COVID-19: Texas official suggests elderly willing to die for economy
Then The Federalist chimes in: Writer For 'The Federalist' Suggests Social Distancing To Save People's Lives May Not Be Worth Economic Costs
Then Brett Hume chimes in.
Where were these people when government inaction and lack of tests and of protective equipment put many more American lives in jeopardy than would have been had we adopted the very successful South Korean approach?
We are seniors, successful and comfortable enough to have suffered setbacks in the stock market, but also seniors to see that if the wealthy and businesses are worried about the poor being unprotected they should give back their tax cuts and enact sensible reforms---not tell their grandparents to commit passive suicide!!!
The seniors I know who are retired lead happy and purposeful lives. They are the heart of many volunteer and church ministries, sometimes several at a time--I know I am.
They are loved and cherished by children and grandchildren whom they love and cherish in return.

Re: the idea that seniors should risk their lives to save the economy: income inequality is rampant and accelerating. The 1% have a huge share of the country's wealth.

My message to them: it's your prosperity. You make the sacrifice.
