Every conservative wishlist item has been granted.

- Halt to immigration
- Reshoring of manufacturing
- Woke colleges shut down
- Dinner with family
- Crash in Tinder usage
- And a society so physically modest that everyone covers their faces when outside

Who's discussing this?
Socialist wishlist items have been granted too.

- Prototype universal basic income
- MMT-in-all-but-name, trillions printed
- Price controls, mask seizures, attacks on "hoarding"
- Control of industry via Defense Production Act

Much more to say on this.

But one of the most bizarre developments of this whole crisis is that highly political people are getting huge chunks of their agenda into policy, yet seem to not even be talking about that.

While physical clubs & bars are down, and one might assume social distancing limits in-person Tinder, it appears corona has increased online dating while turning it into a quasi-eHarmony with a longer courtship phase.
