Of course, the Democrats don't like the plan. New Zealand's Ministry of Health says the island nation has had no COVID infections for 100 days.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day, stupidity on the far left. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is directly responsible for one of the most destructive actions in New York City history. The Congresswoman for the Bronx is an ardent socialist, who runs around spouting sympathy and support for the poor and working class. Because of her far-left posture, she has become a media darling. Wait a minute, can I use that word? If not, she's promoted constantly by the leftist press as a force for good.

But it is just the opposite, at least where the folks are concerned. You may have heard New York Governor Andrew Cuomo last week almost begging, affluent New Yorkers to return to the city. Cuomo is a smart guy who knows that Gotham in the entire state is on the verge of financial collapse because of COVID and the vicious violent crime wave that Cuomo himself enabled by signing the insane Nobel law. The governor did that to pander to the radical left, which has become a hobby of his. Rich New Yorkers and many businesses are fleeing the city, taking their considerable tax dollars. with them. Many will not return, because who wants to live in a now dangerous place that has

marginalized what was once the most effective police force in the nation? The socialist mayor de Blasio has destroyed the infrastructure of the world's premier financial center. It has been horrifying to watch. But back to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. Throughout the pandemic, the Amazon company has prospered as Americans are ordering products from home. Amazon is expanding and hiring. While many Americans are out of a job, Amazon workers are getting paid and have security. You may remember back in 2018, Amazon wanted to build a plant in a working class section of Queens. It was estimated that 40,000 jobs would eventually be associated with that plant, not to mention the huge financial benefits to the surrounding neighborhoods and small,

business. But Ocasio-Cortez, in all her righteous indignation, raised hell, saying New York City was giving Amazon too many tax breaks, which was absurd. Even de Blasio saw the economic benefit of the corporation coming to town. Tired of being attacked by the far left, Amazon killed the deal, knowing thousands of other municipalities would be thrilled to have the plan. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez then rhapsodize, quote. Today was the day a group of dedicated everyday New Yorkers and their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate greed, its worker exploitation and the power of the richest man in the world, unquote. Of course, that would be CEO Jeff Bezos. At Amazon come to New York City, analysts estimate more than $40 billion would be in the city's pocket right now.

Instead, de Blasio and Cuomo both know bankruptcy looms. Ocasio-Cortez is either not smart enough to understand that or doesn't care. She is expected to be re-elected in November.

It's hard to believe, but the average American slept nine hours every night back in 1920. No TV, of course. When it comes to our bedtime habits a century later, the days of restful uninterrupted slumber are

mostly over. Today, the average American is awakened twice each night by machines. Biggest annoyances include smartphones, laptops, even streaming television services. According to Smithsonian Magazine, 60% of us find it difficult to rest. Most folks finally fall asleep around midnight. That number jumps at 2 a.m. for college kids and down at 10 p.m. for senior citizens. Experts say newborn babies should slumber 16 hours a day. That gradually reduces over time, with doctors urging all adults, including the elderly, to rest about seven hours each night. Anything less can damage the immune system, lead to obesity, increase the rate of diabetes, and you don't want that, and even cause dementia in later years.

years. Drowsy driving, blamed for more than 1,500 deaths and 40,000 injuries every year. Now, according to the poll, stress plays a major factor in our lack of sleep. The top worry, personal finance. If you are finding it tough to catch a full seven hours, maybe you want to take a quick nap during the day. Sleeping just 25 minutes increases brain function and overall, health. And you'll be in good company. Famous nappers include Winston Churchill, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Albert Einstein. Old Albert would sleep 10 hours per night and then take micro-naps throughout the day. And here's something else you might not know. The sleep disorder industry generates major dollars. American consumers spent 52 billion last year. Top sellers include

mattresses, noise-canceling headphones, and over-the-counter sleeping pills. But most important, what's keeping us up at night is largely avoidable. Doctors say refrain from using your gadgets at least an hour before bedtime. But again, eight and ten Americans between the ages of 16 and 60 sleep within arm's reach of their smartphone.
