Now This:

Watching this with frustration/jealousy. We could have had this America. Canadians respect each other to wear masks, have competent leadership, and didn’t squander countless time and resources. America needs to sometimes learn from others.

We could have done it with a trained monkey as long as it knew how to take charge of the situation.

They caved to their constituents. Those states that elected them are populated by ignorant children...cowards who are unwilling to sacrifice a god damn thing for the common good.

No problem sacrificing people they probably don't know. I don't doubt their economic fears, but I hoped we lived in a culture that would assume some hardship to prevent counting deaths in the hundreds of thousands.

The rest of the Western world figured it out. They are cautiously eating in restaurants and sending their kids to school. We, on the other hand, are screaming at the WalMart greeter about our "rights".
