For some minor knee surgery.
I see the Congress is trying its hand at actual governance, with predictably messy results. Ideally, we would have a trillion dollar bill that provides aid to states and local governments, puts money in people's hands and assists the distribution of the vaccine. Republicans don't want to bail out state and local government, but they want to shield corporations from legal actions surrounding forcing people back to work during Covid. So states get hung out to dry unless Democrats win the two Senate races in Georgia.
The current inadequate bill is the BEST that can be hoped for as long as the GOP controls the Senate. Even winning the two Georgia races limits the type of legislation we can expect to see from Congress.
Still, we won't have a president looting the country for his own benefit, putting children in cages and letting corporations pollute as they want. So that's something.
