Yeah, bring us jugs of gas.

I challenge you to prove this is not just some appeal to emotionalism. I have worked with children and the ones who have to eat out of the garbage are the ones whose parents are neglectful. Besides I have been through hell and back and I live a sacrificial life devoted to my children. So take your emotionalism out the back door and calm down.

Big whoop, on a farm everybody works, but you don’t ask your kids to do things you wouldn’t do, and dumpster diving is one of them.

You are obviously overwrought and I have nothing further to say to you.

Let them have their damn Marathon.
If they can stage a Marathon in the midst of all this, then they also show there is absolutely no reason to postpone the election.
Bread and Circuses. Well, at least a Circus.

Forgive me, I wasn’t aware I was conversing with a saint.

It’s a good idea for 2 reasons:
1 - a sense of normalcy is good for people in bad times, a reason to celebrate helps the brain
2 - It’ll put NYC on TV for 3 hours and recovery donations will flow in like crazy
