Not without federal stimulus money. Not without an extended moratorium on evictions. Not without supplemental unemployment insurance.

We’re sitting on a boiling kettle of agony, here. I fear that the people are getting desperate and might be amenable to a dictatorship if it meets their immediate needs.

I worry than January 2021 won’t come soon enough to save us from that dictatorship.
