Elder will open up the California economy all the way to the hilt.
Newsom won't. He was only shown to buckle based on the recall threat.
Newsom believes he can one day win POTUS. In order to do that, he needs his death count low from COVID19. That's hard to do with 40 million plus people in the entire state. Newsom will drag the entire world economy into the ground ( CA is the 5th largest and everything that happens here impacts every living person on the planet) on the 1 percent chance that his own delusions have fabricated to a stone cold lock.
Take partisan politics out of all this. The next time you go to the grocery store, ask yourself how the food actually gets there. What mechanisms and logistics need to happen to get that food and essentials into a store and at some type of cost/price control and in enough abundance to not terrify people into panic.
California's economy collapses, the American economy collapses, then the world economy collapses, and we all die. Your children, all of your children will die first. Children are not built to handle starvation.
Doesn't matter who or why, the American economy needs to fully open back up again. If it means every business needs to look like a BSL 4 and everyone is donning Haz Mat suits and you can see Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Gooding Jr chasing a monkey around with a dart gun, so be it. People starving to death is bi partisan. Children crying at night because they are hungry is bipartisan. Getting shot down in the street because someone thinks you have a granola bar on you while everyone is starving is bi partisan.
When a large scale economy collapses, what happens? Law and order and essential services disappear. Many of you have daughters and sisters and wives and nieces. What do you think happens to them in a lawless society? Look at the Southern Border and look at 11 and 12 year old girls in Afghanistan now, what do you think will happen and is happening to them?
Many of you believe you are thoughtful, rational, sane and productive members of this society. Try going for a few weeks without food and being truly "food insecure" to the point where you can't explain to your wife and kids when and where their next meal will come. See how thoughtful and sane and rational and productive you become then.
Pick the person who will open up the economy. Some will shout, "What about COVID19!" OK, sorry to say it, but what about it. Some can die, tragically so, or we can all die.
It doesn't have to be Elder, it could even be another Democrat besides Newsom who will say he plans to open up the economy in California. But wait! Nancy Pelosi openly threatened anyone on the left side of the aisle who will run. If Newsom survives, he will lock down CA again at some point. He let people burn alive from PG&E fires for blood money, so I have no doubt he'll let 40 plus million people suffer for a talking point in a political career he doesn't realize is already DOA. Wait, he won't let his own Plumpjack businesses nor Hollywood rot, because as we all know, that's (D)ifferent.
If Newsom said, I'm going to fully open up the CA economy and that's it, no more changes and I'll put it in writing in an gubernatorial executive order, then that's one pathway. But he won't.
Children starving to death is not partisan. It happens all over the world. I think some of you might not really get what's happening here until it's your own children crying at night for milk and bread.
Some Americans can die, or we all perish. Now some of the radical woke lefties will scream out, "That's not fair!" You are right. It's not fair. But since when has Mother Nature been fair? This is ultimately a Mother Nature problem, not just a political one.
Mother Nature is coming for your children. Some of you, not all, but many are opening the door for her and welcoming her in.
