Seriously. The CDC and the WHO have repeatedly said that just one month of mandatory masks would practically eliminate the virus. We wouldn't even need to shut down businesses. We could have done the one-month thing in March and been back to normal in April, just like New Zealand. But Trump refuses to do it. And why? I personally can't believe it's because he's too stupid to understand the science. I'm far more inclined to believe that he thinks all the deaths benefit him somehow. That's why this is still happening.
I know, right? I suppose all the righties must be super excited about Trump cutting the payroll tax a few months ago. If he gets reelected, he's going to make that change permanent, which means no more social security. Yay! Less socialism! Finally.
Although....Trump is probably still gonna keep giving money to the oil companies. Can't afford to lose them, I guess. And the farmers and banks. Oh, and Walmart. Can't forget about Walmart. I mean, sure, each super center costs taxpayers about $1.5 million dollars every single year to keep it open, and that money could be spent instead on schools or roads or a hundred other things those community needs. But nothing is more American than big business and cheap toilet paper! So we should probably keep Walmart.
