The Andrews government has also selfishly harmed the interests of small countries, such as our Pacific island neighbours, undercutting their negotiating positions with China by driving such a weak bargain itself and essentially signing on to texts drafted in Beijing.— Rory Medcalf (@Rory_Medcalf) May 24, 2020

While a single mom in the US gets $1,200 in Covid relief, the GOP plan provides that a millionaire real estate developer gets an average of $1.6 million -- and Trump and Kushner will probably be beneficiaries. My column on more socialism for the rich.

How about this? If you wear a mask, there will be less transmission of the virus, and fewer deaths as the economy reopens. Then the GOP can blame the Dems for being too cautious or whatever, and claim victory. From even a purely political standpoint, it’s a win. So why not do it?
