20/20 Gonzo 46: The Bubble Method
Surely he will be declared unfit by his own before the fall. It is only humane, his remaining dignity is at stake. He worked hard as a public servant for years, he sacrificed opportunity and fortune, he comforted many, the shoulder squeezes, the exhaled deep whispers, let him enjoy the fruits of his labor in his declining years. The modern American presidency requires a capable warrior, ready for the arrows and punches, ready to punch back, ready to pull the blade of self defense. Instincts, faculties, active brain cells of memory, discernment, self-control, literal balance, temperament, appearance, it is all being closely evaluated by the passively interested observers.
It's come down to a matter of weeks. When to open the economy, when we get back to normal, essentially, school openings are a proxy. The shutdown, lockdown, show up for the protest show will continue on into the winter, imagine the bonfires when it gets cold, putting them out would be considered freezing people to death, imagine the flames after a reelection. All the fire station staff wants to do it extinguish fires and rescue people, animals, and property.
Professional baseball seems the same, boring mixed with artificial fan noise. The baseball nerds still get their statistics, the gamblers still get their outcomes, all the goods without the hassle and expense of going out to the good ole ballgame. The Men's Professional Basketball Bubble could easily pop, but it will be full of entertainment, platform leveraging, platform creating, causes supported, causes denounced, and maybe some defensive light, Globetrotter's style, prime time, free wheelin' play, dunks and 35 footers. The Women's Professional Basketball Bubble (The Wubble!) are bubbled in a separate bubble. The gamblers still get their outcomes, the players get their paychecks, and the public gets to be educated on philosophy, sociology, free market economics, justice, injustice, historical truths, historical untruths, flag respect, flag disrespect, effective viral protocols, ineffective viral protocols, and professional basketball player bubble fashion. It could work for Professional Tennis, but both genders should be under the same bubble, it would be much more interesting, more economical, and likely more sustainable, especially for the long term.
