The Coronavirus

[Bob Butler 54]

In earlier American crises, the selfish attitude of the unraveling was overcome by a blatant threat to the common good. The crisis mood soon overcame the unraveling mood. This time around? The desire to not solve problems but leave resources available to the individual has so far stuck. The key seems to be that the government cannot have a regeneracy, a commitment to the new values, when the Congress is so close to balance. Every senator has an effective veto. This cannot change for at least a year.
