This AM I had to go to Gainesville (ewwwwww). In the waiting area of a facility they had local radio on - talking about "what if the stadium had been filled"....um, yeah. There was over a weeks notice. No one from the game that was not there on the day it wasnt was hurt - going to the non existent game....but, lets panic.

Ok -well - insurance came through...only $12K for the car, but frankly that is $6K more than i paid for it. So I feel ok, even after the money on maintenance i spent on it. Now, it is a matter of what to buy....I am currently unemployed as well, so I am not going to drop a lot. I am thinking $20K ... whatever I buy will be an addition to the 2024 RAM 2500 I have. Oh - and cop this...wife just totalled her car during the storm 2 nights ago! Unreal. hahahahahaaha.....just gotta laugh.

The libs (*****libs as Jimmy Dore says) have that panic thing you refer to, down to a science.
Step 1. Prepare for panic, or at least pre panic.
Step 2. Concoct a crisis(never let a good crisis go to waste), typically out of whole cloth(like glow bull warming).
Step 3. Cry, throw tantrums, protests, scream like a banshee about how the current crisis is existential.
Step 4. Accuse anyone involved of being a racist, misogynist, homophobic Natzee( N. A. Z. I.).
Step 5. Call them Heetler(H. I. T. L. E. R.)
Step 6. Declare they must be stopped by any or all means
Step 7. Repeat all of the above, never back down, double, triple quadruple(to infinity) down.
Step 8. If the worst possible result of your campaign happens(like what has already happened twice to Trump), take no responsibility.
Step 9. If the public catches on to your tactics, and gets tired of being called racist, misogynist, homophobic, and the shock value of those accusations has long lost any effect, go to step 10.
Step 10. Light your hair on fire, run around in circles like a maniac, scream like a banshee, and at the top of your lungs shout that the world is coming to an end unless you vote(D).
Step 11. While your hair is still on fire, claim that conservatives want to burn black churches(it almost always turns out to be a lib somewhat like the Jusse Smollett scam), they want to throw granny off a cliff(especially if she is in a wheelchair), put you in chains(a favorite line of Biden), raype you, hoping that you get pregnant and have to get an abortion, and poison the apple pie that is fresh out of the oven, and setting on the kitchen window sill to cool down for dinner.
Step 12. Repeat as necessary (lather rinse, repeat).

Holy cow, I just noticed that you can’t post the word sheeeeeet(like the linen you make your bed with). My attempt to avoid the word **** was converted to all asterisks. Imagine that.

In the many aspects in life (of sales people) - if you can not convince them, confuse them. Once they are confused, scare them. Once they are scared, take their money.
