A "return to normal" must not be considered acceptable

[ck4829]

I, for one, will not accept "normal" meaning I go back to scrimping and looking at my savings account that has a balance of $0.03 while being told we are in a "strong economy"... if not the strongest ever according to Trump's sycophants.

You should not accept "normal" meaning going from a no-paycheck lifestyle back to a mere paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle.

All together now...

NOT ACCEPTABLE.

1. I agree...and believe me, after a couple waves of this ripping thought the population

...there will never be a "normal" again.

Besides, we've shown that, what...at least 1/3 or more of workers can do things from home. No more commutes and traffic jams? less pollution?

Those people working the crummiest jobs that we now consider "essential"...? Theyud better ALL get no less than $20 hour. Minimum wage increase for sure!

having everything manufactured in another country and shipping it here? NOPE made in the US is going to be a thing again...also shipping will decrease and again, carbon footprint.

What else is going to change do you think?


I know one thing....i will never taje going to a restaurant, getting my dog grommed, the dentist or going to a movie for granted again! ...or visiting my parents, god I miss them. I can still at least talk on the ohone, but I miss mom's hugs.
Damn, Im single and alone with my teen...I miss all kinds of human contact for that matter

2. It is no longer a strong economy

and most of us are going to have to make due with less, not more. Stuff has to be made before it is divvied up.
