It& #39;s mainly just sad I think. Unimaginably sad that the people who were supposed to protect us didn& #39;t try very hard, now they& #39;re saying they were never even doing the basic things they asked us to do. We lost family and jobs and lives and moments - they didn& #39;t. We lost.
He was on full pay still with a job: we weren& #39;t. We were loopy and bored and powerless, getting fined when we tried to feel normal. They weren& #39;t. We missed births and deaths and hugs: he didn& #39;t and clearly the people protecting him didn& #39;t either.
There& #39;s always been a huge divide in this country between the haves and have nots: this is the clearest, easiest example I have ever seen of everyone being in the same position and some suffering, some not. There& #39;s no historic inequality to hide the differences behind here.
We were all in it together. Then we weren& #39;t. Then we were never in it.
How do we go from here? I feel really, really powerless.
