Too Many Cops
The national average is just under 28 per 10,000.
[source]
We must also remember that the current average of 28 per 10,000 population is the average in our current over-policed nation. It's plausible and probably preferable that the average be closer to 20, 15 or even 10 per 10,000 population. This further drives home the point that we have too many police.

Stick To Manufacturing & Commerce
WMC Unveils It's Plan To Reopen Wisconsin Business
Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) - the name says it all. WMC are not infectious disease experts. Why should anyone care what their pandemic-opinion is?
They're more worried about their bottom-line (which is understandable) than the people who help make that possible for them. The WMC is fighting to make it harder for police and fire fighters to get workers compensation. I've had my issues with the pay-structure of police and fire departments. But using a pandemic to suppress others while lobbying for your own pocket-book, that's pretty low.
WMC, stick to manufacturing and commerce. We'll let the scientists, doctors, nurses and experts handle the pandemic. We'll let them decide when things can get back to "normal".

Keep Crying Republicans, But The United States Is Already Socialist
What if Republicans actually wanted to discuss topics based on merit, priorities and facts? What if Republicans wanted to govern and actually help Americans?
Scott Walker faux worries, What if Santa were a socialist? Yes, he thought he'd use the holiday season to knock community, working together and caring for others. You know, the bedrocks of socialism.
Here's a news flash for Walker, Republicans and other dipshits that keep parroting the Socialism Is Bad trope, America is socialist.
Public schools, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, fire fighters, police, public transportation, roads, bridges, the military and on and on are all socialist.
We do things better and we all live better when we work together and help each other out. For Republicans to keep pretending these programs and institutions are threats to freedom is garbage. These are the foundations of our society and our high quality of life. For Republicans to keep pitting every American against one another, for Republicans to keep tearing down the institutions that have made everyone's lives better, is a disservice to the entire nation.
The United States is socialist. And, we need more socialism, not less. What we could use less of - disingenuous and self-interested Republican stooges.
Merry Christmas, even to the idiots that lap up Walker's horseshit.
