You first, Senator Johnson. You go open up “parts of the economy” first, since you’re so open to death.

Yes, today Senator Johnson bemoaned the sickened economy and worried about its fate since an economy’s death is catastrophic, your colleague’s death is simply a part of life, as he wrote in USA Today:

What more people are saying is that as we learn more about COVID-19, we should evaluate the total societal cost of this awful disease and try to put things into perspective.

Each year, approximately 48,000 Americans commit suicide and an estimated 67,000 die of a drug overdose. That level of individual despair has occurred in a strong economy with near-record low levels of unemployment in virtually every demographic.

We absolutely should evaluate the societal costs, just as soon as we know the human costs, so we can weigh the dangers on each side. Johnson believes he’s already seen enough and is talking about 48,000 committing suicide and 67,000 drug overdoses – which, added together, is getting closer to the approximations that doctors are making now as to the total number of dead, somewhere between 100k and 200k, unless it gets much worse and is 2 million.

That is the point, we don’t know what “human cost” we’re dealing with yet, so it is not the point to evaluate the economic cost, either.

Every premature death is a tragedy, but death is an unavoidable part of life. More than 2.8 million die each year — nearly 7,700 a day. The 2017-18 flu season was exceptionally bad, with 61,000 deaths attributed to it. Can you imagine the panic if those mortality statistics were attributed to a new virus and reported nonstop?...

1. Then step on up and volunteer your OWN sacrifice, genocidal cretin

[atreides1]

8. Not just him!!!

His entire family! Let's be honest...his family is reaping the rewards of the office he holds...and none of them have stepped up to speak out against this maniac!

So, if he's intent on getting the economy going again...then he and his family should lead the way...and this goes for anyone who thinks the same as he does!!!

2. The Fella Is Welcome To Step Up And Show Us All, Ma'am

"What a nimrod! What a ultra-maroon!"

3. Don't interfere with Nature, Senator Johnson, or the economy.

Set an example!

[redstatebluegirl]

4. When is this vile piece of crap up for reelection?

Will Wisconsin reelect this idiot?

[LakeArenal]

13. Probably. Very gerrymandered.

He beat Russ Feingold for gawd’s sake.

[redstatebluegirl]

14. Senator is a state wide race can't be gerrymandered.

The whole darn state voted for this fool.

[LakeArenal]

15. Yes but Evers has Republicans in control.

Evers has a very tough job.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Just watch everyone who listens to this idiot (he's not a doctor or anything like that) get ...

potentially sick and / or heaven forbid, die. These guys are politicians trying to f**king score points somehow by BS'ing everyone. Idiot. Again, the economy is more important to this idiot and the billionaires that he obviously represents, and not his voters.

[Newest Reality]

6. Now,

Now, that's what I call a pro-life view, all fetal worship aside!

You bet. Death is inevitable. We all know that. We are trying to minimize and prevent them Sen. Jownstown. Practical, huh? Oh, your constituents are just statistics. Do THEY know that? Why not email them and make your point?

The family that dies together flies together! Remember to set your lives aside so that an oligarch might live. Industry must go on at all costs. Take a bullet for it if you have to, and your kids and the elders should, too.

[Tech]

7. I challenge him to step out of his ivory tower and volunteer at a hospital with the same

protection against the virus as those working on the hospital. Or work with the homeless, or with young kids. Get out of his isolation and off the phone to his comrades or billionairs.

9. The giant JOHNSON from Wisconsin.

[Grins]

10. LOVE the closing sentence!

“It is always the conservatives.”

[OnDoutside]

11. Fantastic ad material !

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. It absolutely is.

And he's welcome to go first. Leadership by example and all that.
