of the entire nation dealing with a pandemic, its actually quite amazing our world had survived as well as it has. Our economy has been resilient. Businesses have gone under, whole industries suffering, people out sick, people dying, relief dollars spent, an attempted coup on our government. And we're still ticking.

Sometimes it seems like people think after all we've been through that everything should be the exact same way it was before all this happened.
