Regarding COVID, I've always been responding the economy sooner ...


than later. You can read that on the main board and here. However, I'm also a realist. I want the truth so the people are empowered to make don't decisions. Trump's lies did not do that. That creates for more inefficiency and ultimately deaths. The free flow of information is critical in any healthy free market.

Do l like being forced to wear masks? Of course not. Who does? However, I'm also pragmatic. The sooner we get rid of the virus, the sooner we get back our economy. Even if the effectiveness of masks are muted, the perception of a safer environment will help consumption and production.

There's a reason why I despised Trump. I know what he did to my friends at Deutsche. He's a lying sack of shit. Even then, I didn't think he'd be this bad. It wasn't like i trusted Hillary. Then Ukraine happened ... that's when my worst fears were realized. That's when I migrated from the main to this board. I gave Trump a chance because that was the American will. However, too many betrayals leads to contempt. Unfortunately, I was proven right ... and this is with my wallet helped with lesser taxes. Money is not always the answer.

To be honest, once Trump actually steps out of office, I'll head back to the main board. Unless Trumpers do more awful things. I'll leave the policy debates with you guys. In fact, if Trump conceded ... I would have left after the election.
