Wow, morphed from a discussion about the mentality of Americans as we come out of the pandemic - to health care. I happen to believe health care is a right and therefore should cost Americans nothing. Okay tummy tucks and boob jobs should cost. I'm not sure but given how harsh things were in 1918 pandemic, I'm betting lots of people were struggling then too - but my original point was when they came out of it and returned to more normal times - they partied. I get the same sense people of today will do that too. There are tons of poor people and downtrodden people and hungry people - but there are lots of people doing really well - with lots of cash. If you don't have enough food at night to feed your children you're not going to party; goodness kind of stating the obvious isn't it? But there were surely lots of hungry people in 1920's too - and still an awful lot of people partied from a pent up need that humans have. Maybe I'm wrong and we will just continue to feel sorry for ourselves and wring our hands and bitch at how bad things are - but I'm betting that is not what happens. We should be happy, Biden is President, we have a vaccine and the government is going to give us more money.............I'm happy. Very happy!
