64% of surveyed epidemiologists are spending Thanksgiving at home, and not celebrating with people outside their household -- no travel, no guests, no socializing. 69% are doing the same for the winter holidays.

This chart is heartbreaking. America is only 4% of the world's population but we are 21.57% of Covid-19 deaths. We have the most in the world with 183,598 lost souls. We must do better.

What's to stop Elon Musk, with a $765B $TSLA market cap (and still having production woes + quality issues) from buying Ford $F at $45B in an all stock transaction? Even at a premium ($75B?) TSLA gets global high quality manufacturer, supply chain and distributor network.

Remember when conservatives howled at the auto bailouts? "At $28 billion so far, the farm rescue is more than 2X as expensive as the 2009 bailout of Detroit’s Big 3 automakers, which cost taxpayers $12 billion." Response from Conservatives? Crickets...
