Georgia leads the race to become America's No. 1 Death Destination

[Zorro]

Whether you’re going to heaven or hell, the old joke goes, you’ll have to change planes in Atlanta.

But Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is proposing to offer a new nonstop service to the Great Beyond: He has a bold plan to turn his state into the place to die.

Kemp, a Republican and an ally of President Trump, just called for the reopening within days of his state’s gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body-art studios, barbers, nail salons, cosmetologists, aestheticians, beauty schools, massage therapists, theaters, private social clubs and dine-in restaurants.

He’s doing this even though the state ranks near last in testing, even though it’s not clear that covid-19 cases are declining there, and even knowing “we’re probably going to have to see our cases continue to go up,” as Kemp himself said.

1. He's doing it to shift more of the very large economic burden down

to the people and small business owners. He's literally choosing to have more of those people die to serve the wealthy, wherever they're hiding themselves.

The Democratic mayor of Atlanta, and the mayor of Albany I believe, have asked people to ignore the state government and continue to self isolate. The mayor of Savannah's also condemned it.

2. I have a dozen members of my transplanted Family living in the Atlanta area...

not surprisingly, ALL Democrats.
Not surprisingly, all following Stay at Home guidelines.
Not surprisingly, furious with the dumb-assed Kemp.
Four are high risk.

This man is beneath contempt.

3. As a Georgian and NOT a fan of that GD Kemp, I apologize to the world.
