would totally not be surprised. Give the proles emergency free stuff and get them dependant. Never mind the debt thing.
There's a graphic I'm seeing around in my Bookface. Illinois, with Chicago and associated vassal counties marked off from the rest of the state ("downstate"). Totals for "downstate" are a miniscule and quite disproportianate precentage of those in Chicagometropolitanarea. Nevertheless, our dear governor continues to be heavy handed.
Wikileaks, where are you when we need you. Might be some interesting stuff in email exchanges out there.
How's Rush doing, anyway? I know he had a cancer diagnosis.
He seems ok. He's been off for two weeks, at separate times, for medical treatments. The first time he had to get his medications adjusted as he was having a bad reaction. More recently, purportedly for a checkup on Monday and tuesday, but then was out the rest of the week, and that was some undisclosed dental problem.
As far as his theory is concerned, while I always thought covid 19 was a real thing, I also always feared it would be used by Trump's enemies to hurt him, and that many would happily crush the economy to do it.
The older I get the more I despise the political class. I think someone on this forum opined that most politicians were sociopaths or psychopaths.
I would be hard pressed to show that idea was wrong.
