House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) has decided "against returning to Washington for the foreseeable future. With so many of our members being in the decrepit geezers cohort of the population, it's just too dangerous. We're going to follow Dr. Fauci's advice and shelter at home until a COVID vaccine is developed."
The Speaker hastened to reassure concerned citizens "not to worry about us. We'll be okay. As essential government workers our full salaries continue to be paid. So even the poorest among us will be able to survive for the duration. On top of this, we'll be saving taxpayers the cost of paying for our travel back-and-forth from our districts to the capital."

NO SHOW==NO PAY
Then they can’t do any harm. No one’s life or livelihood is safe when Congress is in session.
I expect Pelousi to try and move the House of Representatives to California and try to set up an “alternative” government now that all of her other coup attempts have failed.
I’m just glad we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.
And they’ll be supporting essential local gourmet ice-cream businesses.
