Thanks, Stephen. Good people do live here and we are working hard to get Graham out and Harrison in. I've been lucky enough to hear Harrison speak a few times and I very much get the impression of a man who wants to help people out of a sincerity of heart.

It can be done if we are willing to do the hard work of knocking on door and making calls.

He makes like $180,000 a year with tons of perks like premium health care, drivers, per diem, expenses, campaign funds, etc and last year Congress was in session about 130 days, or 5 months out of the 12. This year they will be in session a lot less but his check will not vary one cent. None of his pay and benefits will change at all. THIS is where WE need to start cutting expenses.

I think that paying everybody a livable sum for as long as the pandemic lasts would not only be fair (why bail out airlines and not families?), but would be an extremely efficient way to restart the economy. Our economy is normal 2/3 consumer driven, so let's create more consumers.

At least it's not a black woman. That might console him.

Same here except that we tend to equate high class with money just slightly more than the Brits do.

It is a poor judgment call.

You're betting on everyone else's habits protecting you from going about regular activities, and it's that reckless behavior, repeated by thousands and millions of other people that are getting innocent people killed who aren't you.

"I don't want to pay people more in unemployment than they were getting at work."Desperate people often resort to desperate things. Keep talking, Lindsey, make sure they know who is responsible for their circumstances.

You can't fix stupid. I was downtown earlier trying to dodge bikers and joggers, and I strolled down to White Point Gardens. I took one look and said "nuh uh." You wouldn't believe the amount of people in the park, which is allegedly closed. I was just going to walk around the park, but there were too many people there to even do that.

I'm walking 6' away from other people, while joggers are running up behind me, breathing on me. I think they all think they're immune, and they don't seem to care if they pass it on to someone else. I wish the virus only affected stupid, and mean, people.

Avoid Charleston other than in December, January, and February, then! Asheville is a cool little mountain town.

Oh, sweet fucking JC! The idiots are going to keep killing people because "freedom". Stay safe and stay away from the ones that think they are "special".

You know, there is a solution to that, Lindsey. We could raise the minimum wage so that the jobs pay more.
