@kendalbridges897 Reminds me of an old saying. So and so is so heavenly minded they are no earthly good. Intellectuals do serve a useful function, BUT they are to kept away from the leavers of power. They get close to power...more often than not Nothing Good Happens.

@kendalbridges897 When this story broke I did something Really Crazy. I looked at the numbers and at the population size, and 2 words popped into my head..Rounding Error. Here in Mn. Pop. 5.6 Million as of today 160 people have died....Rounding Error.

@kendalbridges897 3 words...Governor Michael DeWine. Its not just Democrats (although many many are), its politicians who Panicked, and now refuse to use those 3 little words...I...Was...Wrong. I posted this on Mar. 19 2020. Nothing has happened that would make me change my mind " Well in in Minnesota Gov Tim Walz has taken care of that little problem...by shutting down All Bars & Restaurants. The question is, 1. How long will this ban be in place 2. how many bars and restaurants will go under? All because of 14 cases (out of a population of 5.6 Million) Let me see if I understand this (not being all that bright I..Could..Be..Wrong) The media pushes the Panic Button in order to get Ratings/Clicks. A certain number of people go (for lack of a better word) Insane. Politicians in response to the Media and the Insane, react by shutting down large parts of society/the economy...(249 people in a group, you're safe, 251 Everyone dies. If you want a drink or dinner out...You're gonna die.). Then to (try) a solve the problem they created by panicking and reacting to the insanity they say they are going to Give me $1,000. Where we might reasonably ask will they get this money? Why from the magical money tree of course!"
