"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
At this difficult moment in American history, we must be honest with ourselves:
Our nation, once the envy of the world, is now in profound decline.
For the sake of our children and future generations, we must reverse course.
@HiltonGrandVac It's now been over 8 weeks since our HGV presentation and I've yet to receive the promised Hilton Honors points. Who can I contact about that?

As our thoughts turn to Carl Sagan on the 29th anniversary of his death, let’s remember the words, more apt than ever, from an essay that he and Ann Druyan wrote in 1988, addressed to newly elected President George H. W. Bush entitled “Give Us Hope.”
“Let's stop talking about how "great" we are. This is the refrain of an unsure and insecure people. What would we think of someone who goes around telling everybody he meets how “great” he is? Claiming that America is “great" is far more significant if others say it. Let us make a society so just and free and productive that even our adversaries acknowledge its greatness.
Raise the quality of debate in American life. Lift the standards of discourse and analysis. Do not hide behind a phalanx of advisers. Cherish dissent. Talk to us. Be courageous; there are higher goals than re-election. Uphold the Constitution even when it seems to get in your way. Do not lie to us, and do not tolerate those who do. Stand with those who postpone short-term personal gain for the long-term benefit of the society. Give us hope.
Return us to the path of exploration and discovery, of innovation and openness to new ideas. Give America a dream of the future worthy of what we see in our daughter's eyes. Broaden our perspective — beyond ethnic group and economic class, jingoist nationalism, race and religion—to embrace, for the benefit of all the children yet to come, the species and the planet."
