Clearly humans aren't allowed to be republicans. They masturbate to visions for a great culling where they supposedly arise as overlords.

It would take years to pull back manufacturing into the US. By then this virus will have been forgotten about.

You're pushing people to go to China for cheap things, by using dollar stores and Asian nation imports.

As people scratch for dollars, they use online discount sales, which causes local stores to collapse lowering the local economy further and causing blight in the areas, as more and more people are forced into searching for cheap alternatives to meet their needs.

Trump has gathered around himself a coterie of the extremely wealthy. Each day their public utterances give us a window into their nihilistic vision of the world. Mnuchin, Carson, Ross care nothing for the teeming masses—citizen and non-citizen alike.

This is what Jesus spoke when he said “it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god...”

I’m not religious, but I’ve always felt that the New Testament carries some important lessons that are rarely paid attention to.

Lo, witness the banality of evil.
