Potatoes and New York's Governor Cuomo - May 7, 2020
It is said that "necessity is the mother of invention." I was listening to Gov. Cuomo this morning do his daily briefing. Part of his daily briefing had to do with the excess of potatoes in upstate New York where the piles of beautiful potatoes are 20 feet high and a football field long and the food lines/shortages in downstate New York are miles long. It is In situations like this that true genius really shows itself. Cuomo had partnered with philanthropic organizations to set up programs to buy these potatoes plus many other farm products from the farmers and make them available to people in need. It is a win-win situation for everyone concerned. If you get a chance listen to Cuomo's briefings at 8:30 a.m. PST. You will be listening to a true genius at work. Listen to the way that he is opening the state of New York. He is doing slowly and methodically. He is trying to keep politics and emotion out of the equation. He is trying to listen to the facts, to listen to the science and to prevent the state from slipping and sliding back to the way it was about a month ago. What he has done so far is the rate of infection has lowered and the rate of deaths has come down. I can hardly wait to listen to his plan for the re-opening of the school system. It should be a doozy. This story really struck me when I saw all those potatoes going to spoil. I love potatoes, whether they are fried, baked, mashed, boiled, roasted, made into French fries or tater tots, or potatoes Au Gratin. I am sure that you love potatoes too!
