The crowd in control now will NEVER get anything accomplished (save for epic levels of graft) for all the reasons Michael Lewis cited. If the spectacularly epic level of incompetence in Trump's government doesn't alarm you, then you, my friend, are brain dead. The only sane response is to shelter in place until the nightmare of the Trump administration is over. The fact that so many knuckle dragging mouth breathers are incapable of understanding that is alarming. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Many other americans do not if you are in favor of keeping people locked in their houses until Jan 20th 2021 here is a cluex4, starving people with starving kids will start looting long before then shit will get real bad real quick. Now I realize I am very lucky to be able to work from home but many people do not have that option. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

I am lucky to be able to work from home with (so far) no disruption to my paycheck. I understand that better than anyone. But having people "go back to work" is not the answer right now. Once again, Bernie's got the right idea: "A furloughed German worker retains 90-100% of his salary, while his American counterpart is struggling to obtain unemployment benefits. Unacceptable," Sanders tweeted, linking to a VICE article by journalist Clio Chang contrasting how the U.S. and German governments are responding to the economic downturn caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/04/20/congress-must-cover-paychecks-every-us-worker-says-sanders-laid-americans-struggle The fact is opening up, for whatever reason, this early is going to cost lives. It will lead (just as it did in 1918) to a second wave of infections. The "Flu Epidemic of 1918" lasted until 1920. Maybe you're comfortable choosing who dies for the sake of a little commerce. Me, not so much. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Barr: Justice department may join lawsuits against lockdowns Attorney general William Barr raised the possibility that the justice department may eventually join lawsuits against stay-at-home orders if states repeatedly extend them. “We have to give businesses more freedom to operate in a way that’s reasonably safe,” Barr said on The Hugh Hewitt Show today. “To the extent that governors don’t and impinge on either civil rights or on the national commerce – our common market that we have here – then we’ll have to address that.” Barr went on to add, “We’re looking carefully at a number of these rules that are being put into place ... And if we think one goes too far, we initially try to jawbone the governors into rolling them back or adjusting them. And if they’re not and people bring lawsuits, we file statement of interest and side with the plaintiffs.” Barr’s comments come days after Trump called on states under stay-at home orders – specifically Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia – to be liberated, echoing messaging from right-wing protesters. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/apr/21/coronavirus-us-live-trump-temporarily-bans-immigration-cuomo-massachusetts-hotspot-new-york-latest-news-updates?page=with:block-5e9f35698f08e5935f266459#block-5e9f35698f08e5935f266459 Far too many people in this country are allowed to vote. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
