1/ Many people are saying “I want to go back to work” who are actually just saying they want to eat, feed their children and pay their bills. What kind of (rich) country tells its citizens to make a choice between risking their lives or risking hunger for their families.

The U S. is not rich. Politicians allowed all production to be sent overseas, resulting in a trade deficit and dependency on other nations for critical supplies. The wealth of a country isn't measured by its potential; it is measured by its production. WEALTH IS CREATED BY WORK.

Where is the compassion in the U.S. Government? ... “Why are so many people in trouble? And if you can’t do better than that - Let the lovers get in there- Let the visionaries, artists, yogis, get in there. Let the scientists and teachers get in there. “

I never stopped working. I've worked every single day. No problems. I'm cautious but I'm not going to starve and lose everything I worked my entire life for. I'm not going to see my family suffer needlessly and I'm not going to depend on the government.
