How to be a terrible person: Lesson 1:.
Mary Lou Retton is in the ICU, uninsured, with severe breathing problems. This is awful, and I wish her a speedy recovery. Omitted from most coverage is that she is a millionaire Republican, willfully uninsured, likely unvaccinated, and I'm guessing COVID positive.

As a Gen X, this breaks my heart. We were *this close* to race not being a major cultural issue anymore- but people saw profit in it; both political &financial and here we are. They wanted it as a nonexistent bogeyman, now they’ve got it because of the way they’ve treated people.
With few exceptions, “casual racism” is by far the worst thing the average American has seen in their lifetimes. I don’t think these people are ready or willing to face a generation of not just inherently but explicitly racist young white men, but that’s where we’re headed.
