Democrat Operative Says Coronavirus Is Good For The Planet

Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.

Never eat Sushi past its expiration date.

Those who refuse to drain the swamp are doomed to drown in it.

Somebody should do a parody of "The Real Slim Shady", substituting "Please Shut Up", "Please Shut Up".

So she has an opinion. Um yay?

Some of those things undoubtedly are good for the planet in terms of reduced emissions. Using an old office building as public housing wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

The sticking point is that to some degree all these shutdowns and emptying outs are temporary. Using a building is better than leaving it sit empty for 20 years.

She aborted her brain.

I'm conservative, but this not something you write about during the crisis.


Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

It all sounds like an editorial focused on the economic angle of the crisis and what we might do in its wake. I don’t really see what would be bad about throwing ideas out there except that you don’t like the ideas...

One thing it is good for, and this is scientific fact, and that is long-term survival of the species. Pandemics killing the weakest members of a species of any animal helps to thin the herd and allow the fittest members' genes to be passed on. Humans are the only species on earth that go out of their way to save the lives of their weakest members. Is saving lives the humane thing to do? Absolutely. Is it in the best interest of the long-term survival of the species? Probably not.

Both excellent points... we were also never designed to live as long as we do... 2,020 years ago Jesus died at 34... he was relatively old... someone who's 93 dies here... that's incredibly old and would have baffled people at the time most likely, there weren't too many people seeing their 70's let alone their 80's or 90's. Even in 1934 when Social Security started 65 was chosen because most people didn't make it much past 70.

How would MOST of the cabinet perform if you scrutinized them the same way.

Let's see how Trump would perform.

Another example of taking two paragraphs out of a longer column/article and using it to slam somebody. Read the whole column or you shut up. Is it liberal/progressive? Yes. Is it out of line or inappropriate? Only if you are as thin-skinned as our current leader.
