Intentionally Vicarious: Having more fun than anyone else you know!

Am I a crazy daredevil, or am I hopelessly risk averse? No offense, but I don't give a damn what your answer to that question may be.

Trump's ability to be an effective President of the United States of America and Commander-In-Chief is incidental to the primary goal of the Dems & Republicans, which is to ensure the ongoing growth and financial health of the Political Industry.

This COVID crisis is serious, but... it's also merely the lastest catastrophe in a centuries-long chain of catastrophes. Everything will be fine.

The short answer to "What's a capitalist's path to community service?" Implement a Willful Impact Business Unit that makes a profit and climbs the Hierarchy of Community Service.

So the COVID crisis got you down? Consider this thought from M. Thomas Blalock, III...

Like it or not you, me and everyone else we know is part and parcel of placing a dollars and cents value on a human life. Get your head around that!

All of it! It all needs to become null and void. The CARES Act got passed in a gigantic hurry. I'm OK with that. BUT... When the crisis is over, the CARES Act needs to end with it. If parts of it make sense, Congress can enact new legislation to reinstate those and only those parts.

Seems like I touched a few nerves with my "Whither the Post Office" episode a couple of weeks ago. Enough so that I feel compelled to respond to a few things that emerged as objections to my perspective.

With politicians and bureaucrats using crises to suck up more power for themselves, we Americans must insist upon and/or take it upon ourselves to accomplish 3 things:

1. ALL "corona-legislation," that is, bills passed to address this black-swan COVID-19 event, must have a 12 month sunset provision.
2. Relax regulatory restrictions - temporarily - to facilitate development and deployment of products and services to address the pandemic and aid economic recovery. Unleash the entrepreneurs!
3. Each of us needs to get and keep our own health and economic house in order NOW! We must do so to avoid becoming a burden on others.
