This is not a hurricane, which is an unpredictable local event. This is a manufactured crisis taking over an entire nation.
We’re all gonna die, 100% certain. I’d be perfectly happy to take the risk and have my kids inherit a great, functioning country and economy. I’m going to die and so are you...I may die sooner than you, since I’m in my early 70s - but we’re all gonna die.
I don’t want to drag the rest of the world down with me. And God loves us (and hates death) and if you trust in God, you will be fine.

Although I'm 73 I've read a lot of history about the Great Depression and heard from my grandparents. This time it would be worse as almost no one lives on a farm and can supply their own food.

Now the Dems would battle anything for advantage and to deny Trump a victory.
