re: #191 Targetpractice

They spent the first 2.5 months of the year hoping that their gamble (downplaying the virus in order to avoid spooking the markets) would work and instead 80,000+ are dead and UE has spiked to nearly 15%. So what better way to go forward than to roll the dice again, only this time on the belief that “reopening” the country in total contravention of most every expert’s advice will wipe away all the economic damage and stall the death toll.

Gee, I can’t see how this guy ever managed to bankrupt a casino.///////

To be fair, covid19 was a vicious curveball from Mother Nature. The shit had already hit the fan by the time it was clear that this wasn’t another SARS- or MERS-like outbreak that would be relatively easy to manage.

Of course, Trump’s response to this difficult situation has been pessimal.
