I may be growing just a bit uncharitable regarding the pandemic situation.

And then some. I have been vocally reminding the dumbass elected officials on my tv screen that they are killing off the idiots who would vote for them. And I don't even feel bad about it. I do feel bad for the children and vulnerable who are infected by the grown ass adults who refuse to use common sense. One of the popular right wing radio hosts, who my brother loved (Dick Farrel), just died a couple weeks after mocking vaccines and masks. Of course my brother won't let this sway him, although he did honestly tell me that I would not be comfortable visiting him in his home. We visited outside.

The statistical difference between the red counties and blue counties across the nation in infections and deaths works in my favor. Damn short sighted on their part.

Gee, I'm just a ray of sunshine this Tuesday morning!

We're in Cape Cod this week, which is having an uptick in cases, although we're not near the part of the Cape that is actually having the uptick. Most of the businesses around here are requiring masks again, and people are truly being assholes about it. They don't have masks with them, they're vaccinated, "can I speak to your manager", etc.

I'm sorry people are being asses. I really feel for people serving the public these days. It has become somehow acceptable to treat people like shit. Do not like.

Enjoy the time in Cape Cod. Is it ltc's birthday this week? Time passes so quickly.

Yeah, I'm 100% out of patience. I actually responded to a dumbass "info." sharing post by a decent person and former co-worker by saying, "Yeah, that guy's a moron. And there's a fuck ton of evidence to the contrary. No go, bro. Laughing emoji."

For fuck's sake, the post itself got one of those FB "this is shitty info., and here's why" messages added to it. Just... nope. I'm beyond trying to be diplomatic. Ain't no one gonna change their minds if I'm being reasonable, so I'm just gonna let my inner derisive bitch flag fly. Apparently.

Huh. I expected they'd have to drag him out.

Seriously, I thought there was zero chance he would resign. I suspect a deal with the prosecuters or something behind the scenes is involved.

I am SO RELIEVED to not have another six months of him gaslighting the entire state of New York.

He did seem resistant to the idea of leaving ... glad he's accepted some reality.

In other news, the infrastructure bill passed 69-30.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I bet he did this to avoid an impeachment. But time will tell.
