Swartz is part of one of the “old money” dynasties.

So is Tom Wolf.

“We locked down. So we didn’t see 2 million dead. If we did nothing in March, we might. Want to take that bet?”

Yeah, I would take that bet. This virus is no worse than a flu. Your fear is pathetic.

I live about 8 miles south of York County. The county is nothing like the City of York. I used to drive to York to patronize Gander Mountain. Alas, they are gone.

"York County PA population: 449,000. 700 infections. .0015% 300 deaths. .0006%"

Check your math.

700 infections out of a population of 449,000 = .15%

300 deaths out of a population of 449,000 =.06%.

There are 83 political subdivisions within the County.

Spring Garden is one of two "First Class" Townships which is definitely turning bluer each election cycle. Swartz lives in the Fourth Ward which is truly flip-a-coin purple.

learner evidently didn’t know how to use Google street view and thought there was a link to the picture of the Swartz house.

I offered a quick tutorial.

If they don’t keep things shut down, they can’t stuff the ballots coast to coast in November.

People can wait in lines at grocery stores but OH NO for a month leading up to the election.

I saw Leftists irate that Bernie is still on some primary ballots, saying that it will needlessly bring more people to the polls. WHAT ABOUT THE DOWN BALLOT PRIMARY RACES???

They only want your straight party vote (or will manufacture one in your name). They don’t want “you” to actually have a say in all of those other races.

Pennsylvania ended straight-party voting, part of the same act which permitted "no excuse" mail in ballots.

"Any patron will be thinking the obvious: A business owner who is cavalier enough to violate the governor’s order and open too soon is also likely among those who have put themselves and others at risk by failing to wear masks, failing to social distance, failing to wash hands and failing to take other safety measures.

Oh please, shut the hell up. It's not mutually exclusive to want to open up early *and* wear masks, social distance, wash hands and to take other safety measures.

Just shut the hell up. I really want to know the writer's employment status.
