I have often been amazed how we can be covered up with a
certain news story by our National News Media and we know (because we are told)
that this news story is the Absolute Most Important Happening Happening in the
world around us and then some other news story happens and the First Most Important
News Happening completely disappears and we are covered up with the New Absolute
Most Important News Happening. (Yes, I know the prior sentence was too long but
it had to be because it was about Absolute Most Important Stuff.)
It has happened time and again and one of the agains was
when the Good Ole USofA was being threatened back in the 1980s by Muammar
Gaddafi of Libya with Dire Major Consequences (dire major consequences is a
lot more dire and major than dire consequences or major consequences as stand-alone
consequences) if we dared to cross his Line of Death in his Gulf of Sidra. Every
day we were being told that we were required to worry about Qaddafi and his Line
and his Gulf and his Consequences.
Then the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded 73 seconds into its
launch and Qaddafi and his Line and his Gulf and his Consequences completely
disappeared from the news.

Have you heard of the Coronavirus? Have you heard of
anything other than the Coronavirus since the Coronavirus Exploded onto the
World Stage?
The Consequences of the Coronavirus are not just the disease
and the deaths related to the Coronavirus. The Economic Consequences are going
to throttle this county and its citizens for a long time to come.
If you close Mom and Pop’s Really Good Sandwich Shop it
means a lot more than Tom, Dick and Harry can’t get their Really Good Corned
Beef Sandwich. The employees of Mom and Pop’s Really Good Sandwich Shop lose
their jobs. Losing their jobs does not mean they go home and wait for their pay
check to come it the mail. The mail may come but it will bring no pay check.
My Dear Readers, we are talking about an awful lot of Shops
and Lost Jobs and Pay Checks that are Never Going to Arrive.
