lethargy

i believe people everywhere are feeling it, too. i'm tired because i'm stuck and incapable of making decisions. because i put taking concrete steps off so long that now the coronavirus is giving me no choice but to wait even longer. it feels like we're all being punished. i am choosing to look at it this way: we can't keep the status quo. some people already knew that (bernie), but few people were listening. now we're being forced to. we are going to be shown what happens when free healthcare is unavailable, when wealth is distributed unevenly for so long that the people we've relied on to cook us food and take care of our kids are forced to stay home which equals no income, and when misinformation is spread by our conspirator in chief that delays adequate testing and safety measures for his monetary gain. MAYBE this will be the thing that wakes everyone up and forces them to realize that income inequality hurts EVERYONE. the american healthcare system hurts EVERYONE. capitalism hurts EVERYONE. as of today, things just got a lot more serious in this country and i'm starting to get pretty nervous. i can feel it in my body.
