Feels a bit like Come From Away. Appreciate all the locals.
Single issue voter: Preservation of democracy.
When did this become a Wendy's? Mostly lurking but I see you and you inspire me.

If you are a senior or disabled person living on social security, be prepared for a problem in July.
The House WILL hold your check hostage and refuse to raise the debt ceiling to shut down the federal government.
Social Security isn't funded by Congress, but...apparently distribution IS funded/controlled by the federal government. Your money is there since you paid in for decades, but you can't access it.
Hold Congress accountable for holding YOU hostage!

There is no middle ground between authoritarianism and democracy, but too many journalists seek one.

Also, we cannot just live with COVID. Many people are vulnerable, so "living with COVID" means permanently being at high risk. One of these people is my father. He has late-stage bone marrow cancer. After six months of treatment, he is now stabilized for a number of years, but if he gets COVID now, it might be game over.
He cannot just "live with COVID". So, what these editors-in-chiefs are saying is "survival of the fittest". That's the mentality you are proposing.
Also don't tell us how sorry you feel for our situation, especially if you're contributing to the problem. Don't tell us you care while you run around maskless and go to superspreader events. You don't give a fuck. We see it.
If you really care, act. Everything else is hypocrisy.
