Coronavirus in Massachusetts (Tewksbury, Harvard: temporary, present, sound)

It's already been covered here the structural and cultural differences between them and places like Italy and the USA, but let's just say it's far from over there either:

Again we will never eradicate the virus. So are you saying that we should keep the country shut down forever.

The point is, conservatives paint him as THE dominant political force while meanwhile ignoring the billions in capital funneled through their think tanks, PACs, etc.

The "Soros is evil" rhetoric is deeply rooted in far-right anti-Semitic conspiracies. Yes, he has political influence along with every other billionaire in the U.S. And despite all of Soros' and Sussman's capital, the RNC continues to out fund the DNC by significant margins. "There's no there there."

Certain posters on here are deeply rooted in far-right loon circles, which is much different than you identifying as a political conservative. You're not posting inflammatory lies.

No, but we can choose the safest path. If you're a small-business owner, inspiration struck you once. Let it strike you again. I know many who have restructured what they do to meet our current situation.

Stop blaming others. Pick yourself up by your bootstraps. Does that sound like something you'd say before March?

Pick yourself up by your bootstraps.

How are you supposed to pick up yourself by your bootstraps when you’re prevented by bureaucratic gestapos. BTW...Why don’t you try telling that to the poor gym business owner in oxford that they’re trying to crucify.

Yeah..I know you live in a bubble not the real world!

There are plenty of reasons why people fall on hard luck. Perhaps a more open-minded view to protect such people would help.

With your attitude towards science and logic as presented here, it's clear you never took the time to read the full post. You were comparing Wal*Mart and THD and Lowes with smaller businesses, not a home contractor. Nowhere have I read that home contractors are forbidden in MA.
