Government retirement is guaranteed. And government jobs are guaranteed. So, where is the problem?
I saw one of the players interviewed who said that he would not want to risk visiting his grandmother and giving her the C virus. That indicated to me the panic that had flooded our country. Maybe he could have not visited his grandmother for a few weeks
Cancelling future tournaments which would have involved travel is understandable. Cancelling one where all the essential people are already there seems different to me.
I’m convinced that most of these sports organizations were ready to implement a plan to hold their events with no spectators. That all changed when the NBA suspended its season after one of their PLAYERS tested positive and had to be quarantined.
Sadly, it will be the opposite. They cannot think of anyone else to turn to if the business world is gone. Nobody else is big enough.

Media and government types also did just fine during the Great Depression, as a rule. No worries.
(1) Protect the elderly and the infirm to the best of our ability. Spend whatever it takes.
(2) Do not destroy the American economy and our standard of living.
(3) In the USA, there is ZERO evidence that COVID-19 is worse than previous severe flu seasons.
(4) Is New York state worse?
No.
Last week, New York had 7,200 new influenza infections and 1,000 new influenza hospitalizations.
Two months ago, the New York influenza numbers were THREE times that high.
In 2018, New York had 4,749 influenza deaths in a completely average influenza season.
Did Governor Cuomo shut down the entire state of New York in 2018 to save lives?
Of course not!
It does not mean anarchy. It doesn’t mean you don’t obey the law, pay taxes, call 911 in an emergency. It means you don’t follow blindly. You “question authority” as the bumper sticker says, and start rethinking your assumptions.

“It does not mean anarchy. It doesn’t mean you don’t obey the law, pay taxes, call 911 in an emergency. It means you don’t follow blindly”
LOL! That’s ‘trust but verify’!
Not when you’re voting it isn’t.
Huh?
Or, we can get back to work and apply social distancing.
He is NOT saying schools control the economy he is saying CLOSING the schools started the chain reaction of CLOSING every damn thing in the country!! Open the schools and others will follow kids are not at risk HOWEVER we can keep our kids away from the elderly and when they return home from school wash their hands change their clothes ect.
If you no longer blindly trust the government, you might make different choices at the ballot box. You don’t trust and you have already verified based on the candidates track record.
“If you no longer blindly trust the government,”
Moving the goal posts ...
What is obvious is you have responded to moved goalposts.
“It doesn’t mean you drive on the left side of the road because you feel like it.”
Do you trust the government to keep the other driver on his side or do you trust that he doesn’t want to get hurt?
I guess you think Reagan was an anarchist:
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
