Seeing those people on the beach, not paying any attention..Reminds me of Joseph Stalin

Stalin cut a deal with Hitler. Stalin was told that Hitler was amassing troops on the border, and Stalin
assumed that everything was ok, and that Hitler would never go against the deal..Stalin ignored his own spies who said that Soviet Union was in grave danger, and was going to invade...and Stalin believed the liar: Adolph Hitler.

....Here is what it cost the Soviet Union ..................
The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths. The largest portion of military dead were 5.7 million ethnic Russians, followed by 1.3 million ethnic Ukrainians. A quarter of the people in the Soviet Union were wounded or killed.

Those people on the beach, are much too stupid to know that what they are doing is..."stupid"
They know it all because they got a deal with Trump ...who knows it all. ...Like Stalin, these people know not with what & who they are dealing...Going to the beach like that puts them in danger, but they do not have a clue in the world..

Or are you talking about the spring breakers several weeks ago? The spring breakers were stupid, but now, weeks later, after all that has been happening, if there are still people doing that, they're stupid squared. They're stupid on steroids.

I do not know when it was taken. If you read the caption below the picture, it says it was taken yesterday..and is totally current as to what is happening now.

Beaches were off limits for one week, then reopened but the parking lots are closed so as to discourage tourists, who have no business crossing county lines at this moment.

Mostly in couples or what look like small family groups, people are happy to be free to walk on the beaches again.

I preferred the closures but many here feel entitled.

This is serious business, I was happy to see $1,000 fines levied during the Easter week shutdown to people breaking the temporary order to keep away.
