The Chinese could have handled it differently, and saved the world a lot of grief. The greater good argument is often troubling though.

Of course. If they had the virus
when they died, they get
counted as death by covid.
Like somebody in DC said,
when will the pandemic
end? On election day, no
matter who wins.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association, alleging that insiders violated the state’s nonprofit laws by illegally diverting tens of millions of dollars from the group through excessive expenses and contracts that benefited relatives or close associates.

The extraordinary move against the nation’s largest gun-rights group comes after an 18-month investigation by Ms. James. As a nonprofit registered in New York since its founding in 1871, the NRA is regulated by the attorney general’s office.

So, with all the money NYS says they need to fill their budget gap they have time for a lawsuit based on political motives?

Time for the NRA to move to a friendlier state. Phoenix is a nice place.

Probably just as easy to steal its member's money there as well.

Members are giving money that they did not want to give?

They are supporting some pretty lavish spending for a non-profit. Fine with me if NRA members are that stupid. Keep sending your dollars.
