My dog and I were feeling like heroes. We were the only customers in an outdoor seating area outside a bakery downtown, on a gorgeous spring day. Up and down the sidewalks, there probably weren't more than four people walking around. What a graveyard.
But considering the demographics, I'll bet most people were happy to see themselves and their neighbors commit economic suicide, if there was a chance that it might hurt Trump.
Something surprising went my: it was a ten-year-old boy, whizzing by on a bicycle. He didn't have a helmet on, and he had a careless attitude toward stop signs. In other words, he was acting like a ten-year-old boy. I hope they never change.
This image made me think of the ending of the movie, "Mission." I hope the reader has seen that movie, for several reasons, not least of which is the musical score by Ennio Morricone.
You might remember how it ended, after the climactic bloodbath of the natives: a couple small children had survived, and were traveling away from the tragedy. They couldn't have known exactly where they were going. But they had to go somewhere.
Anyway, that kid on his bicycle was the best thing I saw that day.

Or perhaps, just perhaps some have a higher motive. They are willing to sacrifice a few dollars to save a few lives. Maybe your life was saved by someones social distancing, mask, staying at home, closed store, etc. Just maybe.
Don't forget to add that teaspoon of bleach to your morning coffee. ;-)

kB, this reads like conspiracy theorizing to me, something you usually don't engage in. Isn't the current economic pain more of a "for the greater good" issue?
