"Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago" is gonna get thrown around a lot this cycle and somehow it's gonna be about the price of gas and eggs, and not how we ran out of space in the morgues and had to stack bodies like firewood in vans in central park
Trump didn't just screw up the economy. He let many thousands die bc he couldn't be bothered abt their safety. Never was there any doubt that COVID could be extremely dangerous. On Jan. 1 2020, reading a news report abt the new disease in China, I realized we could face a world pandemic in months.
In early April 2020 I got a hot tip that a corner store about a mile from me had toilet paper - kept behind the counter, you had to know to ask for it. Went there and paid $3/roll and felt like I won the lottery bsky.app/profile/blak...
I got sick in Feb 2020, not covid, but I knew Covid was in the news so I got paranoid about TP and paper towels. So I ordered a bunch on Amazon - but I messed up and accidentally ordered 2x as much as I meant cuz i was sick/a bit out of it. It was a great mistake! We were covered for like 2 months
