Every one heard of the perfect storm theory. It’s definition is a particularly bad or critical state of affairs, arising from a number of negative and unpredictable factors. You have a pandemic that forces everyone inside and is killing loved ones, you have a senseless killing of a human being due to his race, and you have an economic meltdown. My bet is that you won’t see something like this for another thousand years. It’s definitely something you will see in the history books. It’s make or break time for our leaders. This is not a criticism of anyone. It can be an opportunity to show real leadership or it can be career ending if you falter.

I understand the frustration, believe me I do, but by giving away the upper hand by looting and destroying your neighborhood isn’t the solution. When those initial emotional frustrations wane off, you’re left with a destroyed neighborhood that might have businesses that might reopen or decide not to, creating a big economical problem for your town and your family, creating a cycle of poverty and even worse conditions for yourself. Some of those businesses might even be minority owned or mom and pop shops that might never reopen. This would bring less revenue in the form of taxes for your school and betterment. I say you skip the looting and destruction and if you feel that the law or society is not giving you what you pay for in your taxes, then, as a group, stop paying them, taxes. Lets see how fast they fix the system then. Pretty damn quickly. You have to protest smart not loudly and violently. The looting just hurt you even more, but if you protest smart, pay or in this case don’t pay for services not rendered, then you will get more of a resolution and change. In my opinion.

With the coronavirus on full attack, their is a long list of things that we are in need of. The problem is most of those things are made in different countries. With the long list of made not in the USA of products, which in a global community seems fine, but when a virus upends our lives, and the simple things become like gold, like toilet paper, and the borders are closed, we have to go to the old way of doing stuff, and some of those leaves are hard to reach. I guess what I’m saying is, we should find a way to eliminate the greed of these big companies and bring some back home so China, who makes everything we use, including the virus (probably not), doesn’t have us by the wet wipes or the clorox wipes. I mean it’s great that Clorox is HQ’ed in California, but all their products are made somewhere else, actually their made next door to the HQ, maybe not the best example, but you know what I mean.
