Unless you’ve been living in a cave, not paying attention to the news, or watching stations that are glorifying what is taking place in major US cities, we are in trouble – again. Cities continue to be overrun by rioters and looters, police have not been able to stop the epidemic of assaults, robberies and murders, some police departments have been defunded and there are plans to dismantle others. If it becomes unsafe to drive into cities like New York, Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Portland, Seattle, Detroit, and others, the supply chain will be disrupted. Truckers will choose not to drive into those cities, retailers will close – for good, restaurants will lose even more business, and tourism will continue to suffer as it did during the shutdown months of March, April and May.
There may not be much we can do except to vote responsibly in November,
