My pessimistic mind thinks the pandemic and our lack of a response has only hastened the slow march we've been on for decades. 

Once every small business starves it will be undeniable that we all owe our jobs to the ultra rich that we serve. The income disparity and service-oriented nature of our society just seems to have been accelerated.  Political policy and pandemic pitfalls waltz together. Suggesting our plutocratic president is delighted to see things go down this road might not be as hot a take as we thought.


Now if you'll excuse me I need to get upset about people who aren't me getting unemployment.
