I get Trump's message from an economic stand point but the ignorance on his part doesn't factor in common sense, logic and most of of compassion. I have sister who worked for Blue Cross Blue shield for 40 years before retiring. Back 25 years ago, I recall her and her coworkers at odds with the company's corporate heads who devised a policy of attaching any a particular aliment or operation to a timeline (say, a appendectomy constituted a 4 day stay, corporate reduced it to a 2 day stay) this in turn was designed to save the company a great deal of money. My Sister and her associates realize another aspect of this policy that corporate refused to acknowledge. When any given patient was released from the hospital in defiance of doctors' advise but force to follow guidelines of getting paid, the patient was released prematurely only to have a relapse, now we're speaking of a 5 day stay in order to get them back on their feet, her premise, in the corporate's quest to save money, they are now actually spending more. mark our words Ben, this pandemic will be epic once ignorant individuals again commingle with the infected.

I was thinking the same thing. Coumo givess an informative update every day offering not his own opinion but that of the experts. Never does he attempt to hoodwink the people of NY adverse to the pied piper to the cranial dead followers, some who have lost their lives taking his advice and not the experts.

Many times, we fail to understand the struggles of others until we face similar situation ourselves. I wonder how many ardent Trump supporters have received huge wake up calls with the loss of family and love ones as this idiot displays attributes of a uncaring dictator? He stated 4 years ago that he could go to Wall street and shoot someone and still receive the support, well, we Democrats are realizing a fact, he sure don't or won't return them the favor.

I have a question for you, if I am construed as a bleeding Liberal, why is it so refreshing to do as my mind and conscience dictate? Adversely so, A staunch Conservative is forced to do the bidding of Trump or he/she will be fired, denigrated or embarrassed. Something I've noticed among Republicans who are mimicking the attributes of Germany era Hitlerism. Do you recall the mistreatment of John McCain and Mick Romney when they were led by their consciences and belief rather than marching orders?

No I don't

Poor fella is so bored that he's looking for attention, you do realize that we all have our "certain element of "morally & socially unacceptable" to contend with, you know, that portion of society who represents the lower classes of races, gender and social standing. Every time I hear or read about a intercity thug, gang banging etc. I'm somewhat embarrassed, not because I deem myself better but these individuals tend to place negative connotations on the entire minority society. Now in your case, you are a minuscule portion of the White race who gives images of poor trash, toothless and uneducated. I've been in this world long enough to not believe all the myths that Whites are superior while Blacks tend to take "second fiddle" but we all can achieve and thrive if we make up our minds to do so. I would love to give one the benefit of the doubt but when you at every chance defy those doubt multiple times any given day, one comes to the conclusion that many actually enjoy a life of ignorance.....which makes it easier for them to lay blame on others to explain their failures. Finally, we get to understand why many Trump supporters condone his actions and missteps, it gives them personal purpose in life to feel better about their own images.
