‘We Promised You Tests, Not The Ability To Test’. The VP says it was all a misunderstanding. It was actually a deliberate attempt to deceive. Lives lost in the fog of semantics. BTW, the new Task Force Plan for ramping up testing?: It’s all on the states. Still.
Trump Didn’t Read Briefings That Warned Of Pandemic. The revenge of the intelligence community. Call ’em ‘human scum’ at your own risk. Even ‘Sleepy Joe’ was screaming about it back in January. I don’t think the ‘Blame China’ reelection ploy will work.
Small Business Program A Disaster. At least the mom-and-pop business known as the LA Lakers was able to get a lifeline. I think most small businesses will come to regard this program as a rigged fraud. Because that’s what it is.
Leader Of ‘Reopen NC’ Group Tests Positive For COVID-19. And then loudly protested government forcing her to quarantine for 14 days. I provide the info, you provide the schadenfreude. Bonus Track: The Kansas bleach-drinker.
Everything Falls Apart, Ctd. Global. US. The latest carnage: 988,469 confirmed cases and 56,253 deaths in the United States. If a ‘mere’ 1400 daily deaths can be defined as progress, well, I guess that’s progress.
Big Plastic Seeks Relief Funds. Anybody wanna bet against them getting that money?
Trump’s Judges. An utterly-depressing account of how he did it and what we face. Force yourself to read it.
UD Implements Hiring Freeze Amid Budget Shortfall. This seems like as good a time as any for the Delaware General Assembly to link ongoing state aid to a mandatory opening of the books. “You want the money? This is how you access the money.” I mean, the state’s facing a huge shortfall, make UD and Del State and, of course, Del-Tech, accountable.
First Delaware Business-Reopening Virtual Town Hall Answers Little. While not unexpected, especially in Sussex County, I have a question: Why the bleep is this meeting being run by the head of the so-called ‘public-private partnership’ known as the Delaware Prosperity Partnership? John Carney and the Dover lilliputians enacted legislation making this body exempt from the prying eyes of the public. Why is this Kurt Foreman guy leading this meeting? Is he even a state employee? I would think that meetings pertaining to reopening aspects of Delaware life would be led by, you know, elected officials. But what do I know?
What do you want to talk about?
