Good for them.

I stopped listening to or being concerned about these issues weeks ago. Boring.

 

The inept/avaricious gov screwed up, there is no recovery for several months, people will sicken, die, and starve. The authorities will continue to make bad decisions at every opportunity. 

It is what it is.

I assume the 56.01% must be extremely confused then? 

Not a great deal of faith shown in the whole arrangement then....
