Bernie, oh, Bernie. We had already left the United States by then, but when Bernie was forced to drop out (because the DNC forced WI's primary to be voted in person, those evil scum), my wife and I both cried. He's the only political figure I ever truly loved. What a mensch.
I've been following the pandemic support running out, and I agree with you, again: it will be catastrophic for a lot of good people on the edge, particularly the working poor.
Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel. This is why I laugh and cry all the time these days.
Keep in touch, and best wishes!!
