If it works, he might have a chance at staying competitive.

If it fails, which it likely will, it's Game Over.

However, only sensible and intelligent people who have some empathy and no hidden agendas to support would say that.

I think it is time for the GOP to dump the elephant, (a noble creature) and replace it with the only creature that seems to fit based on their motives: the shark. The GOP shark sounds right and we would have to keep our donkey out of the water so that damn shark does not chomp down on it and eat it, which, given the chance, it would certainly do. In fact, it is eyeing it right now from the murky depths of Republican depravity in the ocean of infamy.

Governor isn't smart enough to have thought of this open plan all by himself. DT spoke of his 4 pt. plan one day and by damn, 2 days later our Governor announced he was authorizing several businesses to reopen. STUPID! New cases haven't gone down here, and the testing is very sporadic. Only a few Georgians have been tested so we don't know how many people are infected nor where they are.

For sure DT wants his GREAT ECONOMY back so he can get reelected. He's got his patsy governors helping him.

I'm not going out! I hope this early opening backfires on Gov. Kemp & DT by opening all these businesses but there won't be any CUSTOMERS!
