It's known as the feeding frenzy. They take our money and rights and we thank them for "saving us". Both teams have this on page #1 of the playbook.
I think I’m on that page with you. Demicans and Republicrats pretty much never pass up an opportunity to serve themselves.

Hopefully doesn’t take that long, we should be open tomorrow

If you care to take that chance go ahead, but don't call it making sense, it's ignorance, at best.

It makes sense. People are gonna die.
That is part of life. Do what you gotta do to feel safe, but don't hold the country hostage.

You can try to justify your position all you want, just tell me how many babies and young people dying, so you can go to the gym, or the movie theater, or wherever else you want, is enough? And does that include the people you love?

We all are under a death sentence when we are born, but that doesn't mean our death has to be this Thursday, when waiting until there is acquit testing in just a few more weeks could save many more people.

Sounds like the tailors are mad. I wonder how the cobblers feel about all this.

Let me rephrase you changing just one word, so you can look at the mirror:

"So you say you want to drive a car? Do you know that 38000 people die in car accidents every year in US?
