My Kingdom for a Leader
As of today there is this:
6,117,000
reported cases of COVID.
The death toll exceeds more than 1,000 of
our countrymen each and every day.
More than 179,000
people have died of the virus with hundreds upon hundreds of
thousands of additional lives surviving and crippled by
disabling complications.
The national unemployment rate is 10.2%
with 31.8 million people claiming jobless benefits.
Do
you hear
that rumble in the distance? That is not a protest march or
even rioters – that is a growing avalanche of business
bankruptcies headed directly at us.
55% of businesses
shuttered during the worst of the pandemic in March will never
reopen.
The economy so far has replaced only about 9 million of the
22 million jobs lost in March and April.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention implemented a temporary eviction moratorium
through the end of the year which – according to the Treasury
Secretary – will delay (not prevent) as many of 40 million people
being turned out on the street.
About
the rioting and destruction of property? The truth of the matter is
that the vast majority of our countrymen do not riot, burn or take
the law into their own hands and murder their brethren.
Law-abiding,
peaceful and civil society continues uninterrupted across virtually
all of our great nation.
The real shitstorm is the absence of leadership on the pandemic and the economy.
