> Children's education, mental health, coping skills, and socialization. My wife is an elementary educator, and it's shocking how far kids regressed during the pandemic. By almost every measure, this generation of kids is in big trouble. I'm optimistic that the trend will right itself over time, but it's really sad to see.
Reddit somehow permits a moment of brutal honesty and acknowledgment about the horrific human cost of draconian lock-downs..

I sorta feel like the Tuskegee Syphillis experiment should be the final word in "The Government wouldn't do that".
1. It's totally monstrous.
2. It wasn't some flash in the pan "well we decided to do a thing but we stopped right away", they did this monstrous thing for 40 years.
3. They had opportunities to end it but decided not to. A "Mere" 28 years in one worker said "Hey, we should stop this it's monstrous" and they refused to after forming a committee.
4. Everyone agrees it happened.
Shooting a powerful guy is bad, but watching hundreds of innocent people suffer, die and pass on to their wives and children a treatable disease for 40 years while lying to them about treating them because you're curious to see what it looks like is on a level where all manner of evil is totally acceptable.
They see us as state property to be disposed of as they wish.

It can't be overstated how they put all their cards on the table, and have created blowback and have lost massive trust in their financial system globally.

Well, Trump is a new York Republican so I wouldn't expect something different on social security.

From "defund the police" to hiring bonuses.
They flipped on that one fast, but the damage is done, and they aren't going to get our best anymore even with hiring bonuses.
Maybe that was the point though.

OK, sure. The underlying question is valid, but why is this up to trump, and not, for example, the sitting president and Congress?

The same GOP that just votes for what Democrats want?
This is incorrect. They vote for what the Democrats want, but more slowly!
