89. sometimes it feels like we jump from issue to issue to issue

Feb 2022

I guess that is just the way the world works. Right now it is Ukraine. Last week it was nazi truckers. The prior week was vaccine mandates. For a long time it was Jan 6th insurrection and COVID and mask efficacy. I vaguely remember being incredibly worried about a ventilator shortage for a few days. Before that was BLM and finally, yes, kids in cages.

It feels like Thailand or climate will be coming up next. We'll get back to the border when we get back to the border.
