    Still doesn't mean it's a good idea to go even if the owner decides to open up for us. There's a decent chance I won't just because I will have to go through to large airports just to get there.
    It's 12 rooms, and the airports for you are a very valid point.

    Yay, America.
    This is something that gets in my craw. We don't need to increase taxes, we need to stop the sheltering.

      There are no economic benefits to either Bush or dumpy tax cuts. So we should do both.

      Most strong European counties have much higher taxes than we do, and they flourish just fine. And can take care of their own when there is a major problem. So we know it will work just fine. If not for greed.

        What I am saying, is get rid of all tax shelters and a LOT of tax breaks. That is a TON of money.

          Restore the tax brackets to 1980. Or 1960. And claw back every dollar in the Caymans.

            And the people have a better quality of life and are much happier, overall. Crazy concepts

                      Why not both?

                      All you people worried about the economic fallout, how small businesses are suffering and sacrificing, but God forbid millionaires are ever asked to sacrifice anything.

                            Every person I know who has had it medically speaking has had a ‘mild’ case, but that certainly isn’t how I would describe what they have told me about their experience. It also drags on forever and at this point no one knows if there will be any long term consequences. Articles downplaying the severity are doing a massive diservice.

                                While you may certainly know people who had a rough case that fell in the “Mild” segment that doesn’t change the fact that it is hardly a blip on the radar for many.

                                Right from the CDC, one third of cases don’t have any symptoms at all.

                                Not sure how looking at the entire picture is down playing the severity?
