Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 06, 2020

The new normal is completely abnormal. Why else would Republicans be arguing for a larger federal government and smaller state governments, while those who are threatening treasonous armed conflicts over not being able to go to the cheesecake factory get presidential approval?

You can change the circumstances, but you cannot change the nature of the humans who are still all around you.

Is that a Wiley bear in disguise?

The new normal should include health care for all as a human right. What we have now is wealth care for a few.

Lenders are high on the list of predators, but they usually own the high-rise office building they hustle from.

I think we all were, my friend.

So, what have I got to lose?

Should I make someone pay for my loss?

Would it help if I cried?

Yeah, well I’m concerned about the apex predators …

Predators prefer to prey on the weak. With so many people hurting now, it’s easy hunting for them. They can count on fear as an ally: stampede the heard over the cliff.

When faced with a seemingly insurmountable problem: Where there’s a will, there’s a way. And when it comes to siphoning money meant to help the needy: Where there’s a way, somebody will

Normal? Forget that word. We are now in totaly uncharted territory. No charts or maps of any kind. Forget the world of before. It no longer exist. There is no way back. Welcome to Planet Covid.

1984 is at the door, Thanks Mr.Orwell

In hard times, easy money is trouble waiting to happen.

Wiley! We need to know how the bears are handling the social distancing!!

Fundamentals don’t change, only the definitions. And, yes to the bears !

Land Shark!!

The new normal will be that everybody stealing your money will have to wear masks.

And that the things that bottom feed are considered Apex in the first place!

Most candidates like to ask you if you’re better off than you were four years ago. Today, the question is “what have you got to lose?” I would call that ironic if it weren’t so tragic.

“Apex predators?” More like bottom feeders. The current crop of apex predators are in the White House.

As long as there are those who can make a fast buck under the old normal, they will never give it up voluntarily.

funny… today’s desk calendar page has one of those “shady” characters too

That is NOT an apex predator. Those are all in corporate offices. Wiley Miller, you know this!

That’s not an apex predator. That’s a parasite.

Randy Savage?

Meanwhile Trump eliminates the only regulations ever put on payday lenders. . . . .

Humans are Omega Predators. We are so good we kill off or prey then will die out.

When trump was touring that factory in Arizona, did they play “Highway to Hell”? Now that would be hilarious.

Buttercup! Love it!

Those aren’t Apex Predators.

Those are Ambush Predators.

I have bad news for you folks. The USA is NOT a democracy. It is an autocracy. Look it up. There is nothing democratic how the lunatic POTUS is quickly sinking the ship.
