As usual, she's right on the mark.  I never realized that it was precisely
because we live in the equivalent of a dictatorship in this United States,
that that itself would be the cause of this pandemic being much worse than
it ever had to be.

I liked Garrett's class critiques.  While waiting for Noelle to get her
coffee yesterday morning, this Uber driver dropped off two guys in the
adjacent parking spot.  After the guys went off to their thing, the Uber
driver spent at least 5 minutes wiping down everything in the car.  It's
hard to imagine that this doesn't cut into their pay somehow.  Maybe
people will get angry enough to toss out this system.
