‘Even if we wanted to keep people locked in their houses for a year, wiping out entirely the American economy,...’

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Why the hyperbole? If you have a sound rebuttal to what is being offered leave false comparisons out of the discussion.

Interesting wisdom coming from a man dependent on government bureaucracies.

"MOBILITY is your #1 priority.

Frankly, I'd say it should be PROFIT. You're not in business to be safe. And mobility is just one service you offer. But if you can't offer it at a profit, you're not going to be in business long anyway.

Me too!

He has always been a voice of reason.

In the mean time I found out Friday I’ve been laid off and my Mom, in a nursing home, has made a bad dive.

Lordy, I need to roll up my shirt sleeves, when I just want to start to cry. Won’t. But more dependent on my friends and family.

“But interesting that government workers will not notice any difference in their pay. They should ALL have to forego getting a paycheck. It is sickening”

And teacher.

So many state employees are exempt. Many of us are not.

Does it look like your layoff will be for a short time, or indefinitely?

Do depend on your family and friends, and be there for them. This is going to be a bad couple of months, and worse than terrible for many.

Thomas Sowell is a never-Trumper sucking off the taxpayer teat through subsidized endowments at Stanford University's Hoover Institute..

You might notice he didn't list education as being dependent/administered by government bureaucracy.

Sowell's Hoover Institute gave Trump McMasters and Mattis... No friend of Trump or his policies...And they knew it.

Judging by some of Sowell's and other pinhead's writings about the election they might as well have joined Hillary's and the news media's wailing at their pity party for her loss.

Thomas Sowell is a fraud and huge disappointment.

The only person from the Hoover Institute that has shown any class is Victor Davis Hansen...A former never-Trumper
