Animal Instinct: Trump Trying To Deflect Blame From Himself By Blaming China For The Pandemic
Two weeks ago I was the only person in the grocery store in my neighborhood with a mask. People looked at me weird and moved away from me. (A bonus!) As the days ticked by, a smattering of customers began wearing them-- and some serious masks. I was happy. By yesterday, the mask-wearers were a majority. Three of the four cashiers were also wearing masks, although when I attempted to compliment one of them, he barked at me that: 1- the store made the employees buy their own masks 2- the [selfish, stupid, igornant] customers who aren't wearing masks [yet] are putting everyone else--... more »

COVID-19: Our politicians are fiddling while Rome burns

Republicans are focused far too strongly on bailing out big corporations at the expense of small business and individuals, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Democrats are focused far too strongly on bailing out individuals at the expense of corporations, and adding new funding for their favored causes like abortion, welfare and Social Se... more »

Business as Usual: Coronavirus, Iran and US Sanctions
Never discount the importance of venality in international relations. While pandemics should provide the glue for a unified front in response – we keep being told of fighting this horrendous “invisible enemy” – it’s business as usual in other respects. The United States, with a disparate, confused medical system that risks being overwhelmed, remains committed against that other country floundering in efforts to combat COVID-19: Iran. Instead of binding the nations, the virus, as with everything else, has served as a political obstacle.
