That is exactly what I thought as soon as I saw this.

Also, this timeline has the shittiest writing. Shoulda left the whole thing in the drafts.

The hell you say!

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Six days left and a whole lotta doors to knock.
