Pulled over and saw this. No, they aren't "hurt", they may have slightly less money for a bit. A billion to 600 million. 5 million to 3 million. 900k to 600k. That isnt "hurting". That is a bleeping minor trifle. Thats not pain.

And being jealous of rich is now way to go through life. Being mad at the aholes that have rigged the system to funnel money to those with money and keeping every one else fighting over crumbs is a way to live. And working to change this BS is a great way to spend life.

Back to driving into what so many out of state dopes call on the PVD board the "ghetto" to give food to people that are actually hungry and fighting to stay in their homes. You know, people that are actually hurting.

Seems like Italy's death toll could be far higher than the official 13K persons being reports. It's not due to nefarious reasons, but more due to the fact they can't keep up and testing kits are in short supply. A nursing home will have 30 people die, but only 8 are officially tallied up for example.

That alone had got to be a HUGE morale killer when people are dying all around you.


I mean i'll be the first to admit that I can be a selfish A-hole sometimes when it comes to how policy affects me and my family, but that doesn't mean I want to see widespread loss of life affecting people I know, or don't value the lives lost. These people are just as important as you or I. It's what makes us a civilized society and not a herd of bison out on the plain letting predators pick off the weakest.

Right I don’t know why it’s assumed I’m jealous. It’s more like anger that many people will suffer while the greedy rich are barely affected. It’s nice to see some of the rich ones donating at least.

You really think the "greedy rich" wished this on anybody? I mean maybe some do, there's evil at all income levels.

IMO, it was dangerous and caused many vulnerable Americans to not take this pandemic seriously. Of course, pundits like Hannity furthered the gaslighting to a more dangerous level.
No one's saying he didn't downplay it at first, but you can expect that much. It's all political. Most of the western world made the same mistake (with an exception or two like Germany), to our own peril.

No I don’t think anyone wished this upon anyone. Doesn’t meant the wealthy are standing there with their millions wanting to help anyone either.
