It may be that Trump IS working on helping the Republicans’ agenda in Congress.

If he reopens the country, then all the workers now claiming worker’s compensation or sick time pay because their work is unavailable won’t have a legitimate cause for their claims. Everyone will be expected to work as usual. So there will be no need to give the workers any money - it will “make more sense” to shore up corporations so they can continue to churn out profits.

And since the elderly and the health-compromised are actually just a drain on those profits... good riddance.

Five years ago, I was still naive enough - at 63 - that I would not have thought that reasoning possible. I wanted to believe my government was better than that. Now I know better.

Heather - thanks. You’re a spot of reason and even hope in a world gone vicious.
