So what’s next? If kids through a party and schools have to go into virtual mode because of the COVID will the parents be charged? Also in Georgia couldn’t they be charged for having a gathering over 50 and breaking the Governor’s Order?

That article on the farm payments is good.
Basically Trump has been buying the rural area’s vote with federal funds. They have doubled since 2016. And living out here in the boondocks of Georgia, I can tell you the corporate farms are benefiting the most.

While I enjoy a piece of licorice once in while, this poor fellow was truly hooked:
“A construction worker in the US state of Massachusetts was killed by his licorice habit, doctors say.
The man, who has not been named but was 54 years old, ate about one-and-a-half bags of black licorice every day.
He had suffered no symptoms before suddenly going into cardiac arrest in a fast food restaurant.
Describing the man’s case in the New England Journal of Medicine, his doctors said the glycyrrhizic acid in licorice was to blame. ”
