Telephone conversations released Tuesday show Mayor Richard J. Daley and President Lyndon Johnson working urgently to stem rioting in Chicago after the Rev. Martin Luther King's assassination in 1968 — and Johnson later chastising Daley for not seeking his help earlier.
Perhaps history is destined to repeat – they used force in Chicago in 1968 when people were rioting and looting – only 9 or 11 died because the right people had the courage to use force and bring it to an end.... 2020 is out of control; it is possible someone will need to make that decision once again… some will die, others will learn. Violence must stop.
.
Lyndon Johnson and Mayor Daley had the courage – I was there.
.
If you disagree, then I suppose you are smarter than the President and Mayor in the history of 1968. But if you do disagree, have a better suggestion. Giving in is not an acceptable one. Locking them up will not work. So what then?
.
For the record – not racist at all - lots of white folks join in the rioting and looting. Bullets will affect them the same way.

Slavery - Slavery - Historical survey: The origins of slavery are lost to human memory. It is sometimes hypothesized that at some moment it was decided that persons detained for a crime or as a result of warfare would be more useful if put to work in some way rather than if killed outright and discarded or eaten. But both if and when that first occurred is unknown. Slavery is known to have existed as early as the Shang dynasty (18th–12th century bce) in China. It has been studied thoroughly in ancient Han China (206 bce–25 ce), where perhaps 5 percent of the population was enslaved.
WAKE UP AMERICA - whitey USA is not unique and we should not be discussing reparations nor sympathy for those descendants alive today.... NO ONE alive today had anything to do with it and it is past time to stand up to those whining about their situation - more opportunity exists in the USA than anywhere else in the world - all one needs to do is WORK FOR IT....

Large cities saw the most closures: 7,500 businesses were reported permanently closed in Los Angeles since March 1, and 7,100 businesses have permanently closed in New York City, according to Yelp. Indoor dining in New York City is returning Sept. 30 at 25 percent occupancy, but plenty of restaurants are not confident that this will be enough to keep them afloat. Meanwhile, Los Angeles County has not announced any plans to allow for indoor dining to return.

For those of us who support the Made in America/Buy American movement and want to rebuild American manufacturing by returning manufacturing to America through reshoring from China, it’s important to consider the policies of President Trump and former V.P. Biden in their bid to be president. Two policies, tax rates and the cost and availability of energy, have a major effect on where a company chooses to locate their manufacturing or headquarters, if they have multiple plants globally. If the corporation has a plant in a country with a lower tax rate, they may choose to shift their profits to
The news media stopped reporting the news long ago. Now it is sensationalism and a biased opinion. Hopefully this group is reporting the facts – you can decide….

It turns out that simply keeping a window open can be one of the cheapest, most effective ways to curb COVID. That's why Germany has a law about it.
Not too often I post something COVID here, but IMO – this one may be worth looking at. Also, from a real estate point of view – again, perhaps something to think about for the other reasons the Germans do it

What do y’all think – open the windows????

The overall survival rate for those exposed to the coronavirus is likely somewhere north of 99.6 percent. COVID-19 mortality has largely run its course in a great many places (as viruses tend to do). And no vaccine has ever been successfully developed for any virus in the corona family.
Should this lead us to conclude that normalcy should not return “until we have a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world,” as Bill Gates insists?
imagine a world with a virus that has more than a 99% survival rate - and yet the rats are ready to kill one another or jump off a cliff.....
