Darn, you have enlightened me again, TC. "immiserated" is a new, awful word for me. Our solution, though, may be to Un-miserate, which I believe is the point of Biden's Build Back Better effort.

I wish I could see it coming to fruition, I really want to see the voting rights bills passed, but I'm starting to doubt it will ever happen, we see the threat growing by the day, others see us as a mortal threat because we want to see the constitution fully implemented. So many americans have been misled into voting against their own interests, I find it astonishing. We, and I mean all of us collectively, can't even pull together and unite against a plague that has no ideology, it's just a goddamn virus that has killed over 800,000 of us. WTF let's kill this thing before it kills more of us, but no, a sizeable number of us seem to want to help it. I'm a combat vet, I was wounded in combat, even while wounded there was nothing I wouldn't have done to protect my comrades, so I don't get this. Getting a shot in the arm is not like getting shot for god's sakes, if you call yourself an american how about acting like one. Maybe I shouldn't complain about SM, after all I get to use it to go on my rants like I'm doing here, but for some reason I don't see myself as part of the problem, I see what most of us are doing is searching for a solution and there's nobility in that effort. Our Predident is doing everything in his power to lead us out of this mess and into a better world and yet there is so much hatred for the other that he's being stymied everywhere he turns.

So right on all points.

IтАЩm surrounded locally by Trump supporters who have refused vaccinations and have Covid variant. Or, who got vaccinated and still got it by refusing to wear a mask or take precautions. Either way, they blame Biden. Honestly, itтАЩs sad and confounding to be dealing with such scientific stupidity. My current focus locally is learning how to deal with a specific type of moron, adult bullies. тЭдя╕ПЁЯдНЁЯТЩ
