Michigan cities face big financial losses due to coronavirus - mlive.com
"The rainy day is here.
Governments that oversee Michigan cities and other municipalities are feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Local government leaders are forecasting millions of dollars in tax revenue loss, and making plans to try to stay afloat.
...On top of the revenue challenge, governments are having to provide additional staffing, meet higher demands, provide personal protective equipment and more, as the coronavirus remains a threat.
...The problem is hitting Michigan cities regardless of size.
Detroit, Michigan’s largest city, is working to plug a revenue loss in the hundreds of millions of dollars, while Iron Mountain, a small town in the Upper Peninsula, may need to find savings in employee health care and retirement costs because its staffing level never recovered after cuts during the Great Recession.
...The city of Detroit projects a $348 million revenue loss impacting the general fund for the duration of 2020, through June 30, 2021...

Directors of hate and blame whitey!-----Universities hire new diversity czars while collecting federal bailout dollars

...One of the universities receiving these funds is the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, which announced Thursday that it recently hired a new “director of diversity and community relations” officer, specifically for its business school...

Most U.S. Hospitals Are Empty. Soon They Might Be Closed for Good | Opinion
"Tens of thousands of health care workers across the United States are going without pay today, even as providers in the nation's hot spots struggle to contain the coronavirus pandemic
...But instead of merely preserving hospital beds and other resources, this heavy-handed injunction has created a burden of its own design: a historic number of empty beds in systems left untouched by the pandemic.
At 18 percent of the U.S. economy, health care is a $3.6 trillion industry annually.
By barring all elective surgeries, which covers a huge array of operations, like knee reconstructions or even cancer biopsies, hospitals have been denied billions in revenue in just the last month alone.
Outpatient services account for half of all hospital revenue, which means hospitals are now making, and spending, half what they were this time last year..."

"The reluctance of progressive Democrats to return the country to a normal, functioning status seems more directed at proving the problem was real..." --Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"The Coronavirus scare will go down in history as the first postmodern pandemic, revealing that the actions of postmodernist progressives are more directed toward the maintenance of the problem rather than solving it.
Why would they prolong the pain, one might ask?
Well, it's the same old reasons - it's power and relevance. 

The pandemic gives them both - during the pandemic, they get to exercise power without objection they normally wouldn't and by impoverishing the citizenry through economic shutdowns, they get to dole out money to prove they are relevant.
The reluctance of progressive Democrats to return the country to a normal, functioning status seems more directed at proving the problem was real than healing a nation from what history will record was the greatest self-inflicted economic wound a country could vest on itself.

Tucker Carlson Delivers Another Epic Monologue, Calls Out ‘Egregious Censorship Effort’ Of Big Tech - Chicks On The Right

Tucker Carlson Delivers Another Epic Monologue, Calls Out ‘Egregious Censorship Effort’ Of Big Tech - Chicks On The Right
"...Last night, Carlson addressed troubling censorship by big tech. 
He highlighted the case of the California doctors that have been censored on YouTube.

Mock wrote about these physicians and their video that was making the rounds to millions on the internet.

These doctors had the nerve to question the need to lockdown and compared COVID-19 data to the flu. 
YouTube simply could not allow this and removed their video.

Carlson warned, “…dissent of any kind, is no longer tolerated in this country. Fact-based honesty, which is the soul of science, is under attack, even in hospitals.”

From Fox News:
“People have different opinions,” Carlson said. 
“More informed debate is exactly what we need to make wise decisions going forward, but unfortunately for all of us, informed debate is exactly what the authorities don’t want. 
They want unquestioned obedience, so they’re cracking down on free expression.”...
“The only justification for taking it down was that the two physicians on screen had reached different conclusions from the people currently in charge.” Carlson said.
YouTube’s CEO told CNN it is their policy to remove “medically unsubstantiated” information and anything that goes against World Health Organization recommendations.
This is terrifying.
...Differing medical opinions should be discussed and debated. 
Who among us, if found to have a serious medical condition, does not seek a second opinion?
The WHO has not proven to be an accurate source of information about the coronavirus over the course of this crisis. 
Remember when they initially claimed that the virus could not transmit human to human? 
And more than that, they have shown themselves to be a nakedly political organization.
YouTube is not the only influential platform censoring speech. 
Facebook is also taking part in this dangerous practice...

Why are we employing and paying for this racist?----Rutgers prof: 'F*ck each and every Trump supporter'

Rutgers prof: 'F*ck each and every Trump supporter'
"Rutgers University Associate Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Brittney Cooper says Trump supporters are to blame for the disproportionate number of black Americans who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a tweet thread on Tuesday, Cooper wrote, "I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd to push [sic] to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID. 
Not only do white conservatives not care about Black life, but my most cynical negative read of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome this massive winnowing of Black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political power."
..."I am saying some obvious things this morning because as a country we are too good at skipping over the audience and we might as well say this to people as often as we can. 
Fuck each and every Trump supporter. 
You all absolutely did this. 
You are to blame," she added...

"ANGELA MERKEL is preparing Germany to take the helm of the EU Council Presidency for the last six months of this year, admitting that it will be, "clearly dominated by the issue of combatting the pandemic and its consequences".
...To divert attention away from Germany's rejection of Coronabonds (mutual debt issued by the EU to pay for propping up the Italian, Spanish and French economies) Angela Merkel has announced the German Presidency of the EU will push for the EU to impose 

• a carbon tax, 
• a harmonised corporation tax and 
• a financial transactions tax.  

...The design of these taxes, and the legal infrastructure needed to collect them, is already well advanced – each of them has been on the EU's agenda for many years,  waiting for an appropriate crisis in which to implement them..."
