NICE GUY: Max Boot Mocks Trump Voters Sheltering in Homes, Says How Good They Had It With Obama, Weeps Hillary Not in Charge.

It isn’t just that Boot, Rick Wilson, et al are wrong; it’s that they’re aggressively and tiresomely wrong.

CHANGE: “I’ve Voted Democrat My Whole Life. It’s Getting Tougher.”

LAURENCE KOTLIKOFF: A Coronavirus End Game That Avoids A Depression.

GM, Ford, and other automakers define the problem. They just announced a two-week production suspension. But in two weeks, all the horrific infections and death numbers will be worse. It will be virtually impossible for the automakers to order their employees back to work. The optics would be terrible, not to speak of potential legal liability. Furthermore, no amount of “fiscal stimulus” will stimulate these companies to rehire once the two-week periods has passed and their layoffs begin.

The story for all larger employers is the same. None will want to be first to order their employees to risk their lives. Instead, they will be laying their workers off and waiting for others to make the first move to rehire. Hence, unless the president is willing to take the heat and vigorously urge everyone to go back to work, when it’s safe to do so, it won’t happen.

To get to that point of safety, we need a coordinated federal plan that applies to all states. What we’re now doing — leaving 50 states plus DC to make their own disorganized, differentiated, and collectively self-defeating decisions — is no answer.

Even if rehiring were politically correct, there’s a major economic roadblock involving expectations. Why rehire to produce until you’re sure you’ll have customers? But if no one rehires, there will be no customers, i.e. no one with the salary to purchase what you’re selling. This chicken and egg problem, which economists call a coordination failure, largely explains why the Great Depression lasted so long. It took WWII for businesses to realize they had a customer for sure, namely the federal government.

Well, we don’t want that particular cure.

SLOWER WOULD BE BETTER: Warmer Weather May Slow, but Not Halt Coronavirus. “Nature may help diminish the pandemic if aggressive measures to control the spread of infections continue, experts say. That doesn’t mean the virus won’t return.”

A Dyce Dare Mystery
When she was six, Dyce Dare wanted to be a ballerina, but she couldn’t stop tripping over her own feet. Then she wanted to be a lion tamer, but Fluffy, the cat, would not obey her. Which is why at the age of twenty nine she’s dumpster diving, kind of. She’s looking for furniture to keep her refinishing business going, because she would someday like to feed herself and her young son something better than pancakes.
Unfortunately, as has come to be her expectation, things go disastrously wrong. She finds a half melted corpse in a dumpster. This will force her to do what she never wanted to do: solve a crime.
Life is just about to get crazy… er… crazier. But at least at the end of the tunnel there might be a relationship with a very nice Police Officer.

ALSO, I UNDERSTAND, A BIG HILLARY SUPPORTER. I SMELL A RAT IN A LAB COAT:  What did Dr. Fauci have to say in 2009 about the deadly H1N1 pandemic?

YOU MISUNDERSTAND THEM. THEY’RE ONLY WORRIED THAT THEY, PERSONALLY, MIGHT DIE. OTHER THAN THAT THEY ROUTINELY FANTASIZE ABOUT THE EXTINCTION OF THE HUMAN RACE:  Democrats are panicked about mass death, but still push abortion.

AS LONG AS IT WORKS TO STAMPEDE AMERICANS INTO SOCIALISM, THEY’LL CONTINUE DOING IT:  Media Continues “Hair On Fire” Behavior.

DUH, VOTING WITH THE SOCIALISTS ON THE ASSUMPTION THEY’LL THEN VOTE WITH YOU ALWAYS ENDS UP THE SAME. ALWAYS. WHEN WILL THE GOP LEARN?  Senate Democrats block economic rescue bill after Pelosi pulls powerplay in House.

THE MASKS ARE OFF, AND REVEAL THE HORRENDOUS VISAGE OF TRAITORS:  Hillary and Chinese Gov’t Reading From Same Script In Calling Trump Racist Over “Chinese Virus”.

EUROPEANS ARE CRAZY. I KNOW. I USED TO BE ONE:  In Response to Trump Travel Ban, Florence Launched “Hug a Chinese” Day Initiative in February .

THIS IS ACTUALLY WORRISOME BECAUSE HE HAS SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE FROM THE ATTACK BY HIS DERANGED LEFTY NEIGHBOR:  Rand Paul Tests Positive for Coronavirus.

WHEN DID WE DECIDE WE’RE NO LONGER A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC????  DOJ Asks Congress for Indefinite Detention Powers.

No. Also go read why the fall of the Bastille was such a big deal. Also now. Also, go fish.
