This will get you rip snorting.

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned a small group of well-connected constituents three weeks ago to prepare for dire economic and societal effects of the coronavirus, according to a secret recording obtained by NPR.

The remarks from U.S. Sen. Richard Burr were more stark than any he had delivered in more public forums.

And who was given this information while the president was still saying it’ll disappear soon?

The luncheon had been organized by the Tar Heel Circle, a nonpartisan group whose membership consists of businesses and organizations in North Carolina, the state Burr represents. Membership to join the Tar Heel Circle costs between $500 and $10,000 and promises that members “enjoy interaction with top leaders and staff from Congress, the administration, and the private sector,” according to the group’s website.

Okay, this is just me talking and I’m nobody but if I was somebody I’d start yelling that only the rich get life jackets on the Titanic?

I say that life saving information should not be insider information. There ought to be a law against this crap.  So, if you lie in North Carolina, Senator Burr needs to hear from you.

Thanks to Craig for the heads up.

EDITED!  Lock him the hell up.  His first concern was keeping this from the public so he could profit off of it.  Immediate resignation is called for and any Republican who opposes it is a death profiteer.

I hate these people.
