It was a bit of a blizzard here today as I did my early class via Zoom.
Snow on April 15. Because a pandemic is not quite enough.
There is talk about re-opening the country soon and I have a proposal! Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth from Indiana thinks that losing lives to the virus is the lesser of two evils — he wants things opened back up.
Wonderful!
He and others like him who are so willing to fuel the economy with dead bodies can go ahead and get out there. Maybe they can take over for the grocery store clerks? Or the nurses? Maybe Rep. Hollingsworth can wait tables or work at a plant in South Dakota that has been hard hit by Covid-19?
Of course that won’t happen, will it? Those types want other people — less worthy people, expendable people — to be the canaries in the coal mines.
Personally, I do not want anyone to be a canary — not even people like Rep. Hollingsworth.
