The problem is that in places that have started opening up, there has been absolutely no demand whatsoever for eat-in restaurants, retail stores, etc.


And that's ok. Let the free market and the free will of the people determine what businesses should be open or not. The People's choice.

Forcing them to open before there is sufficient demand sure will kill off a lot of small businesses that the GOP always pretends to care about (but doesn’t really).

Let them stay closed if they want. Give them government assistance if they choose to do so. Money MUCH better spent than some dumb payroll tax cut or capital gains tax reduction.

They can stay closed. I didn't see in the opening plans put forth by any state that a business must open. The 3 or 4 trillion the government has given away already is enough.
Agree that payroll tax cut is ill thought out. Agree that reduction in capital gains tax is ill thought out. (I didn't even know that was in the plans)

I will be going out to eat at a restaurant as soon as they open. Lots of people will.

Saw this on Morning Joe this morning. Absolutely brutal. Simply highlighting his words.

People will die from Covid19 or it's future clones for the rest of your life. Trump is simply stating the obvious so that those on the left can understand reality, those on the right can already see the bigger picture.

Huh? He’s stating the obvious? What statement are you talking about?
