The Coronavirus

Carnage Tech, they gave him an extra corporal’s stripe because the cadets didn’t listen to privates, and told him to go watch a Pirates game.  So, yes, in some ways American life went on.  He turned in his hours, then he was in the middle of a big city.  Not so much after he was transferred to Italy, but still he had his chances.

But the stock market crash was different from the three military triggers and was different from the Coronavirus.  Different problems effect different people and have different solutions.  Do you expect each crisis to be a duplicate of one before?  If crisis wars were made obsolete by nukes, were you expecting the same response as to a crisis war?  Where did that come from?

You really ought to read S&H for comprehension.  Past crises changed America greatly.  We didn’t go back and didn’t want to go back.  I am projecting that something similar will happen again.

Conservatives generally don’t want change, but guess what is to be expected in a crisis?

So, I am looking at both the beginning and the result.

I view change as part of life. You say that we seem to want to go back to the 3T. It's true, if we be 4T there's no turning back because turning back will only make matters even worse for most this time. I have been saying that our people want to get back to their regular lives and they understand that the only way to do that is by moving forward and coaxing liberal governors to stop stalling and get the lead out so to speak. Time matters and every on the the right understands the relevance of not taking our sweet time about getting the country/economy back on track.

Life in America went on during World War II. My mom met my dad met at a high school dance during World War II. My dad and mom played sports and hung out with their friends during World War II. Moms and dads made babies during World War II. People got married and went to weddings during World War II. My grand parents went about their daily lives while their oldest son was taking part in large scale naval battles and invasions out in the Pacific. People died and went to funerals during World War II. Life went on for most during the Great Depression too.

I bet you and others here would have wanted to go back to the 3T after Pearl Harbor and all through World War II. You have been promoting, advocating and voting for a repeat of the last 4t and another 80 years of the Progressive way of doing things and a return to the way things were during the 1950's.
