I don’t say good things about Charlie Baker very often, but credit where credit is due – he made the unpopular but necessary decision to ban gatherings of 25 people or more and have restaurants and bars only do takeout starting on Tuesday. Look folks, either this is an epidemic or it’s not a big deal. And most people who actually know what they’re talking about (ya know, doctors and scientists) say it’s a big deal. The disease spreads by simply touching things that infected people have touched. It’s probably not gonna kill you if you get it, but a shit ton of people will get it if life goes on as normal, and millions of people could potentially die.

If it is a big deal then there can’t be half measures. We can’t have some events shutting down and other events taking place. There’s still a ton of morons out there doing the whole, “tHe fLu KiLls mOrE pEoPle” thing, so clearly humankind is too stupid to know what to do in the case of an epidemic like this and can’t be trusted to do the right thing on their own. Allow me to quote former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, the architect of Cold War policy during the 1950’s.

The government’s job is to protect citizens. And right now that means protect us from the spread of a highly contagious disease. Sure, libertarians will complain, but everyone hates those assholes anyway.

I am aware that this is easy for me to say since I can work from home, and the economic impact this will have on millions of Americans will be like nothing we’ve seen before. The solution to that is simple – more government. It literally exists for shit like this. The government has never been bigger than it was during World War 2. Factories were forced to convert to wartime production, curfews were put in place, professional sports leagues were shut down, non-essential nightclubs were closed, rationing limited what people could buy, and anyone with Japanese ancestry had to live in a camp.

And guess what happened? We won. Because that’s what happens when Americans unite around a dangerous entity that must be destroyed.

In the meantime the government has to do a bunch of liberal shit I’d normally be against:

• Forgive mortgage and rent payments for people who can prove they were forced out of work by the restrictions
• Treat this like an actual war and sell bonds and other things, then use the money to give financial relief to employed people who aren’t collecting paychecks
• Spend billions of dollars on relief to help people who need it (not people like me and others who will continue to get paid, or free loaders who weren’t working before coronavirus)
• Use the power of the federal government to do what Charlie Baker did nationwide. There is no point of having bans like this if you can go to Rhode Island and spread the disease in a crowded bar there

That brings me to this asshole:

His name is Dennis Rack and he’s the manager of the Endicott Grille in Danvers. Today he woke up and decided that he was gonna try out for Turtleboy by posting this dumbassery.

See that? That’s why the government has no choice but to step in. Because morons like this can’t be trusted to do the responsible thing. Newsflash – it’s never gonna stop spreading if we keep doing business as usual. More people will get sick and your business will be affected far worse in the long run.

Just in case it wasn’t clear that he gave zero fucks he added this too….

Here’s my question – who’s the owner? If I owned a business and hired a GM who went out of his way to behave in a manner that ended up with my business being shamed on Turtleboy, I’d probably hire a different GM. Just sayin.

He just couldn’t stop responding to every person who rightfully called him out for being a nudnik.

Hey dipshit – you’re not protecting your workers by increasing the chances that they’ll be exposed to a contagious disease.

And he hosted a St. Patrick’s Day event over the weekend which seemed to be exclusively for people in the demographic that is most likely to get coronavirus and die.

I hope each and every person in those pictures gets coronavirus. They all deserve it.

Oh, and just in case you thought this guy couldn’t get any worse, look who he’s in bed with…

Greg “Master” Bates. The asshole who uses a Facebook group to shakedown north shore restaurants into paying him to eat for free at their restaurant, reports no income, doesn’t pay child support, never gave donated money to an autism charity, rigged gift card giveaways that were won by his Facebook aliases, said that he had to budget sex money in the divorce settlement, and once told his kids he was gonna kill himself for attention.

If you hang around shit too long you start to stink like it.
