I know this is incredibly obvious, but I am still STUNNED by the complete absence of action by the government in behalf of the millions and millions of people who can’t pay rent or buy food or access healthcare. What the hell is a state for? (Don’t answer that.)
I mean it is just staggering that the response to the millions and millions of people who can’t eat or feed or house their children is “an inadequate check, at some point months away in the very distant future.”
They were ORDERED to stay home!! What do you want them to do??
I feel like, I’ve been a “good citizen” all my life, obeying laws and paying taxes and not causing too much trouble and obediently voting. And in exchange: where is the state? It’s completely abdicated its responsibility, even just to answer questions.
