Sorry to read of @amyklobuchar’s husband contracting the virus. Always a kind, gentle and respectful man on the campaign trail. Prayers for his swift and total recovery.

I apologize. I deleted the tweet from before where I had mistakenly left the word “not” out of the first sentence. It is NOT a time to doubt people’s intentions.

A main weakness of our politics is it underestimates psychological & emotional factors. In fact those elements are massively significant. If we don’t provide huge, truly huge financial relief to average citizens then we could end up dealing with mass hysteria unable to contain

It’s not a time to doubt the intentions of anyone, even Trump. It’s simply that there are people who think our current model of doing business can adequately solve this crisis & it can’t. We won’t be able to save our economy or our society unless we’re willing to change our minds

We have tens of millions of hungry people in America, but as bad as it is it’s a level the system can absorb. If we start seeing exponentially larger number of hungry people, chaos will break out on a whole new level. Healthy people as well as sick people need help surviving this

We need a human rather than market-based economic model. Shift from financial transaction to humanitarian concern. We need massive organization of free food delivery trucks moving into neighborhoods where people will be running out of food. The time to start getting ready is now.

What do you think the police department and the fire department are? This capitalism versus socialism argument is sophomoric. Socialist Democrat countries have vital catalyst elements. The most enlightened in the society has elements of both.

Not quite that simple, unfortunately.

I’ll stay with where I am, thanks. Your “there” is not my “there.”

A different kind of leadership. One not tied to the prevailing order of things, where corporate money has such an undue influence on what the government does.

European countries like Denmark & Germany having a much more sophisticated, enlightened economic conversation than we are. We’re led by political dinosaurs trying to figure out how best to shore up capitalism-as-usual, when what we need is the will & imagination to reinvent it.

The idea that part of a bailout plan would be helping the already multi-billion dollar oil and gas industry more than we’d help health care workers is morally obscene. It’s like saying, “In response to this crisis, let us give more money to those who are creating the next one.”

Remember the part in the Titanic when upper class passengers locked the doors so lower class passengers couldn’t make it out and only rich people had a chance to survive? The point of America is for things to not be that way. google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com…
