All it says about him that he is a former intern for The Federalist who currently lives and works in Seattle, Washington. I suppose eventually we can figure out if he is a conservative or not.
I voted for Ross Perot in 1992. Was that wrong? Lived in Wyoming at the time.

If You Are Under Age 29, You Are More Likely to Drown than Die from Coronavirus!
By Jim Hoft
Published May 16, 2020 at 9:03pm
The number of deaths from coronavirus in the US has been plummeting since mid April.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) there were 78 coronavirus deaths in the United State in the 0 to 29-year-old age group this year.
The numbers were totaled from the week ending Feb. 1 2020 to May 9, 2020 during the current outbreak.
Those coronavirus victims under age 60 are also likely to have at least one comorbidity.

If no vaccine comes along and if the virus doesn’t die out, the possibility is that the future will have “rolling shutdowns” (perhaps seasonal) as the norm from now until the end of time, along laws mandating permanent “social distancing” measures (masks, keep x number of feet apart, only x amount of people allowed to do whatever, limited hours).
With a constant flow of people bringing it in from all four corners of the world via air & sea, the problem will be one with no end in sight.

“While strolling in a park one day.
In the merry, merry month of May.
I was taken by surprise, by a pair of thuggish guys:
Governor Inslee’s Gestapo/KGB.
They threw me into jail, for not wearing a face mask and a veil.
Governor Inslee’s Gestapo/KGB...”
The comment was meant for the author of the piece, NOT YOU, which you would have realized had you read with a little more discernment. Hell I know you’re not a leftist... OR a numbnuts!
I agree, that could be a problem. However, my point (hypothesis, whatever) is that the very nature of big cities breeds socialism (I won’t say ‘liberalism’, because that word doesn’t mean what Americans think it does). Change the environment, and you’ll change the people.
Why spend an exorbitant amount to live a lonely, isolated life in Seattle, when I could maintain an equally unsatisfying existence, for far less, somewhere else?
Have you considered suicide Mitch?
Oh honestly, the density is strong in this one.
“Extending Lockdowns Will Make Millennials Like Me Abandon U.S. Cities”
Rona or no Rona, it’s hard to imagine leaving a city for a town or rural area being anything other than a huge plus. Changed my life for the better, I’ll never go back to a city.
One thing I didn’t realize prior to my move: areas away from cities often have shortages of individuals with skills considered normal in cities. Which means you can really call your shots if you are skilled at most anything. Add the lower crime, less traffic, less liberals, happier, more polite people (including kids), better air, and less obtrusive government, the countryside has a lot to offer.
The guy who wrote this must be referring to a different Seattle than the one I know. It’s a horrible place and the traffic is terrible. In fact, I would rather drive in LA, which is crowded but nowhere near as rude as Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia.
It accelerates an existing trend.

No it won’t. People are rebelling after two months. Each later attempt to lockdown will result in quicker and larger rebellions.
he could just get a peloton...
covid-19 might be an angel in disguise.
prior to covid-19, i had been hearing with increasing frequency the notion that we are the richest country in the world, and therefore we should fund (name your liberal cause here).
after covid-19 struck, i have not heard that phrase.
so, maybe one net effect is that the population is slowly getting smarter on economics and public policy, in at least some ways...

Of course there will be people who complain about the measures, but that won’t impact the measures. Like complaining about the weather - everybody does it. Lets off some steam, though.
My little sister and her family live in Chicago.
Sis told her husband “We are leaving!”
Of course, they will continue to vote in Chicago long after I die.
The economic catastrophe this country willfully inflicted upon itself in the name of fighting a strain of flu that primarily kills the elderly residents of nursing homes is heartbreaking and staggering.
I lived in Chicago
Figured all that everything I wanted could be had cheaper somewhere else. Around people I like.
Good jobs also. Seems so many love big cities that smaller towns pay better in retaliative and absolute scale.
Not for everyone, but we love it.
Be sure to pay your student loan before you leave town.
