You are irrelevant insignificance, a dissipated fart odor, trivial irrelevance.

Your whining is counterproductive in spite of the display of your superior intelligence and disdain for your betters

Big bad news is coming today from aviation. This is going to get much worse as tens of thousands of higher paying jobs are lost.

I live in the flight path of the airport. ..
It’s been eerily quiet around here.
Don’t know, but I guess, millions work in the aviation industry.

You apparently have a dislike and distaste for educated people attempting to mitigate a real threat to America.

And you apparently have a dislike for logic. Let's see, according to you...

The "real" threat:
COVID-19, and the "overwhelming" of our medical system (alleged, not known, and based on computer models that are absurdly inaccurate and unreliable), and 2.2 million... no wait, 220,000... no wait, 110,000... no wait, 80,000 deaths

NOT a "real" threat:
33.5 million people newly unemployed, thousands of businesses destroyed, trillions of dollars evaporated, numerous Constitutional rights abrogated on the flimsiest of pretenses (based on the ridiculous computer models).

Now, who is it here that has a dislike for what is "real"?

Oh, and by the way, nice appeal to authority ("educated people"). I guess the rest of us peons are incapable of being educated, or of thinking for ourselves... And we should definitely, never, ever question the "experts" (who have been wrong on so many things, so many times, that the word has all but lost its meaning), or the unconstitutional actions of our government.

Go crawl back under your bed.

Grow up. Don’t be such a baby. I know it’s shocking that some people have different opinions than what they are told to think.

I struck a nerve huh? Some of us don’t turn our critical thinking skills unquestionably over to government bureaucrats.

Oregon still has a backlog of 80,000 unprocessed claims. I suspect this is true in many states.

Well yes. Being an anarchist, you eschew all governments action even when the action is made to protect your very life.

“Oregon still has a backlog of 80,000 unprocessed claims.”

That doesn’t include people who haven’t been able to apply for a claim, which I suspect is many more than 80,000.
