day,
or similar, a free shot at White People, some think,
one day a year, some think to get even
for oppression for what people go through,
some think, but in Hawaii, natives,
Captain Cook, have the native women,
then killed for something bringing disease,
small pox, whatever, killed natives,
and natives killed back, colonization
and stuff, i could not get the history straight,
and people commenting on a largely
unrelated video, not the most reliable
sources, but eventual al ink to something
to research, look up, and was WikiPedia,
generally somewhat fair and balanced,
though likely liberal as well...
It can be flagged and i'm flagging my
last post as a bit over the top,
but desperate times, unprecedented,
but look at the Spanish Flu and see
some precedent, history repeats itself,
we are not immune to everything,
despite hundred(s) of years,
volcanos (sp?), etc,
back to biblical, while i'm not religious,
ancient description of what happens after
massive volcanic activity, (some theories
to explain some stuff, etc)
Anyways,
and stores have finally caught on somewhat,
generally people ignore it, and push too close,
no enforcement, and people handle the same
stuff, while clerks are covering up, masks,
gloves, somehow they got them but not
available to us, the customers,
so dirty money, station not cleaned,
and we get sick, they likely are now the
new FrontLines, like military,
and InstaCart is Striking,
Amazon Striking some place,
one facility, and the risks are rippling through
the industries, anything customer facing
public facing, seen as higher risk...
Normal Books Etc
Libraries closed,
the book mobile how to stat relevant,
I asked for how do they sanitize the books,
and got nothing...
In my case all due on the same day,
all 40 books or so that are out,
and NationalEmergencyLibrary,
on Archive.org or similar, and more
books available electronically,
I had BeComingByMichelleRobinSonObama2019
back this Year 2020
and read more, got into some new stuff,
her father died, and that was down,
stopped around there, and on to
Senate elections, babies,
transition from corporate law
to Public Interest and the University
separation as he was traveling
away until Thursday night,
and the wedding, meeting Hawaii
family, etc..
But not finished, some most to do,
never got the Winter Book Challenge
Perk, for reading, not reading full books
and slowed down that stuff,
but stepped up to walking in the cold/cooler,
weather, stuck inside, walking in the cold
not as bad for me, feet still a problem,
trimmed some dead skin, and other problems,
swelling and cramping, charlie horse,
15 miles yesterday,
doing errands, my usual stuff,
Tour de Clearance Isles,
Farmer's Market(s)
they ran, not much on display, preorder
but some onsite available, not all vendors,
got some photos of signs and one market,
others are seasonal and had more time
than the all year ones, to keep running,
a petition with the Virginia Governor,
and they kept, not essential,
anymore than Liquor Stores
(quick abrupt discontinuing drinking
for alcoholics can lead to seizures,
while other drugs, get into problems
on the way up (narcotics) and down
(for downer/ too far, qualudes (sp?), etc),
but i digress...
Normal Lines
So stores, where big waiting lines
mentioned elsewhere, in previous postings,
anywhere people congregate,
some restaurants, and places limit to 10 people,
and form a line outside, but lines bunch people
up and are a problem, lines for checkout,
they don't really care about us,
(profits and staying open, in business
Trump our safety needs, imnsho)
but now at least pretending
with taped 6 feet, stand in lines type things
but narrow isles and can't get by,
some people insist on talking to me,
and look away type stuff, could still
hear, but not get the micro spray
like a sneeze but less dramatic,
so like a smoker or someone in the cold
you can see the air/ particles,
and range to about 6 feet,
but sneeze and cough and that
goes further, think lunging contest
spitball contest, and much further,
into sleeve, elbow, etc then bumping
elbows, oh i forgot, i coughed/ sneezed
today, not that great a feeling after the fact,
someone you cared enough to greet,
say hi to, whatever, not handshaking,
and what i have most problem with
is talking closely to people,
one woman near what i was going by
and i asked about Kinetic Sand,
clings somehow, to itself, i asked how,
guessed capillary action
(how it stays in a thin tube,
hematicrit (sp?) blood draw like sample size )
(guessing after the fact particles shape?)
talked about what she was buying
then as thanks later on i start talking
about RobotFest, likely cancelled this year,
but sometime and start coughing,
my first of the day, and likely
her three boys she was talking matchbox
like trucks each different, tell them apart,
competing, likely
sibling rivalry, what to fight over
and then i was to self isolate,
quarantine one one cough,
difficulty breathing, about 10 miles
into the walk, no food, and pollen
mid day heat, and something like
cleaning/ sprayed, etc
attack like, not asthma, but
someone coming up behind you
and then you can't breath,
i had given someone my last quarter,
had spent all the change, she had
coins but not a quarter for the Aldi Cart,
unlocking, i mentioned cleaning
sweaty and walking so
a local CVS had wipes publicly available,
and i had a collection in my back pocket,
but also the blow nose, sniffle,
sneeze like used paper towels, tissues,
so mixed bag,
and generally walk someplace exercise
cold to warm, and changes, nose usually
runs, as temperature difference, say 40
to 60 degrees out,
Normal Nose Dripping
anyways, like a dog, if my nose it not wet,
something may be wrong, as self propelled
to get places, be it walking to biking,
and blood and respiratory and the temperature
radiator leak like, autonomic A/C system,
normalizing temperature for little lung
not to freeze, get too warm, and liquids
are how that happens, my throat
been odd, but likely lack of laundry,
saving coins and ended up using them
for water filters, Tour de Clearance isle
items, saving some on not going out,
not using as much laundry,
but days in and skin get redder,
happened when i was shut in for depression
more, still a problem, say a few days
stay in and no showering, not reason if not
going out, but my skin gets bad,
red, like Lupus like no sun to disinfect,
so what one looks like doesn't help,
inactive, and exercise inside, not really
possible, gyms closed,
i've started photographing door signs,
and need to put them up on gMaps
gMaps2019
seems like a public service,
originally what bathrooms in an emergency,
where could/ would i stop,
but now what is even open,
not even places i've been in,
or a long time, but are they an option,
if walking 5-10-15-20 miles,
where would i be able to stop,
get water, is it clean,
use a bathroom, buy a snack,
soda, if blood sugar might be low,
hadn't eaten all day, bought stuff,
but didn't take the time to eat anything,not
charging either, and stopped taking pictures,
as battery got low, approaching 20%
and OpenGPS the miles, with separate
occasionally working, display likely caput (sp?),
got wet, so route checking on gMaps
and distance comparing bet steps,
route, and other meters, comparing for
accuracy, no set standard, up stairs,
more calories, as climbing and more distance
too as say 45 degree up, is a2+b2=c2
edges of isoceles (sp?)
and other math i'm forgetting
as opposed to a say 6% grade on a road,
stairs are more stressful, requires more energy
to climb stairs than a steep hill as hills can't
be driven/ shoveled, landscaped for drainage,
etc...
Normal Finances
Well some other stuff may seem normal,
Finances, after video
of a sailing couple, married or not, never figured
that out, but if i say i'm living on
~$1500/ month
that is a lot for an SSI person,
but SSDI with a work history and
enough work quarters to qualify,
but rent at $400 about 1/3
subsidy, might be missing
at $800/ month
storage at $500/ month
I had a house, and keeps me out of a hospital,
food donated mostly, but seems to be
the remainder,
i usually send out bills
$150 cable with internet
$45 phone landline
$25 natural gas
$30 electricity
and get cash back, along the way,
get $10/ rolls of quarters, where i can,
say 3 of those per month,(specialty laundry
back from BedBugs still piled up,
takes dry cleaning, and camp gear washing,
not not mentioned old Moto jackets,
teddy bears, graduation cap, gown,
pillows, sleeping bags, comforters,
etc)
and that is the stuff i generally
use for end of month and spend the
remainder, flaring up like a helicopter,
going so low but not crashing
as desperation spending is a problem,
feeling so deprived can't buy anything
have anything different to eat,
Normal Pantry Items
than
what is normally given,
I've put up what we usually get
chicken/ fish or hot dogs
1/2 gallon milk
carton medium eggs,
dried beans
rice/ pasta
oatmeal
greens/ eggplant/ misc "fresh" produce
tomatoes/ etc
potatoes
apples/ oranges
and cans tomatoes, soup, fruit
misc usually at least a day old bread
sometimes moldy
and sometimes dessert/ sweets
pie/ donuts/ usually at least day old,
but many times without even explanation (sp?)
nor apology, no we don't have it,
not delivered (rainy hot, not volunteers, etc)
and don't care, aren't eating like that,
etc...
On holiday weeks, at the warehouse
more free/ doesn't count against quota,
but also getting there, waiting outside,
no bathroom,
BagCheckTheLineWoman2019
2x bread,
FreeBees/ doesn't count against quota,
just expired,
etc get more by going there,
but carrying it all back,
buses not helpful to me,
as can't use cart, and costs,
etc...
Bills, piling up,
cut off again, suspended
so they want $85 to keep on,
seasonal things like renter's insurance
moto insurance,
po box fee, etc all due shortly,
quarterly
Worst thing now is threats
because the county/ through HCV
Section 8
abusive
claiming i'm not going my part
and tried stealing the voucher
never retested/ reinspected
and claimed failed when he didn't show
up after what may have been an
imposter,
the reverse discrimination and hate
Latino only office, maintenance,
and African/Latino/Asian HCV office,
etc sort of an organization
Kill Whitey institutionalized...

many people now experiencing
what stay at home
no to not much income
can't go anywhere,
not clean enough by some insane

Muslims Catholics all clean enough
within themselves, but OutSiders
(see
Little Inn at Washington (VA)
video on PBS how a gay chef
from the 1970s received by a town
some haters, etc keying
thinking they would get aids by eating there,
and generally don't like change in a rural
community, just getting a
3rd Michellin (sp?) Star
after 40 years of restaurant operation
critiquing all sorts of things lack of
pronouns, noun, verb,
me run on sentences,
etc...

See my last post for link
TheBikeHouseCoop2015
doing a FaceBookLive
but i'm not a FaceBook person
so excluded that way too...
Arlington County so many millenials (sp?)
and that org has used them too,
iirc. so not really something everyone
can join, the choice of providers,
like CompuServe / AOL,
M$ only type stuff, and not a client,
can't do all sorts of things
Zoom and other SocialDistancing2020
problems maybe in another post,
at that page?
TimeForAChange2020
one of many, before the big wave hit
here, and some of the issues,
personally mentioned ,but ignored
now everyone has to,
by law, but enforcement, how?
Trump finally showing some emotion
(FaceEmo?) on his home town
NYC? being dead meat wagons
and Biden and Trump a Tie
for who we like the least,
i guess...
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Lots of stuff going on,

but everyone?

Finances
Emotional responses to stuff,
and what was normal,
for whom?
by what baseline?
If effected by the Virus
Bailed Out?
Corporations/ Jobs, but individuals
too?
DisasterPlanning
and Econ Collapse,
the problems and pirating
LandLords, Brookings Institute
tracing where LandLord Money goes
their mortgage, maintenance,
cost of doing business, taxes,
tax credits, etc,
but mostly some say saved in gold
instead of the market,
and end up owning all sorts of things,
not a privilege most people may have
much less SSDI/SSI Retirees/
ThePoor, etc experience...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What effects has the recent events had on you?
Built a business on telecommuting?
Are you TeleCom raking it in, on usage charges?
Face To Face not your Thing,
so didn't want to see all those sniveling
coughing, sneezing biped/ people anyways?
How do you meet your interpersonal needs?
Phone good enough, hear someone/things
voice/ bark/ meow / whinny etc
and that's enough?
Or like me have those abusive history
nastiness coming back when Trump/
the System or whatever PTSD
type things facelessly/ Talking Head
victimizing on all fronts?
And Talking Back to The Media/
Talking Heads/ (Fake?)NewsReports?
