That debate continued on “Fox News Sunday,” with liberal pundit Marie Harf, a former adviser to then-Secretary of State John Kerry, suggesting that allowing some small businesses to open was essentially meaningless.

In response to a statement from host Chris Wallace that, while 66,000 people have died from coronavirus tens of millions have lost their jobs, Harf appeared to suggest that reopening small businesses wasn’t going to produce much in terms of bolstering the economy....

Democrats like their businesses nice and big, easier to control. That’s why they never enforce Anti-Trust Laws.

Small businesses in total provide more jobs than large corporations.

I wish harm to Harf. I usually don’t do that, but people like her are an exception.

Most of the jobs lost turn out to be essential in one way or another, even if only to teach the uninitiated things like good work habits, food preparation skills, dealing with customers, etc. Such learning does have a long-term effect in helping our economy prosper. Imagine an economy run by people with no people skills or other things learned at the “non-essential” jobs — the losses would be yuuuuuuuuge.

OTOH, if Harf Harf Harf lost her job, not a bit of harm would be done to our economy.

My guess is that the CHP will go wherever Gov Newsome sends them and at the mayor’s request that would be simple.

Then the question becomes one of adequate civil disturbance training and liability therefrom.

Using massed motorcycle cops against dissidents - that’s been done in other states.

If you’re not essential to Maria, you’re simply not essential.

You may be essential to yourself, but that’s not Maria’s problem.

So she has no concept of how our economy is structured - before we even get to which parts of it have been broken off the most by the lockdown.

She was always a leftist airhead. How she got into the govt foreign policy decision positions I don’t know unless the positions were “on her back or on her knees”.

Maga-Stupid is not enough to describe her lack of intelligence and common sense.
