4) The stat is of the bottom 40% of American wage earners, the median wage is 20k. And actually, I fudged that one up. The income is lower. This ain't 1950.
5) The face of Michigan yesterday (and Kentucky today) looks like the same face that thought spreading coronavirus was a great way to bring down the "deep state." In fact, more than a month ago, members of white nationalist groups were arrested. They had called for their members to purposefully get infected because it was their duty to spread the virus. Michigan, if you'll recall, has been an origin point for both the larger militias and white nationalist groups going back decades.
6) I expect "millions on Facebook" are representative of something. Are they outnumbered by people who don't want second and third waves? I guess we'll have to wait and see.


I have no idea what you mean by "stealing someone else's quote." If by that you mean accurately quoting someone and holding them to the unvarnished meaning of what they have publicly said, well, that is why we have print.

Point one makes it clear where you stand and I appreciate you putting it out there.

You feel NO ONE should be working in service industry jobs while infection is a possibility. You want all restaurants and grocery stores shut down. Even though most of these people are not at risk of dying ( to most of us, you seem to think everyone will die of it), you want to PAY them to sit at home. Basically you want the country to shut down because people may end up on the toilet with a high fever.

While you have come off as unhinged during this, you are getting worse. The constant bashing of people who have more than you (maybe, don’t know your finances) makes no sense. These people are keeping America going while you are shacked up like Howard Hughes, afraid of your shadow. Now you think we all should be like you, never leaving the house.

I’m sure they are proud you are sticking up for their best interests, while they are working to feed their families, along with all of ours.

Is it any wonder many say liberalism is a disease?

As for the stealing someone’s quote, it was me stealing Singers about you. It took me years, but I know understand why he replies to you with “Weird, just Weird”.
