Trump* doesn't care about anything other than getting elected again.

Insignificant Collateral damage, anyone?
We'd save lives if we made the speed limit 5mph, but we don't do that. How come?

"At 3000 deaths a day"

Interesting math. How long has the virus been here? 80 days? More? And we're at 67,000 deaths? I mean, we all know that math isn't liberals' strong suit, but that's some creative, far-fetched math even for a liberal. Which is less than a bad flu season, and we don't destroy the national economy every flu season.

I'm not saying for sure I think we over-reacted. And hindsight is always 20-20. But you can make a case that we didn't need to do this. Look at Sweden, Taiwan, etc...

'Just WHO is your 401K worth to you?'

Look d*ckhead, you asked me if I'm better off today than I was in January of 2017, I said I was, and I provided support, like my 401k and 529 plans being up. You didn't like my answer, and you couldn't think of a sensible response (because there isn't one), so you moved the goalposts and somehow conclude that because I'm happy my 401k is up, somehow that means I don't care about people. Wanting to retire comfortably, and caring for people, aren't mutually exclusive. Are they? I don't see why they would be, but I'm sure you have an answer that's just full of common sense. Please share.

"Trump* doesn't care about anything other than getting elected again."

Quite the mind reader.
