We're All In This Together

Excuse me but...   that's BULLSHIT...

We are not all in this together and we have never been all in this together and anyone who thinks or sees life differently, in my opinion has their head up their ass so far that they need a glass belly-button to see out of...

We have Millionaires
We have Billionaires
We have the Upper Middle Class
We have the Middle Class
We have the lower class

We have immigrants
We have celebrities
We have professional athletes
We have professional musicians
We have actors/actresses
We have news anchors
We have CEOs
We have truck drivers
We have pilots
We have military personnel
We have government workers
We have fast food workers
We have janitors and maids
We have taxi drivers
We have priests, pastors, and ministers
We have law enforcement personnel
We have EMS employees
We have healthcare workers
We have professors, instructors, and teachers
We have lawyers
We have dentists
We have physicians and surgeons
We have inmates and prison guards
We have politicians

HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY ALL BE IN THIS TOGETHER?

This just does make any sense to me...

I am retired.
Not working.
Living on Social Security.
Living on Savings.
Staying home because of cancer anyway.
I have a wife.
I have 3 cats.
My wife does all the shopping now.
I post articles on my 4 blogs.
I write poetry.
I watch FOX NEWS.
I watch Cable
I mow the lawn.
I empty the cat litter.
I cook meals.
I take naps.

I have been doing this since January of this year...  only leaving the house when I have a doctor's appointment that seems to be important or critical like my chemo treatments.  When COVID-19 hit, I simply did what I had normally been doing except going out to BRUNCH on Sundays.

My retired life is simply not the same as those Americans who are not retired and have to work, have debt, and bills that need to be paid and children still living at home.

WE ARE IN THIS...   BUT NOT TOGETHER...

20%  of American's population will always live WORSE OFF than the rest of us...

Opening the Economy

CAN AMERICANS BE TRUSTED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT???


We assume that our LEADERS will do what is right


We assume that our MINISTERS/PASTORS/PRIESTS will do what is right


We assume that our SPOUSES and CHILDREN will do what is right


BUT,
we CANNOT assume that our fellow citizens will do what is right as opposed to doing what they want to do or feel like they need to do...

Being from East TN, it is obvious that our State was not hit as hard as other States or other Cities with COVID-19 but that does not give our citizens the RIGHT not to protect themselves or protect the rest of us by their inappropriate behaviors...

Yet, that is exactly what they do.

When watching FOX NEWS, we hear that all sorts of Americans are violating the Stay-at-Home Orders in many States because they do not like to he told what to do...  and, in some instances they are protesting...

SO,
what are the ODDS that AMERICANS will again violate the rules and guidelines if we open up the economy again???

We have no assurances!

And, that is the HUGE downside of being an American and living in AMERICA...   we always seem to do what we WANT rather than do what is RIGHT...
