“A red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, Two Towers
What is happening. Each day brings more news of efforts to combat the virus. With it comes talk of “help” and “support” that is neatly woven into questions that would fundamentally change things. Permanently .
I’ve talked to many over the years about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Welfare system we have in this Country. Most of the time the ones complaining about those programs are the ones that aren’t on them. The ones that are, seem to welcome the benefit. But the question of sustainability always becomes a question and is with doubt. Most can be easily described as “struggling” or “hemorrhaging”. Yet, with the talk of this recent 2 trillion dollar Corona virus stimulus, I’ve been reading about the possibility of making the monthly payments, permanent. But at what price?

I don’t think when this thing first started people had even the slightest clue what was coming or what it would mean for them. I know I didn’t. Ya see stuff on the news and it seems so far away. Just not something you ever imagine is going to be on your door step. But here we are. The mad dash for toilet paper isn’t funny anymore and the lack of it on our shelves is the least of our worries. Schools are closed, businesses are shut down. Signs are popping up all over telling people to stay at least six feet away. People are being laid off work. Many are running low on funds and wondering if they’ll even get a last paycheck. And this is just the beginning. Things are set to get worse.

To be totally honest, I’m a bit annoyed that I’m even writing about this. I’m typically not one to care much about getting in line or subscribing to mass hysteria. But I think in light of recent events I’d be foolish not to at least share my thoughts on it. Not that it has me concerned in any way shape or form, but with the news of the Corona Virus came all sorts of somewhat “new” things to think about. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m sure many others have found themselves in thought at the impact of what could be and what that would mean.
