I’m guessing he has business interests in a few pubs, and he is hurting.

If he actually cared about workers he would say something different.

Like the need for paid leave, sick leave, medical insurance, higher minimum wage.

Not to wish ill on anyone but screw it: Nunes and all his dearest cronies should congregate at the nearest watering hole and share shots.

There, I said it.

After saying that “there is no reason” for people to be running to the grocery store amid the coronavirus outbreak, Nunes recommended that when it comes to concerns over the economy, people should realize that it’s “a great time to just go out.”

> “If you’re healthy — you and your family — it’s a great time to just go out and go to a local restaurant,” Nunes said. “Likely you can get in easily.”

Strangely enough this is what I’m telling all my Faux News loving GOP acquaintances. Hotels in Italy and cruises are especially great deals right now. And it’s easy to get a window seat to fly the friendly skies.

No one asked him. But you can be guaranteed that he is a jackass of all trades.
