Capitalistic flaws apparent during crisis

Dear Editor, Some of capitalism’s flaws are beginning to emerge under the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supply and demand is one of its primary cornerstones and has resulted in states fighting over PPE, masks, gowns and ventilators that are being sold to the highest bidder. Reports indicate the 3M Company is manufacturing masks and selling to countries offering cash payments. Sources indicate the Trump administration has been aware of this impending pandemic since January when reports were emerging from China. Instead of preparing, the leaders described this as a hoax that nobody ever expected could happen in a country…

MEC’s member services phone number…

Easter morning reflections

Dear Editor, As the covid-19 pandemic continues to keep us in social distancing, I reflected on Easter morning and what it means to me. Satan, as some people, would love to erase what Easter means and keep God out and the picture of Jesus hidden of what he did for us on the cross. It can’t be done. Easter is not about colored eggs and chocolate bunnies. It is not about gathering in churches and wearing your Sunday best. It’s not about sitting around a table and eating a good meal. It’s not even about being with friends and family….
