I am asking because certain elements of the political fringes are hoping the virus destroys the economy for an election advantage, and it is not at all lost on my observations that the media sources you keep posting as evidence are known to be aligned on one side of this fringe... Care to comment?

I am a "Realist" - one who is desperately trying to understand the severity of CV19 because I fall in Category 1 - most likely to die from CV19. I am taking all the precautions recommended by the experts. I am trying to live some semblance of a "normal life" but will make what ever sacrifices are asked of me.

I wish we had a "wartime" president (like FDR) instead of a real estate salesman. I wish Andrew Cuomo was president. I wish people would take S-I-P seriously as opposed to a two week vacation.

I use MS Edge as my browser so it's home page is where I get access to news and such:



I try not to post Opinion or Analysis pieces. They are not news. I do not have an agenda when it comes to politics. Frankly the subject boors me. Never in my life have I been interested in politics. I think in the last 30 years I have gone to the polls maybe 3X to vote for anyone. One definitely sticks out. Lynbrook High School wanted more money - a lot of money. It was put to the voters to say yah or nay. Voters said nay. LHS didn't like that so somehow they were able to hold another vote. Voters once again said nay. So LHS used some buried in fine print law that allowed them to sidestep the voters and got their money. And I got a $3000 per year increase in my property taxes.
