(9,064 posts)Doesn't it know how much we long to get back to "normal"--you know, our usual posture of ignoring the needs of anyone other than ourselves?
After all, this is 'Merica! To defeat fascism our forebears put up with gas and food rationing, blackout curtains, curfews, a universal draft. All so we wouldn't have to bear the unbearable: wearing a piece of cloth on our faces, keeping a reasonable distance. And then, two years into the war, everyone decided they were tired with all that nonsense, declared victory, and moved on! Isn't that how it worked? So why can't we do that now?
Think of the children who can't see each other's faces during active shooter drills! Think of the mega-corporations and their millionaire and billionaire owners! How can they be expected to thrive without packed malls and subservient workers?
O the humanity!
