Wanted one last public shower

#9 Cuba expropriated American industry in Cuba after the revolution. Castro died a very rich man while others stayed poor. Similar in other communist countries.

Nationalization a synonym for seizing?

#10 By the time he gets done with NYC, NYC will be a war zone. 6 month shutdown, and that is just the promise...all these little tyrants who get their own personal martial law, do you seriously think they will just give it up at the drop of a napkin?

And nothing says serious conversation like a cup of coffee with Joy Reid.

#11 Let's nationalize the news media, fire them all and hire new actual humans, then un-nationalize it again.

#12 Follow the $$$. This despicable little shit is almost certainly going to try to line his/his family's pockets in the bargain.

#13 So, he wants Trump to have more control?

He specified the need for companies that make ventilators, surgical masks, and hand sanitizers to be taken over and made to work around the clock.

Made to work round the clock? So, he's saying that companies that make those products have idle capacity even though those products are flying off the shelves? Has he checked the collective bargaining agreements any of those companies may have for "work-round-the-clock" provisions, or are we basically talking about slave labor?

#14 are we basically talking about slave labor?

But it's for the children!

#15 The "made to work around the clock" made my brain flash to images of the movie Metropolis. Lines of workers, shift changes, utter horror in every step.

#16 Yep Whiskey Mike, that's what all these 2 bit wannabe tyrants are looking forward to.

Just one more lit match in the powder room.
