As I paraphrased yesterday, “If grandma has to die in order to get the economy rolling again, then grandma has to die.”
For me, Arthur Chu and Joseph McBride have captured the essence of what’s been happening over the last seven weeks or so. We’ve all been suddenly thrown into a fairly close equivalent of World War 2, and some people (the rural, red-state, Trump-following brainiacs who are willing to risk a worsening pandemic in the name of re-opening bowling alleys, tattoo parlors and the like) are revealing who they really are, God help us.
