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 !

I Like Your Post A Whole Lot. Truly the first time I saw the N.J. guy say that the U.S. Constitution is above his pay grade it NOTHING but showed me what my family who we have in Jersey have been telling me. They are rudderless.
I'm not ready to check out yet but I may have no say in the matter if I get nervous and jerky and don't do the thing that are best for me when the time is good. I don't NEED the Square, I Love the Pool But I'll be fine if i miss out on it. I'm mainly at peace the majority of the time. I think we all have our moments. If today is my day to go when then so be it. I hope it's not but it may not be my call unless I do something stupid. I trying to move slowly and making only smart moves.
Horse Puckey! Thats a good one Sherman Potter!
For me you never have to shut up now! Let 'Er Rip!
There is a lot of truth in your post.
