      "A single data scientist amongst a department of data scientists, who did actual, illegal stuff, and is being charged for that." "par for the course" We have different measures of normalcy or different news sources.

    Yeah now that vaccines are being shown to have rapidly waning immunity and minimal resistance to new strains I wonder what the permanent lockdown states end game is.

I think that will happen even without the lockdowns. The states that tend to lock down seem to also have the highest housing prices. And with millions now free to work from wherever they like, they will seek out cheaper shores. When I moved, someone at my old office said, "How can you stand to live in a state represented by Senator X?" I told him, "When Senator X picks up my dry cleaning or valets my car, I'll care. Until then, Senator X has zero bearing on my everyday life." I think people overestimate the weight that politics plays in selecting a place to live.

      Or, you know, you could be a woman needing to terminate a pregnancy and the laws in your state prevent you from doing that. Or you can't get legally married to your partner, and so on. What may seem to be manufactured to you can affect people unlike you in tangible ways.

        Sounds like you've never been hungry. Or poor.
