States are faced with two choices.
Open up or beg for a bailout.
Trump has signaled that he is not in favor of bailouts.
Y’know, this virus is showing us what life is really like. Men become construction workers even though they know they may die - and many do - on the job. But they need the money to LIVE the lifestyle they want and are willing to take this risk to do so.
And now states are facing that same conundrum - which is really what we’ve done since the dawn of man: Do we open up and risk people dying, to allow people to LIVE and enjoy the lifestyle they want - even though it means a tiny part of the population may die - or do we live in fear, hunkered down, risking even MORE lives.
For me, the choice has been obvious since the day this lockdown started. But then, I hold to the founding fathers view of life rather than the European viewpoint. So I’m getting banned or silenced on web sites all over the interwebs because I’m scaring the children.
