    I get that.  There is no magic panacea.  It will help speed the recovery some, but it's essentially just pain pills to make the recovery more tolerable from a human suffering standpoint.  We shouldn't discount that.  They are citizens and they are suffering.

     

     

    Thanks for this thread.

     

    I have a lot of experience in 65 years, but economics has always been a tough subject for me.

    Careful what you wish for Chrissie...........

     

     

    Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy has been doing his best to inspire his party to come up with another possible reason to impeach President Trump over his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

     

    Murphy’s also concerned that the Left reportedly isn’t being allowed to take swipes at the president via ads on Google (the company is only allowing messages from government agencies regarding the coronavirus). Murphy says “if true” it’s a disturbing development:

  3. Virginia Clerk Is Locked Up for Shooting at 3 Masked Robbers in His Store. Not a Typo.

     

     

    A Virginia store clerk heard a crash that sounded like a car had crashed into the place at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. He grabbed a gun and shot at three masked men he found stealing merchandise and cash from the shop.

     

    When it was over, the clerk was the one in handcuffs. He now sits in jail on no bail, charged with crimes for which he could be locked up for 20 years. Those charges include: "Malicious Wounding, Reckless Handling of a Firearm and Violation of a Protective Order."

     

    Police say they'll get around to charging the robbers later.

    What's wrong with this picture?

    The police incident report says that this is what got 33-year-old Hamzeh Abushariah sent to jail,

     

    The preliminary investigation indicates that three subjects forced entry into a business and began stealing cash and merchandise. An employee inside a secure back room heard the break in, retrieved a firearm, opened the door to the sales floor and discharged the weapon, striking one juvenile subject. The employee retreated to the back room but reentered the sales floor and discharged his weapon again as the subjects were attempting to flee the business.
     

    Abushariah, who was staying at the shop because his Washington, D.C., apartment complex had several coronavirus cases, apparently shot the suspects (who turned out to be juveniles) as they fled. That's what police say.

     

     

    The clerk also had a "protective order" against him, which may prevent him from possessing a gun. Are Arlington prosecutors now claiming that a person with a protective order may not defend himself against three masked thugs who crashed their way into a store and began ransacking it?

     

    A couple of defense attorneys weighed in on Twitter:
