The Left's absence of a soul on full display

I'm striving mightily to extend grace wherever possible and avoid placing blame with any person, party, nation-state or other entity for any aspect of our present juncture. This is important for societal health and my own mental and spiritual health. I'm trying to refrain from pointing out how Trump's solipsism and momentarily heightened ridiculousness are rendering him superfluous to what is going on.   I'm trying not to comment on China's sinister role in this global menace.

But there's something that needs to be done immediately, and only Congress can do it. Given the unprecedented nature of what's happening - a deliberate economic shutdown in order to arrest the spread of a pandemic - Congress needs to pass a very simple, clean bill that puts cash money in the hands of individuals and businesses that will face ruin otherwise.

So what do the freedom-, advancement- and decency-hating leftists in our federal legislature do with this obligation to the nation and to history?

Via senior GOP aide, Schumer/Pelosi now pushing these demands amid pandemic-fueled economic collapse: 

1) Unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions

2) Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines

3) Expansion of wind and solar tax credits

This is obscene. This is wicked.

I just have to believe that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear on these monsters from their own districts and states that they'll have to knock off the grandstanding and do what is right.

But we must consider ourselves warned in the most explicit terms. This is the kind of bringing America to its knees that the Left intents to impose if it ever achieves the completeness of power it salivates for, regardless of economic conditions.
