"They" is us.

Not to late.

We just need to Democrat harder next election cycle and everything will be fine.

Ah yes. So helpful space cadet. I am sure Mitch and Kevin would have been on board with that and it would have passed easily. This is their game, and you are now playing your part. They will blame Dems for whatever is wrong, and you are helping. Good job.

I'm not convinced enough people would have accepted staying home even then

We were supposed to contact tracing every single case. Anyone else remember that?

I know you really care and want the best for the world. That said this is so completely unrealistic. 2000 a month is nothing.when the bonus unemployment money was active it was that much. I wouldn't stay home for less than 8000 a month. Completely delusional

People who just sit at home riding this out have no idea how close we are to societal collapse. In manufacturing we are having trouble getting the basics like hard cleaner trying to keep all the supplies in stocks, much less the actual products we need to keep goods on shelves

"Nothing will fundamentally change ".

All except for the poor taxpayers. Socialism works great until you run out of other people’s money.
