#1 "Look at this." he said pointing to blocks of boarded-up storefronts. "It looks like I’m in the slums of L.A."

ZOMG, what a racist.

#2 Lots of "Economists"* lovingly totaled the damage from lockdown for us. How about totaling the damage from the riots?

*I don't believe anybody who doesn't understand external diseconomies understands economics.

#3 "It looks like I’m in the slums of L.A."

They elected Donks too. There's a pattern there.

#4 A whole lot of lefties are going to learn some interesting details about insurance and banking, good and hard. The thing for normal people to keep in mind is that may be a catalyst for a lefty diaspora out into normal America.

#5 a lefty diaspora out into normal America
Millennials are fleeing big city life during the pandemic for the country where they're snapping up 'cheap old houses' found on Instagram for as little as $18k

#7 Well, when you do away with history, like 1968, you can't learn from history.

#8 As long as the displaced Millennials are friendly, don't expect 'city stuff', complain about animal noises or hunting (or behave like fools), the rural folks might actually welcome them and invite them over for dinner and cards.

Plus the rural folks have decent equipment to pull your vehicle out of the ditch when you drive like an idiot on unplowed roads.

#13 A stunning statistic that I read the other day said that Hillary Clinton who won over 2 million more popular votes than Donald Trump in 2016, only carried 61 counties in the United States out of a total of 3100. Thank God for the Electoral College and the genius of the founders, and diffusing the big city power centers might actually be good in some ways?
