I’m drunk enough to vent this: I FUCKING SEE AND LOATHE ALL OF YOU CASUALLY SAYING CALI DID THE PANDEMIC BETTER THAN NY. Yeah, no shit. Californians have cars and more in unit appliances and outdoor space and don’t live on top of each other and didn’t have 2 STRAINS.

ALSO! ALSO! Like, New Yorkers don't en masse say, "Wow, why is NYC better than LA at dealing with wild fires." WE GET THAT THE GEOGRAPHY CREATES A HARD SITUATION.

As someone who lives in what was a hot bed in the beginning, full of closely knit cultures who were at risk, I have seen firsthand behavior change and NYC is fighting this with a love and passion and fury that makes me proud to be here.

Ugh, I just needed to vent. You think you are being cute, but people are fucking dying, and working, and adjusting, and suffering, and it's actually hateful. /end thread.

Also...I see you comparing governors...JESUS CHRIST...this is not time for that. To quote the fucking Disney Channel Wildcats, "We're all in this together." Calm down and have a purely pop culture take instead. Like...rank those extroverts in the sanctioned Disney special.

I'm just so proud of my neighbors and so entrenched in this, and when you joke about how NYC's response sucked, I formally beg to disagree. It's bad here and yet we pulled off a fucking miracle not making it worse.
