Only 725,000 jobs lost. But not Tony's!! Tony has not missed a paycheck in his entire career, and the rest of us can eat s^^^ and die.......which actually may happen.
Or maybe not.
...Researchers tracking smartphone data say they recently made a disturbing discovery: For the first time since states began implementing stay-at-home orders in mid-March to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, Americans are staying home less.Based on scattered news reports over the weekend, I suspect that there's a lot MORE 'moving around' than there was during the week ending 4/13, and since it's getting warm, that's not going to slow down.
The nationwide shift during the week of April 13 was relatively slight. However, any loss of momentum, particularly when stay-in-place orders remain in effect across most of the country, has some public health experts worried about "quarantine fatigue." Any increase in travel, they say, is premature when staying home remains the most effective way to limit the spread of the virus until widespread testing and contact tracing become available....quoted at AOSHQ
Little Tony might want to call his Capitol Police a little closer.
We need to be aware of expanding police forces. In the past, I would have approved. Protect citizens, apprehend criminals. Now, I see them as arms of growing tyranny. Protect criminals, apprehend citizens.
ReplyDeleteHard to be a dictator without muscle to enforce your unpopular will. At this point, the governors are starting to look really stupid as they give it their best shot. It’s dumb.
But ... with an enhanced, expanded police force with special brown or black uniforms .... and emergency powers to do whatever the governor says - muscle. Still dumb. Also dangerous. Watch for changing police dynamics.
