I reckon those boys are a bit brighter than the Earl of Havana, at least by the look of 'em.
You quite obviously don't want to talk with anyone. You do the talking and everyone else is supposed to shut up and agree with your babble.

Hardly. But the right simply doesn't care how many die as long as profits are being made.

You are probably correct.

True. OTOH, more and more on the Left are finding out they can't survive without working. The US is the richest, most powerful nation on the planet, yet we don't have the resources to weather a 6-month shut down. Trump is printing money like Charmin makes toilet paper. Why? Because our nation is in debt up to its eyeballs with zero savings.
Smart people save for a rainy day. A month is reasonable. Two months is better, but six months is well beyond the capabilities of most Middle and Lower Income Americans. They have to work. They'll do so recognizing that our nation could lose 3-9 Million Americans in the next year unless a cure or vaccine is discovered. It's a matter of necessity. When this is over, I suspect most people will be pissed and be questioning our leadership why our nation was so ill-prepared for this event.
It wouldn't surprise me to see a fundamental ideological change sweep across the nation just as happened after WWII, Vietnam, Watergate and 9/11. Losing millions of Americans would do that.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
I don't get it.
I am not super rich. What I am is frugal. I never bought a new car in my life, even though I am now in a position where I could walk into a dealership and pay cash for most common cars. I figured out early on in life that car payments prevent savings. Instead of buying a new car, I learned how to work on cars, nursed along whatever I was driving as I saved for the next car. Trial and error led to learning how to discern a good car from a bad one. Only get good cars, keep them to the point of practicality, then find another and get rid of the old. Preferably, get the new one before getting rid of the old. That way one is never forced to make a deal by time constraints. Generally avoid dealerships because they have to make a profit on the deal.
Also figure the efficiency of the car. When you add up the cost of the car, repairs and maintenance, that's one cost, but after enough miles the biggest cost of a car is fuel (over the life of the car.) That means it is a cost savings to get the one with the best efficiency that will work for your needs.
Then learn how to hyper-mile. This kind of driving can cause your fuel to last 1.5 times to 2 times as far as impetuous driving.
Anybody can do these things. Most don't. They require thinking for yourself and making up your mind that this is what you are going to do.
The real reason most people don't do this kind of thing?
There is no instant gratitude. The benefits don't come right away.
Doesn't work for short attention-span people.
I find it irresistible. A lifetime of these kinds of habits will result in you being richer by thousands of dollars.
I love it when a plan comes to fruition.

Not everyone is that smart. It took me until I was almost 30 to learn that lesson. Most people do not. It's not a matter of intelligence, but one of social values and leadership. It appears ours is lacking.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
I couldn't afford to spend a lot on cars from the start. I liked finding cars 'with all the right things wrong with them,' meaning whatever repairs they needed were something I could do with affordable parts. Oh yeah, I became familiar going to the boneyards and pulling parts. Whatever I had to do. I have swapped out engines and transmissions. Sometimes I took on projects that were too time consuming, but sweat equity is free and it gives you plenty of time to think about future decisions. The first ten cars I owned, I actually sold them for more than I paid for them, although the parts and hours I put into them did not reflect a true savings. Gradually I learned what was worth while and what was a time and parts eater.
I began to look at cars in terms of total spent to purchase, maintain, insure, repair and fuel them vs the number of years and miles achieved. You want the most years and miles for the fewest dollars and hours. Once I began to think in those terms I was able to minimize the amount spent.
I had to get beyond thinking about the car as a status symbol or source of pride at the stoplight. Because really, those things are not very valuable. Now I value safety, comfort, reliability, and overall economy.
I now generally get low miles cars a few years old, put some miles on them, care for them well, and swap 'em out before they need anything major.
If I had money to burn, I guess I wouldn't consider how much I spend on cars. Then I could have a car that reflects such a position. But I don't, so I don't.
And that doesn't bother me at all. I love my life. I would just love it more if we didn't have this crisis going on.

ROFL..you are so fucking weird.
The establishment Republican party served no one but the rich and powerful. Why in the hell you would want that back is insane.
Iback Trump's populism ( America first) -but am in no way atuned to McConnelland that crowd.
5 years from now I'll re evaluate and figure out which part of the duopoly is the lessor of 2 evils
