    Even if your numbers are right, that is still less than half of the number of people that die on Texas roads each year. I'm still trying to understand why we don't start to harvest the Antibodies from people who have already gotten the Corona Virus.

    Well LSU did win the Natty this year.

    But on a serious note. The money always goes to "friends".

    I'm not one of these people who thinks college isn't worth it (yet), but we need to stop viewing them as well-meaning and benevolent institutions of education. They are political cronies that are as sleazy as the biggest rent seekers and welfare queens in society and as greedy as the greediest business interests in the country. As a former legislative aide and practitioner of "God's Work," I'm no fan of the insurance lobby, but the higher education cartel is ten times worse.

    If those two industries disgust you, stay away from examining the plaintiffs' bar's activities. You'll become apoplectic at the gentlemen doing God's Work!

    I've examined them. They do have their faults. They're choir boys compared to the higher education lobby, but they do have their faults and bad apples.

    The University System stole $172 million from the Cares Act. Can’t wait for the next phone call asking for a donation.

    Like I've said before, a college or university is no more worthy of a donation than your local post office is. In fact, it might be less.

    Some people would rather take their chances with the virus rather than starve to death.

    Just think, guys. LH's vote counts the same as all of ours. I don't know if I should laugh or cry about that.

    I'm not worried about his, but I am worried about the illegals and dead people he "helps" vote.

    Dallas Morning News said the crowds was hundreds. That shot was a couple thousand. They did a good job undercounting the turn out.

    Sad that people think freedom is dumb and wanting to work is somehow uncaring. Takes a pretty uncaring person to think that way.

    Give me liberty or give me death. Pretty original thought, huh?

    You guys do know that there will be a news story reporting that people got the coronavirus from these rallies. LH will be reporting it with certain glee. Then we'll find out that it's fake news and we'll all have another laugh at LH's expense.

    I think some of those people definitely got Corona virus. Listening to a Swedish epidemiologist, it is probable that 30%-50% of the population already has it.

    I have been thinking for weeks that the “bend” in the curve wasn’t 100% due to social isolation but also due to herd immunity. It appears that in nursing homes and the like the virus burns itself out either due to immunity or the host dies. That’s why the death rate flattens. Same for hard hit urban areas and parts of Italy. In short, I think social isolation slows it down but the only true fix is herd immunity.

    Yeah. The only reason to slow down the spread is to prevent prisons from being overwhelmed.

    I am a very bad person. I just don't give a damn if prisons are overwhelmed. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Of course, the only misdemeanor I've ever committed is speeding and driving without my seat belt.

    As someone in a very high risk group (I live with 55-60% lung capacity) I don't expect millions of people to go without work and have their lives destroyed because of me. We'll have to take some risks to get this economy going again.
