My guess is we, the common people, need to know what these folks say.

(133 posts)One topic that can be discussed in the management of the Coronavirus is the utilization of martial law to handle crowds or emergencies.

(86,048 posts)for the safety of all these top tier persons in a single room. I don't like how the criminality has progressed and I don't put anything past these fuckers if you catch my drift.
