Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Holy shit, that’s good.

I’ve never been prouder to have grown up in Florida. Not many states have enough idiosyncrasies to fill an entire song!

 

Most education funding is at the state and local level. The federal government's funding is around 9% of their budgets. What makes this blackmail by withholding federal funds (sound familiar?) even more reprehensible is that the funds that DeVos and Trump are threatening to cut off are primarily to aid economically disadvantaged kids and assistance for students with disabilities.

 

Talking to one of our neighbors who is a teacher today. She is young and healthy. She is scared to death about school restarting. As she said “parents already knowingly send sick kids to school, you think they won’t with this!?!”

 

That's true. There are parents who just don't give a shit. I had a friend who is a teacher tell me about a student coming to school even though they suspected he had COVID in early March, before they shut it down. I wish I was surprised to hear about people being as selfish and careless as those parents.

 

People have to go to work, and there are a lot of moms who don't have sick time/can't get off that often. They give the kid a dose of Tylenol and send him to school. Some of it is careless and some of it is hard choices.

 

Now there you go with logic and common sense.

Our supposed leaders don't want to understand this. It interferes with you-know-who's re-election. To him, lives in exchange for his re-election is a trade worth making. Especially when they're not himself or anyone he cares about ... assuming he really cares about anyone other than himself.

 

Two and two? This guy needs to be smacked with a 2-by-4

 

Damn.

 

He probably believes that two and two = five

 

We have a president who is trashing one of the world's top experts on infectous diseases in Dr. Faucci and puts his trust in a man whose greatest achievement in life is hosting the "Love Connection." Is a comeback by the My Pillow Guy waiting in the wings? And we haven't heard much from A Rod lately.
