Internet Reader Comments from yesterday.  Some from SLATE, one from The Guardian.

The way things are looking, Italy will have a 3-4 month head start on the US getting their economy back and rolling.

Well, they haven't really had an economy that was rolling since like 1965.  So they have a really, really big head start.

     Though, one could argue that the Italians show that the obsession with "growth" in the economy is overstated.  Italy has had a stalled economy for decades.  But they don't have obscene poverty or anything like that.  Neutral can be good.

Normally conservatives and other economy knowers love to talk about how these countries are lazy, you know they take a two hour lunch and maybe don't even come back!  

And even with their universal health care and other social benefits, many can't even afford one car, let alone 3!  But now they're very concerned about Italy for some reason.

     To quote Trump regarding Italy:

Italy is a country, like we are a country, except they aren't as good as I am, believe me.  Yesterday I saw a goose, a tremendous goose.  Sleepy Joe likes waffles, but the best waffles are served in Trump tower.  You people had better be thankful for me.  

If not for my unpresidented electoral victory, a lot of people say it was the greatest victory ever, I don't know but that's what they say.  I have claimed the moon for the United States.  That flag is looking pretty attractive.  Where am I?


Rudy's Socially Distant Recliner
Too many complete sentences.  Sorry.

Trump and Nancy deny their mutual attraction while Melania fumes in the background.

     Life-threatening viruses bring all the important things in life into sharp focus.  They also highlight that we don't want/need:  cruise ships, smug celebrities, tax-dodging multi-nationals, lying politicians, designer tat, $5 coffees and people in our faces 24/7.

Jefferson Airplane, Volunteers

(the two-minute song, not the 40-minute album)

and listen.

     The band's female singer, Grace Slick, has a sort of shimmer in her voice -- (vibrato?) -- like Stevie Nicks, or Shakira.
