I'm paying exorbitant prices for food staples delivery. In the near future I hope to be able to berate myself for foolishly paying these prices. But I don't feel foolish at all right now.

Ya'all please stay & keep others safe.

 

The U.S cannot sustain this for long.We are being asked to go broke.Think about it.

 

Are you saying serfdom awaits?

 

Ma

Maybe.

 

It's really sad how this has devolved.

I lined up an hour early yesterday at Costco and was able to buy a 40 pack. They actually had lots and limited one/customer. BTW, I'm anticipating a lockdown in Canada very soon.

 

I live about an 1 1/2 hours drive from the Canadian border. But can't go there since the border is locked down.

 

Thank God this virus is only 10 times more deadly than the flu, yes, still small compared to some pandemics of the past and hopefully much smaller once the vaccine is developed (I relish buying the stock in THAT company). Can you imagine what we would be dealing with a fatality rate of Cholera or the Plague in the Middle Ages if this were just as deadly? Modern health science: keep on keeping on, this one blind sided you but I have faith in you.

Trump is making better decisions than local or state in most cases.I just hope he's right.After all this is really the first time he has listened to people smarter than him.

Many of which are coming from the mainstream media.
