It's this mindset that's killing people and I can't figure out if they're upset that coronavirus patients get so much attention or if they're actually upset that all the other problems don't.
Suffering from Covid-19 envy?
Either way, they're mostly dead people we don't personally know so they don't much matter.
Let 'em die if that's what it takes to keep our investments up..they ain't our parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles, brothers, sisters. Heck, all my aunts/uncles/both parents/all 4 grandparents, most of my cousins, most of my old friends, and 2 siblings already dead so why should I give a sheit?
I want my dang stock valuations back up, and I want to be able to go to town, get a haircut, get my latte, watch a baseball game in Minutemaid Park, sit down and eat a plate of enchiladas at Agave's restaurant, and all these selfish self absorbed people that want social distancing and spoutin the 'stay the F at home' crap are getting into my portfolio and screwing with my all important daily lifestyle and I'm gettin really tired of it. It'll be 100 years for this country to get back on it's feet, and we'll all have to be armed 24/7 to keep the rabble from coming to our homes and taking our toilet paper and pinto beans. Heck I only know a couple of people in NY and they deserve to die anyway for choosing to live and work there. It's their own damn fault. 1000 or more lives a day is cheap enough price paid in order for my equities to stay up there where I want 'em.
