I feel bitter resentment over the fact that people in charge are even TALKING about opening up.

[LuckyCharms]

How about "keeping everyone safe" instead?

How about "heroic and concentrated efforts to find a vaccine" instead?

How about "automatic monthly living wage until this is over" instead?

How about "funding small businesses with enough grant money to keep them afloat until this is over" instead?

Oh, and if you are on TV everyday talking to the American people about social distancing, it would be nice if you didn't have 20 people standing next to you. Asshole.

Finally, Mr. Presidick, please learn some new words. Please.

1. and Trump is egging the Ceo's and Govs along. day by day

[smirkymonkey]

2. Forget it. You know what their priorities are and it isn't us.

It's maintaining the privilege of the 1%. We are expendable.

[TexasTowelie]

3. Seven weeks of social distancing and practicing other safety procedures

are going to go down the tubes. I'm bitter that we bothered trying so hard only to relinquish the struggle when we really haven't bent the curve yet.

4. they botched the closing, now they will botch the opening

they literally DO NOT CARE about the average worker, only how affects their careers and portfolios

[Raine]

5. There's no way in hell that the country is going to remain closed

up for much longer, too much politics and money 🤑 involved.

6. $1200 isn't even enough to pay for one month rent in California

How do you propose people survive here without a job?

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Opening back up is about not paying out unemployment benefits and nothing more.

Automatic monthly wage and funding small businesses, not going to happen with tRump and Co. in charge.

How long before businesses are forced to shut down again because people aren't rushing back?

What restaurant can remain open with only 25% capacity? Or 50% which what these repub. Governors are proposing.

pResident Clorox new word is

8. Saving lives might be bad for the stock market.

The billionaires, the hedge fund managers, and the CEOs are hurting. They don't care if a few (million) commoners have to die.

Maybe if a few of the super-wealthy died of Covid-19 they'd take it seriously.
