I certainly agree the economy is important, had the money that the govt. put out gone to the people who needed it, rather than a lot of big industry, and some of Trump's best friends, they could have survived being down. If we'd shut down perhaps no more than a month longer we'd not be getting the peaks now that are forcing us to shut down again.

In 2008 the Bush Administration threw out money much in the same way, when Obama took over they added some accounting to it, and much was actually paid back as they bailed out the likes of General Motors. The wealthy, like the DeVos's didn't need a thing, but I believe they got millions. Many of the small business owners got nothing, or very little. Teams like the Lakers got money, but gave it back after it was revealed, there is no doubt that billionaires that own teams like the Lakers are losing money this year, but they're in no way hurting. The funds went out to a lot of people or companies that really aren't hurting, while those who'll probably never get back into business have largely been abandoned.

Let them put out a list of all who received the funds, then you can compare it with who needed it. I feel for all who've lost their jobs, or lost their companies, but if the money had been properly spent, they would be okay, but clearly it wasn't. At least Betsy DeVos can now add another yacht to her fleet, good for her.

While I greatly admire your posts and your well thought out analysis I cannot agree with you on how Trump is handling this matter.
Opening up is fine IFdone mindful of all the guidelines set forth by the expert medical folkd such as Fauci and Gottlieb and more.
Trump "disses" Fauci, tells people they don't have to wear masks, doesn't set the example by wearing one himself,encourages the opening of schools without emphasizing the need for guidelines, etc etc'
His interest seems to be one sided without consideration of the cost of lives and the attention to details. In the meantime people are dying, hospitals beds are at a saturation point, medical personnel are stresses out to the limit, and cases are rising. But Trump has one thing in mind...
open up PERIOD.
I voted for him and he's done some good things for the country. But as a world leader and in this pandemic he's failed and failed miserably.
I don't know about you, but I've tuned him out. And I won't cast my ballot for dementia Joe either... So until we get a get a moderate independent who knows how to bring the country together, I'm sitting this one out.
