They are desperate. I said in late March that if we lock down, cities will lose their tax revenue. It’s like the breadwinner in your family going from a $100,000 a year job to burger flipping. And if you have a lot of debt, it will not be pretty. What city or state does not have a lot of debt. How do they pay it if people are not spending, earning, producing and consuming - all generating the tax revenue cities and states need to survive?
This is why I say we are not destroying the country’s econonmy. We’ve already destroyed it. We just won’t see the consequences right away. It’s an airliner going across the pacific that dumped all its fuel. It will be fine until you actually hit the water - in 2021.
Of course, once enough passengers notice the water is getting awfully close, there may be some mayhem in the passenger cabin.

Yep. There has been some discussion in my neck of the woods about implementing a toll on ALL bridges (even small ones).
I guess they’ll put a license-reading camera on each of the bridge. If you cross the bridge, you’ll get a bill in the mail.
