How to fix this problem

Also, my post does not criticize Trump, it points out the inconsistency among certain other posters who refuse to criticize the President when he does things they have previously railed against.

Just so there are no misunderstandings--I think the President and the Speaker did a great service to the country in pushing through the stimulus. I hope you will join be in congratulated them both.

The webmaster asked us politely not to carry on political disagreements, what the OP did does not green light it for others.

Just because I don't get a speeding ticket, doesn't mean I wasn't speeding....

If you asked the OP and me both to refrain, I would have.

But you thanked the OP for his political post, then asked me not to write political posts in response to the OP. Puhlease.

One thing I admire about Seaplane Pilot, Maxum, and Major is that they are stand up guys who do not pretend to dislike political posts while they are posting politically.

I hear/appreciate what you're saying, but as far as this forum has gone lately- have you been living in a cave?

When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health..

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- it’s not about YOUR health.

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health.!

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken...

Great post by Aps ! My two cents worth is simple: get the politics out of medicine and let the scientists and medicos develop a solution. (Hey, I wonder how the Country would run if we got the politicians out of government and let the "governors" govern the Country.?)

Agreed--here's a great article on the twin successes of a conservative government in Australia and a liberal government in New Zealand. Both crushed covid quickly by making sure that politics did not get in the way of the experts. It really bums me out that we have done done the same here.

Q&A from a journalist who knows...

Take-aways:

1) Over 65? You need a note from the governor to leave your home!

Fine! But let the rest of us get back to work.

Why haven't they done this already?

2) But it's doubly good news because the Wuhan targets people who are mostly out of the workforce anyway. And we already have their names and addresses! How about the feds send a box of masks along with Social Security checks every month?

3) Apart from the election, why would the media want to impoverish the nation?

4) Luckily the hospitals are half-empty, waiting for the gusher of coronavirus patients.

So we do nothing?

Maybe a correction is available on page 26?

Worldwide, New Zealand is #26, Australia #32, and the US is #38.

Upon revision of sketchy details--primarily from NY--the US can be expected to improve its standing.

Not sure of the specifics you're referring to, but as Gary has pointed out, individual stats are easy manipulated. Liberal New Zealand and conservative Australia continue to be heralded as examples of how to do this right. I have not seen a single example of somebody from outside of our government or political process asserting that our government has done a good job of this.

That "great article" omitted:

The ISLAND of New Zealand has four international airports.

Also omitted:

The US has one hundred and forty-nine international airports.
