Why Trump Is Right Not To Cede Power Over The Lockdowns

President Trump gains nothing by conceding power over the state by state lockdowns. He should defend his branch of government.

Alexa is overhyped. ANybody with half a brain who has been paying attention knows that Donald Jenius Trump has this under control and that we will be opening the economy full throttle by Easter, if not before.

They should rename the Dow Jones as the Up Jones because it is going UP UP UP and won't stop, can't stop.

WSJ News Exclusive | Possible Chinese Nuclear Testing Stirs U.S. Concern

China might be secretly conducting nuclear tests with very low explosive power despite Beijing’s assertions that it is strictly adhering to an international accord banning all nuclear tests, according to a new arms-control report to be made public by the State Department.

Through out American history, there is a notion that rural (white) residents are better and more deserving of political power and resources.

The dialectic around the electoral college is a prime example of this. The argument is residents of low population (a proxy for rural) States deserve outsized political power and the opposing position that everyone’s vote count equally. No one advocates for outsized votes for urban residents, there is no urban chauvinism comparable to rural chauvinism.

That rural chauvinism has, to varying degrees, contributed to terrible policies such as prohibition; a delayed response to the AIDS crisis; divestment out of urban black communities and corn subsidies, which is its own public health crisis. Those policies disproportionately harm urbanites as well as the large numbers of black, Latino, native and poor whites who live in rural areas. Obviously, this rural chauvinism is closely linked to white supremacy but even if we could only rid our politics of rural chauvinism but not white supremacy, our country would be more just and have better policy outcomes.

It looks like in this crisis, the white, rural, property-owning petty aristocracy will actually suffer some harm as a result of their politics which holds the belief that white, property owners in rural America are different and special and superior.

Don't forget the reinterpretation of the 2nd amendment and the resultant gun epidemic.
