Can someone explain to me in simple terms what the phrase "reopening the economy" means?  Does it mean forcing governors / mayors to lift stay at home restrictions?  Even then, wouldn't prudent business owners stay closed/keep modified operations for the safety of their employees and public? 

I'm thinking it's just poor terminology, and likely wording to start a political fight...

Yep.  That's why the details of how we start to move forward are so important.  But that is the hard stuff and I fear we are well behind.

Lifting stay at home restrictions, reopening non-essential businesses as well as bars and restaurants, and having most workers return to their offices instead of working from home.  I think schools are done for the year, but it’s interesting that Cuomo is refusing to concede that in New York.

ESPN asking its most highly compensated personalities to take temporary, voluntary pay cuts.

Seems fair to me.

Schools done till the middle of June, yet have most workers return their offices 🤔 (and yeah, I get it, not everyone has a kid, but a F ton of us do)

How can it go wrong?

Ivanka - Trump claims she created 10% of all jobs in the US.

Jared - sells buildings

Kudlow - Covid-19 is "contained

Ross - nice to see a pic of him with his eyes open. He sleeps in meetings more than Carson.


A veritable "dream team". So basically, anything that Trump hasn't F'ed up, this crew will.

I initially thought it was somebody's idea of satire.   Then I thought about it...

Me too. When I saw the thing, I thought it was a Daily Show mock-up, or an Onion piece.

Can you imagine how some folks would be reacting had Hillary won and then put Chelsea and her husband in charge of everything?

Glad to see my state working with the neighbors on the next steps.  Sounds like they have no intention of doing anything Trump administration has to say either.

https:/www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/coronavirus/gov-lamont-to-join-ny-ri-others-to-make-announcement-about-reopening-states-after-covid-19-closures/2254792/%3famp

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the seven partnering states — New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware — would each name a public health official and an economic official to a group that will develop the back-to-work plan."

I read the group may be speaking with Maryland and Virginia also about joining also.

The emperor had a borderline meltdown at his briefing today as he kept saying, over and over (and incorrectly) that he had "total power" to force states to do what he wants the overall country to do.

He watched Charlie Chaplin in The Little Dictator yesterday and felt inspired.
