I have to jump on this a little because I don't think Josh understands WHY people who want to the country to *responsibly* and *methodically* reopen, want it to reopen.

So I'm going to spell it out really simple:
Unemployed people descend into a slow death spiral. https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1253304174537818114

I have seen what destitution can do to individuals and communities.

I also know that people can climb out of poverty.

This is different. This is a violation of the Fifth Amendment on a grand scale. This is something almost impossible empathize with unless it happened to you.

The very institution that we elected, with our implied consent, and under the use of emergency powers, struck down not just our ability to make a living, but our ability to make that call for ourselves.

Most of us here are not paid political hacks and we have our contingencies on how to live under five more years of Trump or 8 more years of Stacey Abrams.

We actually CARE about more than just "how the economy will help Trump win or lose."

Because those people who are unemployed through no fault of their own are going to need help. Those who have maintained their jobs will get taxed to death to help them AND will also have to step up and help their local communities. We feel that weight.

And this endless attacking of motives, this endless talking past each other is just absurd.

We know more today than 37 days ago.

We should expect people to behave responsibly.

No one will be perfect in this.
