I want you to humor me. If you can I want you to actually do this. If you can’t I want you to imagine what it looks like. In rows of ten lay out a thousand pennies. Imagine that each one of those pennies represents a human life. After you get that picture in your mind. Imagine what 230,000 pennies must look like when laid out like this. Each one of those pennies represents a human life. A life attached to a mother, a father, and probably an extended family.
Millions of people will be impacted by the loss of those 230,000 souls. How can we be so callous about the loss of a single life unnecessarily.
I can’t help but think about the people who surrounded Walter Reed Hospital when DJT was being treated for COVID-19. The compassionate out pouring was visible. Where is that out pouring for the 230,000 souls who didn’t recover. Those that are gone to soon because we lack a coherent plan for attacking this virus.
DJT tells you that there’s nothing to be done about it. He tells you that the economy is more important than human life. He tells you that some humans are expendable to keep the machine going.
Just yesterday the Presidents favorite barometer of economic health took a 600 point drop. Talk to anyone on Wall Street and they can tell you why. The lack of a new wave of relief and the growing spread of COVID-19 with 40 of our 50 states showing an alarming increase in diagnosed cases. The Dow is down another 58 points at 9:45 am.
The economy is driven by people. People who can’t consume don’t feed the economy. Maybe just maybe if someone stopped to think about those 230,000 pennies as human beings who won’t be consuming their lives might matter. I hate that SOB with every fiber of my being. Those 230,000 souls deserve better. The projection is that a lack of change in our COVID-19 policy will see our death rate increase to potentially 500,000 by March.
There’s an election a week from now. Are you prepared to have someone you love be one of the expendables.
Think!!
Eyes Wide Open!!!
