I think you may be right, I’m hoping states genuinely consider secession but I have very little confidence in that given the level of reliance state governments feel to the federal government. Very very dark times if you ask me.

You’re very right on the “slaughtered” part. This weekend I got quite literally banned from American Airlines due to my mask continuously slipping beneath my nose. It was a horrible experience in which I knew and was informed I could do nothing and basically they don’t care about me because they don’t need my business. I guess it’s true with the hundreds of millions they received of tax dollars, they truly don’t need people to want to use them to stay alive.
