Then there's Russian mafiya banker Wilbur Ross saying coronavirus will be good for the US economy and jobs
They don't even pretend to care.
The USPS wipe out is indefensible.
Great find, Nathan.

Letting Wall Street rip us off again while letting Main Street starve and die is more than fodder for the media and a much bigger threat to power than doing right by non-incorporated Americans.
The Rise of Coronavirus Hate Crimes
as fear and anxiety about covid-19 have spread, other incidents have emerged in the U.K. and elsewhere.
Stop Hate U.K., an anti-hate group, he said his organization had seen a e in hate crimes and incidents reported by Asian communities and individuals in the U.K.
“an upturn in concern and fear” from the Chinese community in London regarding wearing surgical masks.
“People that would normally wear masks are
now feeling that somehow they would become the target of abuse if they continued to do so,”
the Anti-Defamation League has been tracking racist memes and online activity directed toward Asian communities in reaction to the outbreak.
They’ve uncovered lurid cartoons depicting an Asian “Winnie the Flu,” mocking references to “bat soup,” and more violent imagery.
Some posts, they went on, “appear to be cheering on the virus, hoping it will spread to predominately non-white countries, such as those in Africa.”
throughout history, pandemics had often intensified discrimination against minorities.

Not only is it defensible, the debt jubilee should be much larger. Debts that can't be paid won't be.
Consider the German economic miracle of the 50s and 60s. It wouldn't have been possible without forgiving 90% of Germany's debts.
A debt jubilee here and now would strengthen consumers and the broader economy.
The Federalist Asks:
Is America ‘Better Off’ Letting People Die From Coronavirus?
The Federalist published an article Monday that considers an argument
to consciously allow hundreds of thousands of people to die in the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic
if it means Americans would regain a sense of normalcy.
“Probably almost everyone would be willing to live a somewhat shorter normal life
rather than a somewhat longer life under current conditions,”

I suppose none of FedSoc members and fans are volunteering?

Trump’s distrust of experts is why Jared Kushner is now overseeing the pandemic response
will likely impede the government’s efforts to stem the rising tide of coronavirus victims
as he chooses instead to hand off the critical response duties to son-in-law Jared Kushner
who has also been tasked with
corraling the opioid epidemic and
solving the Middle East conflict that has simmered for decades.
“The laws that govern emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic give enormous power to the executive branch to direct and coordinate disaster response.
These laws are not designed to empower the president personally,”
“To the contrary, the whole point of the emergency laws is to empower government experts who know what must be done in a crisis —
that is, career technocrats who work at agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the federal emergency management agency (FEMA).
Congress doesn’t trust the president in an emergency.
It trusts the experts.”

UVA Med just confirmed that they will be online only for the remainder of the semester. was previously indefinite.
Disagree.
COVID-19 may make in person voting too risky in November, to say nothing of the preceding primaries and special elections . If mail in or online systems have to be installed on the fly, it makes sense to give states money for auditing.
Italy’s death and new case rate slowed today, is that a meaningless blip or have they turned the corner. If they’ve turned the corner will they maintain restricted social contact or go back to business as usual as our beloved loan kiter in chief leader would no doubt do?
