Well it's politics as usually, why am I surprised!? I educated myself recently on "earmarks" and it was quite a education! Dems & Reps are equally guilty of this tactic. I couldn't find a listing of all the earmarks both parties are trying to slip into this stimulus bill, but the ones I did come across made my blood boil! They had NOTHING whatsoever to do with additional ways in which to help workers so severally affected by this economy. |

Buddhist monks set themselves on fire to show the depth of their beliefs. This prick has zero credibility. Hand him some matches and we'll see how serious he is. F...ing demagogue.

So I had to go to Wal-Mart today because our parrots think they need to eat and believe me they think loudly. The store was pretty empty and decimated of product although I did score the parrot happy meals. While being the designated parrot shopper, I couldn't help but notice THE most elderly customers (seriously)I have ever seen shopping there and we go there ALOT to buy product for the store. I would really hate to think they have bought into this philosophy of supporting the economy, even if they have to die for it.

Our Prime Ministers wife got the virus and now Prince Charles has the virus. Apparently money and power can't stop this baby.

Not only that, but when it comes down to who lives and who dies, as it has in Italy and Spain, it is the wealthy who will get the ventilator. And even more importantly, money has allowed the wealthy to be better prepared healthwise having had the income to afford good healthcare throughout their lives. They never had to choose between feeding their family or filling their asthma medication. People in lower economic classes are more likely to catch the disease and also more likely to die from it because of health issues. Also the wealthy have the privilege of being better able to isolate successfully, something that is not always easily done for some. And even those in lower economic classes who remain healthy are going to have to deal with the devastating effects of a loss of income and/or healthcare/insurance to a degree that the wealthy will not.

Lots of seniors simply don't have smart phones, know how to order online, understand "apps" etc. Or just have NO ONE TO HELP THEM or know how to find someone.

i like the Governor of NY...i think he's an Independant?...He's very conservative and obviously argumentative..but that doesn't bother me because he's honest...just gives it to you cold..i respect that even though i may not like what you're telling me..if only he were President, i'd feel a lot more confident things will eventually get better...

I loved this helpful hint in the Globe and Mail ( our National newspaper ):
At his home in rural Manitoba, Dave MacDonald, president and lead survival instructor with the International Canadian School of Survival, has enough food stored to feed his family of four adults, four dogs and two cats throughout the winter. Each fall, he fills his deep freezer with around 300 to 400 pounds of wild meat, some of which he slices thinly and preserves by drying. He keeps about 50 pounds of white rice and another 50 pounds of wild rice in grain bags, which he stores in high, dry areas around his house safe from pests. He also keeps onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables covered in dry sand inside plastic tote containers." He'll survive while they find my body lying in the grocery store aisle with my hand clutching the frozen veggie freezer door. Empty BTW. I'm also trying to find "dry sand" here in Canada. I'm going to raid the construction site across the street once it gets dark.

Politics, especially in NY State, can be truly bizarre. Our NY State legislature has been consistently ranked as the least functional in the US. Until the last election, that is, when we voters finally had enough and threw most of the bums out. Now we're getting some really great things done, and Cuomo gets to claim credit even though he quietly abetted that gridlock for his first two terms while it suited his needs. Those of us who have tangled with Cuomo's administration know him as a difficult control freak. He's well respected for the way he knows how to get 'er done, but not at all respected by good government groups. Even those who respect him the most don't particularly like him. But all off the above made Cuomo THE IDEAL leader for NY during this crisis! Even those of us who wanted to pillory him just last month LOVE Andrew Cuomo right now. He's decisive, forceful, and he isn't afraid to make tough choices. He knows how to use the media, and he doesn't hold back. We see him fighting for us, and it's glorious. So, yeah. Politics and politicians are always complicated.

President Donald Trump on Thursday once again said the nation’s governors should be “doing more” to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and not rely so heavily on the federal government for help.
He claimed most governors “have been fantastic,” but then took a few potshots at Washington’s Jay Inslee (D) and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer (D), whose name he either forgot or simply didn’t want to mention. I'm betting he doesn't even know her name! As for our Governor Inslee, I think he's shot himself in the foot! When dealing with such a petty and vindictive personality like Trump, perhaps it's best to suck it up, as hard as that might be, and keep quiet! Remember you catch more bees with honey than vinegar! |
