Georgia Coroner Pleads Against Going Outside: ‘You’re Playing Russian Roulette’

Michael Fowler, a coroner in Albany, Georgia, warned on Monday that shopping at the businesses that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has allowed to reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic could come at a heavy price.

“I understand businesses are hurting and people need to work. But I see these folks out and about and I wonder: ‘Is this another death I’ll have to pronounce?'” he said. “My work never shut down. I’ve been busier than ever during all this.

Hard to be overjoyed when your business has more customers than can be served isn’t it?

OT Them that has, gets.

So when the pandemic struck, those at the apex of the wealth pyramid were better positioned than ever to take advantage of the chaos. The rest, not so much.

Collins has been studying income inequality for 25 years and has seen the really rich win victory after victory. But even he was surprised by how quickly America’s billionaires have turned pandemic into profit. “I still get shocked,” he said.

WH objects to term “Russian roulette,” claims that the common term is “gun to head roulette.” The Democrat Party is adding “Russian” as a way to refer to the phony hoax Russia investigation. There is no evidence that anyone in the Cabinet or the Trump family has played this game.

If Trump would resign, the Real United States Government would leap into action, using all the accumulated human wisdom possible to feed people, test people, protect people and arrange for work avenues in which people could produce goods and services safely.

This post is not a term paper. But, for example, tens of millions of people could he tested and then trained to be assigned to various projects which have real societal uses and for which protective gear and protocols could be arranged. Secondly, the funding allocations by the government should be in the form of sustained income (which will be used and then flow back
into the economy, as opposed to a one-shot $1K handout)

Third, different work-spacing strategies can be nationally created and observed and, in so doing, alter whole industries.

It really is a knotty but doable project for people trained in the sciences of human interactions.

This country is made up an amazing number of stupid people. We will see them throwing themselves a parade and laughing on the news tonight, then in two weeks we will see them again being wheeled to and fro in a very slowly moving parade.

Yeah. No “briefing” per sé. He was bored by that part of the previous update sessions. What he enjoyed most was the berating of reporters during the Q&A section of the previous briefings. So basically, in these, what I assume will be regular, press conferences, he’s cut out the briefing part and gone straight to an all “beat the press” all the time format.

Will he pour on that Trump charm (beached charm) with his phony soft and somewhat weird voice? . It is too late to suddenly become presidential. He wants and needs an audience and he needs an enemy. Will he take questions or allow others to answer for him?
