"During these difficult times..."
“During these difficult times…”
I keep seeing ads on TV refer to these “difficult times” and hearing people talking about wanting things to return to normal.
I think for most people “return to normal” means going back to work, the kids go back to school, going to the ballpark, the movies, or a concert.
Then I think what “normal” really means in America.
If return to normal means going back to 59 percent of American families living paycheck to paycheck,
If return to normal means 130 Americans die every day from opioid overdoses again,
If return to normal means people can go bankrupt because they got sick, and millions can’t afford healthcare, or medical insurance,
If return to normal means ignoring the homeless crisis in this country affecting almost 600,000 people,
If return to normal means having 40,000 gun deaths each year again,
If return to normal means continuing failed public policies like prohibition,
If return to normal means ceding our societal responsibilities to for-profit prisons,
If return to normal means letting a political party suppress the votes of citizens,
If return to normal means increasing the military budget while 1 out of 6 kids go to bed hungry,
If return to normal means ignoring climate change, pollution, and destroying the oceans,
If return to normal means accepting wage inequality, gender inequality, and racial inequality,
If return to normal means all this, then we need to come up with a “new normal” because the “times” have been “difficult” my whole life.
The American people deserve better than normal again. They deserve progress. Now more than ever.

This is what you tell all of the "Hey people die from the flu every year, this isn't bad" folks
Yes people die from the flu every year.
Thousands do.
AND WE HAVE VACCINES FOR THE FLU!!!!!!!
The flu is bad and we have tools to fight it
That's why you get a flu shot.
Imagine the worst flu ever and there being no vaccine for it.
That's where we are now.
Then you tell them to take the apples and oranges they are trying to compare and shove them up their ass where their brains are.
