My kids were 18 and 20 during Covid. They all got used to taking classes on-line. Now, those are here to stay because the teachers got used to them. This is a real negative for the future of education.

I'd have felt that way had I been ignorant enough to have taken the jab.

There are events that change the world in a way that makes you think about pre and post that event.
911 was a big one.
Covid and the lockdowns are definitely another.

In a lot of ways yeah. It’s not like a constant daily or weekly thing for me, just when I stop and think about how crazy things are overall and have been.

Yes. I work as a consultant in a nursing home. One cough and they get swabbed for Covid. And then EVERYONE gets swabbed.
I get it — they’re old and fragile. But we don’t do this for the flu which this basically is now.
No masks are mandated but SO many are wearing. Their choice but I will not.

I hate how nothing stays open late anymore.
Before covid a lot of stuff had late night hours or even 24/7 and they all stopped that during covid and the vast majority of places never restarted late night hours.
I guess they figured out maybe it was actually losing money or something I dunno.
Regardless it sucks as I'm a night owl.

Yes and it's hard not to when so many in my left coast city refuse to give up their masks still. I have clients and a coworker that I haven't seen their faces since March 2020.
Local grocery stores that learned to survive on the thinnest of margins and killed the shopping experience despite us paying higher prices is a big gripe of mine. 1 or no cashiers at hand. Limited hours and door access. Bathroom codes and other shite like that are just a microcosm of it all.
I feel sorry for the younger generations coming.

It seems like ever since covid the echo chamber of the PT board has slowly made its way onto the OT.

2020 is when the average person discovered antifa and the dems' masks really coming off. The economic stagnation for the past 5 years hasn't helped either.

We are. That's what created the big spikes in inflation.
Covid stimulus measures injected a huge amount of liquidity into a system that already had the money printer turned on for a decade. Not just in the US but around the world.
The problem now is that it looks like we may head down that road again to a lesser extent, which is probably not a good idea for affordability.

Best thing you can do is invest this supposed stimulus $ into physical gold (or the market if you must.)

You could argue that we never fully recovered from the great recession
I don't think it's a shock to say that the impacts of COVID are still affecting things

No. There was a global pandemic. No one knew at the time what eas going on or how it was going to turn.
We survived. And people wash their hands more.
Alllllll goood.
