Tell me about it.

I live near so many of those folks it's sickening. At some point, the Kool-Aid has to run out, and then maybe There's a shot. But it will have to come from them. Outside persuasion isn't going to work.

]I do think the COVID pandemic will force us away from neoliberalism - I mean, it already has with the "stimulus" which would be more accurately named if it were called "relief". But I'm not sure how progressive or green we will emerge from the other side; there are other scenarios and we seem to lack collective will. Eric, I know you are very hopeful for the New Age vision coming to be but I detect a more Gilded Age future coming since Americans seem to prefer corporate solutions and favoring the rich.

This may happen, at least for a while, but those solutions don't actually solve anything. AGW doesn't care. COVID doesn't care either. And reverse Robin Hood has a defined end point that can't be breached. If there is no viable resolution now, then the 2T will be explosive.
