Sunday morning on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ host Chuck Todd proclaimed that the “good thing” about this economic crisis (you know, the one that has resulted in millions of Americans filing for unemployment) is the clean air and better views.

“And as we go to break, if there is a good thing about this economic crisis, it is in the clean air and views we have not seen for a long time. Take a look.”
