Boosting Business in a time of Covid

Trump Mega-Donor, a Shipping Magnate, Pushes to End a Shutdown

Whenever I see this, I wonder:  how much is enough?  How much do you need to the point where if your employees (that she claims to care for), her customers (that she claims to serve), if they or their families die, you can say "I have enough money.  I don't need any more.  I can use what I have been blessed and wait so people don't put themselves in harms way to make me richer."

I know the answer:  It is never enough.  All the money in the world wouldn't be enough.  All of the praise, the acclaim, the worship, the service, the utter submission of every human being to their every whim wouldn't be enough.

People like this are like emotional black holes, so no matter how much you feed into the gaping maw of their greed its never enough.  Even in this time of trouble where all we have to do is let people who can stay home just be home, she's out there pushing for *other people* to risk their lives to make her richer.

Is she in her own stores working on the front lines?  Of course not.  That's for "lesser people."  The Glenn Beck's who bravely offer that people should go back out to work even if we lose 1 to 3 percent of the population - while he stays in his basement bunker.  The courageous Wisconsin official who told people to go to the street and vote while they were covered in head to toe personal protection equipment.  The protestors brimming with empathy to allow hairdressers to dye their hair because their grey roots were showing - the freedom to allow people to risk their lives or the lives of their family because heaven forbid people should see the protestor's natural hair color!

For them, it's all about Me.  Serve Me.  Make Me richer.  Get sick for My comfort.

And if you die, I'll call you a hero for nailing yourself to a cross of gold for My insatiable greed.
