You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of ‘eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you’re sick like in parts of Asia.’

Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of ‘at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy’ and I can’t wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.

There’s a ‘Recession this year?’ market on kalshi that is somehow also giving about 60% odds. I’m feeling good about my $20 bet.
