Evictions
I wonder if that plan to help renters[1] is bottled up in committee for the same stupid-ass reason as the recreational marijuana bill.[2] Meanwhile, time is running out[3] and you know it won’t be the psychopaths who refuse to wear masks and refuse to social distance because they wanna go to bars who wind up homeless.[4]

Higher education
The Chronicle of Higher Education article[5] fleshes out my comments in the last issue. I hadn’t seen it before I published that issue, but I’ve added a citation and listed the article there as well.

Pandemic
A surge in cases is now a surge in hospitalizations. Sadly this will be followed by a surge in deaths. I can’t believe we have allowed this to happen again. https://t.co/m2LzFjkfEp
