Idk about the media but I, personally, definitely judge you. Care about something that matters and not just yourself.

The GP was a bad comment for HN but crossing into aggressive personal attack is even worse. We ban accounts that do this, so please don't.

Maybe like feeding your family and keeping a roof over their heads?

I think the ship has sailed for that kind of support from the government, unfortunately, in no small part due to reopening.

To what extent is/should government be responsible for this?

Obviously a “values” question, but if “tackling collectivized problems collectively” ain’t on the government’s list, I’m not sure why I’m paying taxes, and our government’s bi-partisan efforts to collectively address this pandemic are currently the most pathetic in the world. The only place you see half-way decent propositions is before they hit the chopping block on Pelosi’s desk—this ain’t partisan.

Frankly the US government is rapidly losing any legitimacy to rule, though of course this is my humble opinion.
