beginning to understand the 'living in a bubble' condition,,, no one has to work in tv - better make that, few need to work for financial reasons,,, a large majority ( & this is a wag ) have pensions/retirements in some way connected to government ( either fed, state, or municipal - teachers, dot's, quasi-public, even lotteries, etc ),,, they think they'll be unaffected financially to the extent the working public is experiencing.
HAH ! not so. while we sit back sheltering-in-place, our country's economic life's in shambles. governments have no $ - they take it from those who pay taxes, skim off enough to pay salaries, & return the rest thru grants. ny, il, ca, mi, pa, ct - they're bankrupt while having not yet filed. cities declare bankruptcy & DO file. yet everyone thinks we can keep on keepin' on. 1 thing i've learned - everyone's more than willing to hold hostage their children's & grandchildren's financial future. to me, clearly there is no solid answer other than the path suggested last evening
let those state governors govern - open their states for business while others keep their's closeted. in michigan, 1 can buy marijuana but not seeds for a garden ? that's lunacy. nj's governor remarks the freedoms of the u s constitution are 'above his pay grade.' horse=puckey !!!
yes, more will die. maybe even me but i've had a good life. since 64-67, have always thought today's a good day to die. how many more will die than the # while if staying sheltered ? only speculation.
reopening our country is a cost of freedom - the freedom to keep our country as we know it.
i think i better shut up now - enjoy your day !
