31. I'm personally better off as far as my business,

but the question is designed to give the impression that it's to MF45's credit. It absolutely is NOT because of him, it is in spite of him and the republicons.

I just happened to get lucky. The businesses I work with stayed open, only about half cancelled our jobs from March-early June, PPP covered the employees who were laid off, things are back to "normal" and a few new customers. Again, that has nothing at all to do with MF45, Moscow Mitch, or any of those pieces of shit.

I'm well aware of how lucky that was. And I'm acutely aware that there is absolutely no security or stability whatsoever. All it would take would be one employee to put us in quarantine, or worse. And the next economic crash could end up with all of our work cancelling.

Personally as far as everything but business, it is also absolute crap. No one feels secure, everyone is ready to go off,

This sure as fuck hasn't "been great".
