This headline makes me think, how many Tennessee and Nashville businesses will recover? We MUST never let this sort of “shutdown” happen again!
We ARE engaged in a war, as many politicians have pointed out. But that war is with and against control-centric authoritarians, both foreign (the Chinese Communist Party) and domestic (big government bureaucrats). This virus, even if it is deadly and CCP born and raised, can not defeat “US”. Defeat can only happen if we allow our freedoms to be taken.
Yeah, we get it. Dollars over lives. The hallmark of the businesswhiners.
WHY were we shut down?
Has any Tennesseans recovered from RsV, Flu, gall bladder Surgery, a mean case of C Diff?
