The USA is fast approaching the level of one death per 3,500 residents. But the financial impact appears to be one job lost in ten or worse. I hate to even speak of balancing death and prosperity, especially being a vulnerable senior, but is there a moral and justifiable balance point? I’m financially totally blessed and immune to this economy and have no “dog in this fight”, but can we PUH-lease re-open more rapidly, Newsom?

The Antifa rally in Paso on Friday certainly couldn’t have helped. Someone said it wasn’t Antifa. It WAS an Anti Fascist government rally which is EXACTLY what Antifa stands for. Sorry, The right wing has become antifa.

You’re totally correct. I have no idea what extremist media outlet those protestors used. Risking everyone’s safety to say f you to our governor as Alt Right Right Wing Extremists Terrorists. As if CA isn’t the most accommodating state, which it is. How many of these loons are claiming socialist unemployment. Psychos. I hope no one protesting is taking unemployment, that would look so so so bad. Chemical and Bio warfare was banned in WW1, I guess these snow flake folks dont care!

Hmm.. didn’t see any black hoods, no Molotov cocktails, violence and property destruction i.e. Berkeley or the People’s Republic of Portlandia.


Hmmm…Don’t think it was ANTIFA, more like a measured Tea Party kind of deal, Calm but loud, polite but direct, but no violence. Just some 1st amendment activity for all to see.
