      I need a respite from a mailbox full of essays from people who’ve discovered that present events confirm their long-held beliefs. If the events of the last few weeks have changed your mind, what did have they changed your mind about, and why?

      Some minds changes:1) I normally oppose UBI but now accept as an emergency measure 2) ditto spending gov't money propping up small businesses 3) We'll have to allow health authorities to (again temporarily as an emergency measure) use cell phones to track contacts.

          I had thought, based on old information, that the CDC was an elite organization trusted throughout the government & overseas. This picture now appears to have been....incomplete.

          Full UBI? Like in permanent? GOP will cover up Trump's crimes, but they won't do that.

          Further normalizing cellphone tracking and surveillance is in the interest of the advertising industry, which the media and most faux activists are part of. No surprise here.

          All of this is about trust and regulation. Checks and balances. All that’s been smashed to the ground over the last 40 years between the individual and the Corp/ state in the west. I’ve learned nothing new, just that sadly I’m still usually right way before most. Wish I was dumb
