I agree; it’s looking more likely by the day.

The coming age of dispersion.
We’ve been wanting to get out of the city for a long time. Most people don’t realize how large and empty the American west is, including California itself. New technology is going to make it increasingly possible and affordable to live comfortably off the grid.
Kid Gloves For We, But Not For Thee
There seems to be a deep-seated, long-time culture of corruption at the Department of (In)Justice. This would explain why they thought they could get away with what they did to the Trump campaign and administration.
Democrats Block The Bailout
Wow. Look at that headline.
When you’ve lost the New York Times, you’ve lost anti-America.

We will remember the Democrats’ stimulus hold up.
I hope so. I certainly will.

Bad Regulations
Yes, the best response next time would be to shut down the CDC and FDA. Even Cuomo admitted that the regulations were slowing things down.

Stop panicking over bad data.
I won’t be surprised to find out when this is all over that the mortality rate was one in a thousand.

The Luxury Of Apocalypticism
The “elites” are angry that they can’t get us to panic.
Bigelow
…has become a casualty of the virus (and perhaps overzealous government in Carson City).
Bigelow has had ups and downs for years, perhaps because of an incoherent business plan. He was expecting transportation to come along a lot sooner than it has, without doing anything to help it along other than promise demand.
NASA’s Latest Excuse
SLS will be further delayed by the virus.
But they’ll continue to be paid, so the overruns will just be higher.
[Late-afternoon update]
I wish that publications wouldn’t report this as a fact: “The Space Launch System is a powerful deep space rocket to transport astronauts to the Moon and beyond while Orion is the crew module.”
At least say that “NASA claims that…”
Safer At Someone Else’s Home
California turned up the screws last night, but extermination is an exempted activity, so the fumigators are still coming today, and we’re still driving up to Cambria (and returning Monday) with the cats. If anyone stops us, I’m pretty sure that once we explain the situation, we’ll be waved on. But there is still plenty of traffic on the highways (though nothing like normal), so no reason to pull us over (unless I actually do something wrong). I may be a little less leadfoot than usual.
[Saturday-morning update]
Probably the quickest trip from LA to Cambria ever–about three and a half hours, which was good because we had a crying cat. Traffic was light, and moving along at 80 mph on the freeways. More anon.
