The only bright spot I have seen here is the weather has now changed for the summer; no more 30 degree nights as it was over the past couple of weeks. People are saying "**** all this" and paying little more than lip service to many of the bull**** arbitrary "regulations." I honestly feel that the warmer it gets, the more this will happen, Scolding Karens or not.
My personal deliverance was when my in-laws, specifically my stereotypical Boomer Karen mother-in-law, finally had enough and drove the 2 hours to visit us. She straight-up told my wife "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STUPID VIRUS ANY MORE, I WANT MY LIFE BACK AND TO SEE MY GRANDKIDS!" If that can happen ... well, I think the tipping point might finally have been reached. It's not gallows on the capital steps, but it's a start.

We're ****ed. There will be no happy ending here; there is no going back to 'normal.'. There are only bad outcomes and worse outcomes. And we don't get to choose those, either.
