Is this considered good news, or bad news?
In a Darwinian sense, one might say that this is good news. In a moral sense, it is bad news.

Yes, the healthcare workers will bear the real burden.

Since we don't have anything like universal healthcare, we should put the onus on individuals making correct choices.

(15,469 posts)Just like they used to do.
No, I really expect that the politicians will be socially distancing, using shields and police to guard against the hoi polloi from getting too close. The politicians are perfectly fine with their constituents catching and dying of any disease (less money to the social welfare programs, more to them and their friends.)

Survivors will be given a chance to change their party registration before any of the three of them are sent home.

(3,741 posts)... sacred lands. Once upon a time I hiked around "Devils tower." I saw many prayer flags tied around the trees, at the very base of the towers, so inspirational! Prayer flags placed, because that place is sacred, always was, and will continue to be sacred. I felt the spirituality, such one of those powerful a places on earth.
This place was stolen from Natives. Fuckers in SD will never allow a partnership between the powerful whites and the Native Americans. Now trump wants to fire off fireworks to celebrate (delusional) the 4th of July. More importantly to boost his turdig brand. trump chose this site, fucker go home. Fireworks over a Pine forest is beyond stupid. What? Do they want to start some kind of forest fire to burn out the Natives?? I hope not but if they do ... is it like shooting someone on Fifth Ave. ? Will he get away with it?
