    That was a quote from another poster who was convinced it was all a media hoax.

    Of course it won’t get me very far when everyone keeps responding to him.

    Because I question you? I'm pretty civil about it but the repeated posts about the same thing 20+ times in one thing gets old (and not just to me).

    National mask mandate could save 5 percent of GDP, economists say
    From the Washington Post:

    [A] team of economists at investment bank Goldman Sachs has published an analysis suggesting more painful shutdowns could be averted if the United States implements a nationwide mask mandate.

    “A face mask mandate could potentially substitute for lockdowns that would otherwise subtract nearly 5% from GDP,” the team, led by the company’s chief economist, Jan Hatzius, writes.

    The Goldman Sachs report notes the United States is a global outlier with respect to face mask use, which is widespread in Asia and currently mandated in many European countries. Though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “recommends” the use of masks in public and 20 states plus the District of Columbia have implemented their own mandates, there is no binding national policy, with wide regional variations in mask use around the country.

    There is no help for being an entitled, uneducated asshat.
    The terrible thing to do is be a whiny little child and throw groceries all over the place because your an idiot. Groceries that someone (wearing a mask and putting up with this crap so we can buy groceries) has to clean up.

    If I was interviewing her, I would like to know she possessed these conflict resolution skills before I wasted time on the interview.

    also, i am sure that there are more than a few people who have referenced trump in a lot more posts than me with cuomo, some just hate him so much they have to post over and over. i don't hate cuomo, just think his handling of the outbreak in ny was not as smooth as some think, that's all, he screwded up some things, but will not admit it.

    I just hope they can identify her and charge her for the groceries she threw on the floor.

    If instead she looted the store and broke stuff, would you still want her and her fellow looters identified and charged?

    "WhatAbout people talking about trump!" ?

    As a simple exercise, can you compare and contrast cuomo v. trump in respect to their respective positions and responsibilities when it comes to the "Coronavirus in the United States".

    Perhaps when you've finished, you'll appreciate why trump's name appears more often than one of 50 governors whose state peaked 67 days ago.

    Could it possibly be because Trump is the president of the whole US while Cuomo is only the gov of NY?

    What a dumb question. Of course I would. Do you want this idiot woman to pay for the groceries she ruined?

    i’ll leave the beyond help part to the mental expert and I certainly agree with you on would want to know this information during an interview process however I stop well short of actively seeking out this persons name and purposely destroying their lives

    If i was against having the police go after non-violent crimes, then I wouldn't want her charged. But since I want the police to pursue non-violent crimes, i would want her pursued, arrested and charged.
