"...Trump’s daily briefings prove he’s uniquely incompetent to handle coronavirus | He wasted about six weeks assuring himself and his gullible followers that the worst public health crisis in 100 years was a fake news Democratic media hoax...."
"WHO  DIRECTOR praises Trump's leadership on pandemic".

Plenty of room could be made in the budget for health care and other useful programs if the taxes on billionaires and corporations was hiked substantially, foreign aid was eliminated completely and if military expenditures were reduced by at least 75%.
What if the billionaires just....move? Cutting military budget will put tens of thousands out of work and invite military adventurism against us by CHINA and Russia. Taxes on EVERYONE will have to be SUBSTANTIALLY raised to create medical care for 350 million Americans and of course all the people who would come across the border .

"...A handful of Senate Republicans think the coronavirus stimulus is too generous to workers..."

Coronavirus bill will create ‘devastating’ incentive to lay off employees, critics say

If free healthcare becomes available in America it would be  immoral to exclude them. As of now I don't know what healthcare illegals get aside from ER.

Coronavirus bill approved in Senate by 96-0 vote. I believe they call that" bipartisan".

I can't imagine how I could support an eleven year old child with cancer NOT  getting treatment merely because that child would be "illegal". I have enough explaining to do when I see God without explaining that one.

Hospitals consider universal do-not-resuscitate orders for coronavirus patients.......

Sound familiar?
As someone who's had pneumonia twice and almost died of the flu....twice...let me just say....drowning in your own lungs is a horrifying death...you struggle with your whole body and soul  just to get that next sweet breath...I **** a rib coughing so hard...if it gets bad enough you'll beg for an overdose of morphine...

Death is not an object......Death is an event. Not a "thing".....( Is anything free?)
Death is a free" event". You and I likely aren't far from that"event". I found a fifty dollar bill once while I was at the beach in Galveston. Just floated up. So I dried it off. Finding the bill was an "event". But it was a tangible "thing".  An event and a thing. Like dying. When you die you leave a tangible thing behind.A physical,tangible but lifeless body. Which,in the course of entropy,creates more life as bacteria and other things process your former body for energy. An event,and a thing.

Order always devolves into disorder. It's the way of "things" .  People are made of the same elements that make up stars. 😃

My question was: Is anything free?  "things" are always objects.... Objects are never events...

A rock would have been a correct answer; not death.....hehe
That fifty dollar bill was a free object.And an event.The event being that I found a free fifty dollar bill,which is of course also an "object". 😀

A rock isn't free! You bend over,and pick it up. This requires caloric energy from your body. No matter haw small the amount.

Always?     What about the universe?
The universe is in a constant state of entropy.Order devolving into disorder. For instance- the blade on my lawnmower just hit a piece of weed covered rebar.Now I have to buy a new blade for my crummy,no good soul-destroying piece of merde lawnmower. I've already removed the old blade.DAMN!!!!
