    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is one of the most incoherent things I've ever seen. How is universal healthcare a hallmark of "tech savvy farmers?" What does that even mean?

    Science and tech are definitely more the province of farmers than cities, that's for sure. I can't wait for those tech-savvy farmers to provide us with the vaccine for COVID-19.

    LOL
    Also, it's the blue states and the blue cities that will be providing hospital space and expertise in handling the overflow from the rural red regions during this crisis. The red areas are woefully ill prepared and ignorant of what's going on and what we face in the future.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Going to look into becoming one of those tech-savvy farmers? And if guns is one of the future trends for society, that kind of puts you at a disadvantage, doesn't it? What with your ninja sword portfolio and discomfort with guns.

    I believe we will start being more self reliant as a nation, and less reliant on foreign imports. Farming would be good to get into. Not my thing, but I think it will thrive once this has passed and we are on the road to recovery.

    I think globalism is only going to continue once the pandemic passes.

    We are going to have issues with China going forward. The new cold war begins.

    This is why we can't have nice things. No one's thinking of what Trump must be going through at a time like this. We get so wrapped up in our own issues and the issues of the people he's been failing.

    Good thing they didn't have that international summit at Mar-A-Lago. I guess they could have put sleeping bags on the beach and held their summit in beach lawn chairs. Food would have been complicated but there's always take out.

    Depends on how long it goes for. I think this will fundamental change major aspects of our lives. The longer it lasts the more aspects of our lives will be affected.

    He deserves it.
    1. Has to work hard drinking his three martini lunch;
    2. Must work diligently thinking of new novel ways to screw small time investors out of everything;
    3. You think his job is easy? Try chasing your secretary round and round the desk. It's damn tiring;
    4. Got to play endless games of miniature golf in the office finding newer and newer places to sink that put;
    5. Somehow never reaching the end of excuses on how not to take telephone calls nor receive visitors.
    It's a tough life and he deserves his raise.
    I even left out the part about telling his secretary why he'd be late arriving to work every day, leaving for lunch early, arriving back from lunch late and going home early. That doesn't even explain the endless worries about expense reports and "sick" days.

    It's a dog's life.
    You'd have to find new things to buy with all that money. Gold umbrella holders and the like. Pool parties with nubile young ladies in bikinis running around everywhere gets tiresome.
    And then there's the vacations. Bahamas again? No, got to find someplace new. How about the South of France? Again no, damn foreigners don't even speak English. Switzerland? Maybe, there are places where lots of money is useful. Possibly, place this in the eeny meeny miney moe category.
