from where I'm sitting, its about trading one group for another. the plague-rats want their way and the other camp want their way. initially, the plague-rats were kept in their place, but now, well, someone let the do^H^Hrats out.
if the plague-rats get their way (it looks like its going that way) then the open-up will set us backwards and the next SIP session will be even harder. I stay inside more, now, that they are 'opening up' since I basically don't trust my fellow man to consider the whole. everywhere I'm looking, its not working. people are not seeing the big picture and they are all emotion-based. that's those that have no control.
the ones in control - the ones who can sign off on unemployment and emergency paycheck/rent relief - they are failing us and basically saying "well, we weighed out the pros and cons of giving up some of our billions and, well, we decided we'd rather pass on that. have fun out there, y'all".
all this is telling me that its going to be a long 'winter', even though summer is just about here. damn.
