Pahrump resident thanks community for support

Thank you to all those citizens of Pahrump who went out last Friday evening and made some noise to show appreciation for our health care workers and other essential personnel.

We’ve decided to make this a regular Friday happening. So, at 7:00 on Fridays, go on outdoors, bang some pots and pans and say “Hi” to the neighbors.

We’ll be doing this until the crisis is over. See, no, hear you, on Friday.

Mayor should not cave to pressure and reopen casinos

The Last Man Standing Wins. Let those who do not want to continue COVID-19 restrictions be the first to die. Mayor Carolyn Goodman clearly does not understand that COVID-19 is a virus new to the human population. Until a vaccine is produced, anyone, any age, can die from the virus.

Mayor Goodman is caving to pressures by stupid people and stupid gaming bosses to reopen Vegas, I’m not a betting man as I am a polymath who understands probability, chance and statistics, but I bet Ms. Goodman is signing her own death certificate or perhaps because of her wealth and influence she is betting she will get better medical care than people she is volunteering to be test rats. What good comes from opening casinos after the patrons die from the virus? I’m pretty sure they will not return to the casinos after they die.

Who elects these politicians of low IQ? It is time to select our leaders based on aptitude and intelligence. These popularity contests won by special interest groups donating the most money are failing to select leaders who put the best interests of their constituents first.

A healthy population is of far greater value than money. All the money in the world cannot resurrect the dead. Kill enough people with stupidity and society as we know it collapses.

It seems the narrative is, “if you can afford solar power you must be rich, so you can pay more too.”

Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

Michele Fiore is upset that the taxpayers are no longer paying her not to work as a Pahrump justice of the peace. She has only herself to blame.

The most dangerous lies are the lies we tell ourselves and all the ways we look to justify them.

I am happy that the election campaigning is over, but most of all the absence of political ads from both parties, blatantly lying about their opponents.

As a resident of Pahrump, I have deep concerns about bringing homeless people here with the intent of reintroducing them into society.
