Pandemic brings astonishing changes to America
From: RITA SILVER
Date: April 7, 2020
My neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.I saw a Mormon with only one wife.McDonald’s is selling the 1/4 ouncer.Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.A picture is now only worth 200 words.When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.And, finally…I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Afghanistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck
