GOP senator calls on Trump to reopen parts of the coronavirus-stricken economy because 'death is an unavoidable part of life'

Subtlety is dead and so is satire.

"Fuck your lives, I have rich donors I need to appease!"

Saw in the article that we're getting another stimulus package. Music to all our ears I'm sure.

Eh, given that many of us still haven't gotten the first stimulus check, I'm not holding my breath.

If we do, cash it as soon as possible. I hear the guy who signs them writes a lot of bad checks.

I got the first payment ages ago. But then I had already done my taxes this year.

Article is March 20 btw.

No, we must completely shut down the economy until there are no more cases of COVID-19. Stopping COVID-19 is the only thing that matters, no matter how many people are impoverished, lose months to a year of education, or get mentally damaged by the isolation.

In fact, the only thing worth risking another COVID-19 outbreak over is protesting, rioting, and looting over racial issues. We should allow that, but nothing else.

Just hold on a second now..

Darn radical leftists and their *checks notes* belief in the value of human life.

If bitches cared about the economy, they could send recurring stimulus checks to every american for the duration of the crisis and pay people to sit they asses at home. Then it would go into the economy for pizza deliveries and rent and bills instead of going to stock buybacks and offshore accounts in some island.

But that's all fluff. You saw a Republican senator saying "Well, death isn't such a big deal. Deal with it." And you went "I will go to bat to defend this."

So, which of your loved ones do you volunteer to die so the economy will go again? How many friends and relatives do you have? Just remember that you won't get to attend a funeral when they do die, nor can you hold their hand as the last of the life fades from their eyes.

The senator never said that death isn't a big deal, nor that if you die, you die. The senator said that we should keep the deaths in perspective.

I asked GreyICE this, Fuzzy, and now I'll ask you. If you have to be dishonest too push your viewpoint, is it possible that you are, in fact, wrong?

I know GreyICE won't give me an honest answer, but I'm only 90% confident that you won't.
