There are reasons a lot of regular people who work hard and should in theory be able to survive a shutdown were in financial ruin after a few weeks or months. But it doesn't matter because we've decided as a nation to just say that anyone who is in financial ruin other than us did so willingly and deserves it.
If republicans actually improved the lives of people they wouldn't need to spend so much time convincing the public that people are poor because they choose to be.
Covid? Meh, just an accelerant to further emphasize the widening gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" and the fact that so many people are suggesting we run right back to the political party that will continue to do all they can to make sure Wal Mart and Amazon employ all of us, shows we're complicit.
If you had a rough time during covid, that blows. I have a bunch of student loan debt, sucks to be me. We both followed the wrong rainbow and now it's time to get up, dust ourselves off, and work for someone who was born into wealth. Now that's some cynicism.
I will fully disclose I’m not equipped to have a discussion of policy progression (or regression) over the last 40 years. I bet that can be it’s own thread.
