worst outrages on "mistakes" or "ineptness"; anything but evil or corrupt intent. And, this reminds me of something I read years ago on the old BARTCOP site.
(Paraphrased)---"When someone 'makes a mistake' and that results in an increase in their power or puts money in their pocket, count on them to make that 'mistake' again and again".

(18,672 posts)Thats the first site I frequented during Clintons impeachment, which got my attention of how craven and evil the GOP really was. I knew they were evil when Gingrich proposed taking kids away from single moms, but this made me realize they will do anything for money and power as we are witnessing now. Even let tens of thousands of Americans suffer and die.

He might try to open up the economy,
but you can't force them to shop in
the broader economy until infections
have started a decline before opening.
It just looks purposeful when the knee jerk
reflex is to be a jerk.
