“What happens next?”
They open the doors to commerce.
It’s Trump’s ultimate trump card.
They have to open the doors or they will not survive fiscally.
Good point!
Open for business
“They open the doors to commerce. It’s Trump’s ultimate trump card.”
Yup. When they have to start laying off teacher’s union members is when it gets real for D’s. In my state at least, the D machine does not function without teacher’s union money and bodies. And when the NGO’s who provide the ecosystem the D’s live in start losing grants and vig, it gets even worse.
The people who support the unions and the NGO’s financially are taxpayers, who aren’t paying much in the way of taxes right now.
So our rulers suddenly have to start making hard choices. Do I stop fixing potholes in the roads or eliminate a grant to a mental health for minority and trans felons program (which subsidizes their woke caring professions ecosystem) or do I eliminate money to keep paying members of the teacher’s union. (Obviously, they will stop fixing potholes first but that doesn’t last long).
Most of their supporters are hiding at home clutching pearls certain that leaving their home will result in sudden, painful death on a ventilator.
D’s who run things here live in a tiny little bubble populated by other woke people.
They hardly know anyone who has lost a job or a business because of the lockdowns. When teachers unions and NGO’s start hurting, suddenly, they will know someone who got hurt and it will hurt their personal and campaign pocketbooks directly.
That’s when they will suddenly decide that we have to open up!
