several million dollars that could've gone to hazard pay or equipment for frontline workers. sorry, but i don't see how having the president play remotely with his toys helps fix things.

You had to look fast to appreciate this "tribute". Too bad they couldn't have fired some precision-guided PPE at Elmhurst Hospital.

 Lot's of smoke. We looked out the windows as soon as we heard any sounds and just saw trails of smoke. Looked better on the tv and I do know it made some folks happy to have a distraction.

They practice or have a show almost every day anyway. Might as well cheer some people up while they're at it. It's advertising for their recruitment efforts.
