Oct 2020

So many grandparents, parents, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors, co-workers lost due to the sheer incompetence and callousness of our horrible leader and the greedy, power-hungry people who enabled him. So many lives in ruin. Our economy wrecked. Our standing in the world destroyed. We're either trapped in our homes or forced to go out and work in unsafe conditions. And the virus is nowhere near under control. Sometimes it seems unbearable and unbelievable that this is happening.
