#1 Looks like Pomade Boy has a sick sense of humor - a thug's humor, like the guy who beats the crap out of an old man and then stands over him saying, "Boo hoo, you've bloodied your shirt now, haven't you..."

Here's the thuggish Pomaded one, addressing the millions whose livelihoods his idiotic lockdown has destroyed (yes, this is actually a direct quote):

NEWSOM: "As painful as the state’s budget may be, the personal budgets for so many of you watching are even more devestating. You’ve devastated your savings, your credit is completely destroyed, you are desperate to get a sense of not only your fate, but our collective future."

Clue for you: YOU devastated OUR savings. YOU destroyed our children's future. YOU destroyed our life's work over nothing, with no basis in medical science, with an absurd lockdown that you imposed MONTHS AFTER the virus had been circulating among and had infected over a million in this state.

#5 Goodness gracious gromguru: so now you're linking to that medical authority, Vox.com?

I love their logic: California acted early! But not really--the lockdown in California didn't happen until March 19.

New York has density! But not really: "There are other factors at play in the differences between the two states. One is the density of their largest cities: New York City is the densest city in the US (though San Francisco is second)..."

Oops.

#9 State sales tax revenue is directly proportional to sales. State income tax revenue is directly proportional to income.

If you take measures to reduce sales and income drastically, then state tax revenue will also decline. I know that both mathematics and economics are hard; but that is simply the case.

#10 State sales tax revenue is directly proportional to sales.

It's worse than that. People are only spending money on non-restaurant food which is not taxed.

#11 No wonder liquor & tobacco stores and lottery outlets were deemed 'essential' virtually across the land.

#13 Instead of cutting service salaries, he could just cut aid to illegals. Let ICE work and Americans learn how to cut grass again.
