Lets be real though... there was a pandemic. 1.1 million Americans and over 7 million people died world wide. We can second guess ourselves but we did the best with what we knew at the time. Measures were taken for safety not some diabolical scheme of political punishment. I think less Americans might have died if there was less misinformation being thrown around at the time.

And yep. After the pandemic the rich came out ahead (as they always do) and we got stuck with higher prices for everything.



I'm suggesting this: If there is a financial crisis of any kind that is one of the things our government is here to protect US from. I mean citizens and corporations. Its up to the government to come up with a solution. I do not think that cutting services to all Americans should be the solution when corporations and billionaires are taking in record profits. In fact I see it as the corporations and billionaires taking in record profits are the real cause of any economic problems of the average American.
