Okay then, residents of Georgia. How many of y'all are gonna' take a ride in Governor Kemp's death cab for commerce joy ride? It will be short, but catch it while you can.

It is time for y'all to tally what you consider to be an acceptable amount of Mortician Kemp's Grand and Grim reopening. I mean, heck, if the economy is worth that much to you and your impulsiveness overrides your common sense and survival instincts, then that's the perfect Governor for you.

Death Panel Kemp. He's the panel and the death, all in one.

I’ve heard Minnesota is going to. I wish they all would just wait until June 1. I think they would be extremely successful if the just waited one more month.

But nothing would be as effective at curving the contagion curve as maintaining stay-home orders.

The economy, though... No easy answers.

but how to get it to everyone without using the crumbling economy that will inevitably discriminate due to class and race? All part of what I mentioned earlier...

Acceptance that the 'economy' that we are supposedly fighting for had a major role to play in the pitiful response and general social failure to handle this pandemic. That the disparity in our system has cost lives and needs to be addressed.



Sorry, I should have known I could not say that with a straight face...
