Failed...

Whether there was a specific timeline for the next phase of reopening, the governor of the Empire State had a surprisingly candid response.

“Now, people can speculate. People can guess. “I’m out of that business because we all failed at that business. Right? All the early national experts. Here’s my projection model.  They were all wrong. They were all wrong.”

Cuomo continued: “There are a lot of variables. I understand that. We didn’t know what the social distancing would actually amount to. I get it, but we were all wrong. So, I’m sort of out of the guessing business, right?”

The state has reported over 362,000 Covid-19 cases and over 29,000 deaths from the highly contagious virus.

Now is the time to blame all this failure on everybody else. Is not only me, look at the experts.

The governor earlier rejected the experts in remodeling La Guardia air port since he new it all.

Just a thought

Tsunami...

Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Sunday warned that key employees -- including health care workers, firefighters, police officers and teachers -- could be laid off if the state does not receive additional funding from the federal government.

The Democrat  have called for additional federal assistance while the White House is reluctant to provide additional funds to states. On Friday, Murphy announced the state is estimated to have a revenue loss of $10 billion.

Governor Cuomo’s budget office is due to release an updated financial report, and the numbers are grim. Cuomo says the pandemic and the resulting “economic tsunami” caused by stay at home orders has meant a 14% drop in state revenues to $13.3 billion dollars, which is projected to total $61 billion dollars over the next four years.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Sunday said " there should be a data analysis on state budget shortfalls and that some state's requests are "radically more money than the expected shortfall for the year."

Yearning...

With a budget of 182 Billion Dollars annually, and three months warning, the State of New York got caught completely unprepared. Needed equipment, beds, ventilators, face masks, and other needed protective items were not available. The front line healthcare workers faced these disastrously condition by themselves.

New York has the largest number of death of Covid 19 virus compared to other States of the Union by 10 to 15 folds. Nursing homes  also been devastated.

The Covid 19 virus exposed the way the State and the City are run. Tax and Tax some more, to waste spend and waste some more. The State just approved Congestion Pricing, taxing whoever needs to drive to work in Manhattan. 

Guess...

The classification of essential workers and non essential is a bad classification of people. It should be classified as safe or unsafe condition to work.  Just a thought.

Rebutted...

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley criticized CNN for “media indulgence” after they ran a selectively edited clip favorable to former Vice President Joe Biden.    

“CNN's John King just began a question on how 'some are trying to make a big deal over' Biden's 'you're not black' comment.” 

Turley, a George Washington University law professor said on Twitter. “CNN then played the clip ending with ‘I extended the Voting Rights Act 25 years. I have a record that is second to none.’”

CNN just replayed the same edited clip in another interview, preceded by a derisive comment about those 'trying to make hay about this.' 

In a story where Biden is proclaiming his support among black voters, CNN omitted the line where he falsely claims multiple NAACP endorsements.”

“However, the quote was edited to exclude the next line: 'The NAACP has endorsed me every time I’ve run. Come on, take a look at my record.' 
That is a false statement that the NAACP has publicly rebutted.
