Once again, the Press Herald is publishing an irresponsible and inflammatory post – this time a cartoon by Dave Granlund.

On a week when unemployment dropped to 8.4 percent, Mr. Granlund depicts 30 Million people having lost their jobs. A quick look at the stats shows that there currently are 13.6 million Americans unemployed at the end of August, compared with 5.6 million (3.3 percent) in February – which was the lowest rate in decades!

Let’s all be a little more positive and work together to recover from this pandemic only the Chinese could have prevented. Remember, the glass is half full, not half empty, and move on!
