Snark from CNN

Thank you for your service, Jared Kushner 

www.cnn.com/2020/04/30/opinions/jared-kushner-coronavirus-opinion-bergen/index.html


And now, Kushner comes to Fox News, the Pravda of the Trump administration, to marvel on Wednesday that the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus is "a great success story," claim that that "we have all the testing we need to start opening the country" and state his hope that "by July, the country's really rocking again."

This is as more than 60,000 Americans lie dead -- more than the death toll of the Vietnam War -- and more than 1 million have been confirmed to have been infected with the virus with no end in sight. There is widespread agreement among experts that we don't have the testing capabilities to return to any semblance of normal life and also that a second wave of infections could hit the country badly later in the year.

Jared is a tool.

there is no way this country is rocking by July.

many companies will fail. businesses will be straddled with debt. supply chains are massively disrupted. you don't fix that in 2 months. Jared should know that. he probably does.

Jared is a Baltimore slumlord.   I wonder if he's collecting rent, or are the tenants too poor, working at minimum wage?

I wonder how many restaurants will go under. Even when they relax restrictions, are they going to have enough business to stay afloat?

I would not be surprised if he doesn't know. Supply chain and logistics is not something he dealt with in the real estate business. Macro economics isn't easily understood. He might be blowing smoke, or wishful thinking. Or he might be fully ignorant of how things really work.

Probably not. Especially if they have to reduce the number of people they can seat inside. Then, even if there are people eating there, there are mandates to keep people out.

My kids and I were talking last night.  They both work at a local huge entertainment complex.  Sports bar, restaurant, bowling alley, volleyball courts, conf center.  My son and I were having lunch there on 3/17 and talking to the owner when the news came out that they had to shut down completely.  The owner was so concerned about his employees.  One manager was calling people to cancel bday parties, wedding receptions, meetings, charity events, bowling leagues, volleyball leagues, etc.  It was really heart breaking!  I think they are big enough to survive, but both my kids are wondering if they will be able to work there this summer.

You might be surprised.  They will come. 

My DD came home yesterday (she still has an apartment in WW, so she has been staying there).  She said she came home for Indian Food.  Said she had online homework to do, so I left her alone for a bit, then took some Gel nail polish down to her.  She confessed to me that her friend had put sent out a PSA and found someone to do their nails.  She also told me that word is that people have been ticketed for violating the Shelter at Home orders.  Our young people feel that they are invincible.  So, yeah - I bet they will be open by July. Milwaukee Still wants to make the DNC Convention happen. Just reading a mid April Milwaukee Business Journal article - yeah, they will not give that up easily.

I was reading an article about how down in the dumps Trump was after the sanitizer debacle and the ensuing slump in his poll numbers ( this was when he supposedly made the comment “I can’t lose to fucking Biden”) and to help offset his sour mood Jared went out and put the rosiest spin on the economy and trumps performance fighting the virus.

Pathetic that the man needs a folder of positive news clippings every day and friends and allies willing to lie to and for him to bolster his fragile ego and stop him from whiny and sulking. Seems like more important things should be occupying that bigly brain.

You are forgetting....that is all that is important to him...his numbers, his ratings....he thinks he is popular, he doesn't understand how many of us out here can't stand him....that is beyond his comprehension.
