Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas has said, essentially, that old people should be willing and enthusiastic to patriotically die so that Trump can put the economy back into gear. Apparently he didn't get the memo that most of them will die in a hospital, clogging up our healthcare system and infecting our healthcare workers. But, not to worry, Britt Hume at Fox News says that's "an entirely reasonable" position.

So Trump wants to destroy our hospital system and risk 2 million dead Americans to get the economy working again. This is not only stupid and illogical, but it's also a sign of sociopathy: a complete empathetic disconnection from other humans. What's next? Turn older people into Soylent Green?
