Taking advantage of the Coronavirus

Look over here at this bright shiny object.  Isn’t it fascinating?  It’s the coronavirus.

In the meantime, while you are looking at it, President Trump’s E.P.A. has weakened the regulations on the release of mercury and other toxic metals from oil and coal-fired power plants.  If the industry deems the pollutant too costly to control, it is exempt from the regulations.  This is being done in the middle of a pandemic.

In the meantime, Stephen A. Feinberg, whose company owns a major private military contractor, and who has given given a million dollars to a PAC that backed Trump in 2016, is being considered for the second-in-command of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.  If he runs into trouble in the Senate, Trump will appoint him to an “acting” position in the agency, one that won’t require confirmation.  

In the meantime, abortion clinics in Texas have been ordered to close because of the coronavirus.  


By the way:  Trump supporters are making fun of the low number of people who have subscribed to Biden’s YouTube channel, so I’ve subscribed.  It’s well-done and informative.  You know what to do.
