The View from the Tenderloin


The View from the Tenderloin

Watching the news, and talking with my caregiver this morning got me to thinking. The "riots/demonstrations" dominate much of the coverage. The anger and outrage that is generated by all this tends to block clear thinking. How do we fix this?
The plague. That has to come first, as inconvenient as that fact is, there is no way around it. Once that is under control, one way or the other I guess, the answer is simple.

Put people back to work. Everyone knows that, both parties are aware, hell, even Hitler knew that. Millions of jobs are gone, and those that do come back will come back slowly. The Biden administration, God willing, can put people to work doing infrastructure and generally fixing the disaster left by the Trump criminal enterprise. Working people don't have much energy for demonstrations or anything else.

Hold those dear to you close

God save the Republic
