I feel like it's been so normalized that "only" a few hundred deaths a day seems like basically nothing (and the fact that that most obvious crisis is receding a bit is just more cover for no additional stimulus/unemployment assistance, etc)

Plus everyone's so goldfish brained that as soon as it's declared "over" my mom will start asking why I'm not immediately back in the labor force (I'm kidding, she was already asking that as cases were skyrocketing)

    I know what you mean. I’m on my last few weeks of unemployment and my dad has been dropping hints that I’ll need to move out if I don’t get back to work. I have a few grand saved up from UIA money and I’m also working through debilitating depression from my mom dying, and I’m just not ready to go out and find a job right now.

      Fuck family unity eh? It's one thing I like about my in-laws, they will allow any of their kids to live with them forever, if needed. Granted, as a parent, I know you want to encourage your kids to go out and be successful or whatnot but I don't know if kicking them out is the right way.
