Time has shown that mankind – and womankind for that matter – has certain needs; food, shelter and every once in a while, the chance to say “I told you so.” People seem to find it deeply satisfying to be able to point out that you were wrong, they were right and you should have listened to them.
This is not one of those times.
I believe I’ve made it abundantly clear that I think Donald Trump is a bad president that has made a lot of bad decisions and reopening the economy because he wants to get reelected is on the list.
But in this case, I hope Donald Trump is right and I’m wrong.
If I’m treading ice water, I don’t know how much satisfaction I’d derive from getting the chance to tell the captain of the Titanic, “See? I told you we were going too fast.”
As I point out in the cartoon above, Donald Trump is gambling everything on reopening and while I don’t want to see him reelected, I also don’t want to see a bunch of people get sick so I can say, “I told you so.”
So whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, let’s all hope we miss the damn iceberg.
Stay safe, everybody.
We are the iceberg.
