Nah, I'm glad you said it! This is exactly the type of thought I wanted to hear. I didn't put the title in quotes for nothing. I don't really have much to add, but I agree that it could mark the end of affluence politics even if I'm not certain that it will. Either way I think the potential sociological impacts are interesting to consider, whether they go realized or not. As far as I'm concerned, this article is another purl in the speculation the country has been knitting into a narrative. Time will tell. I am a bit worried about how well we'll handle COVID-19 with the cost of testing w/o insurance, and people's reluctance to take two weeks off of work. Again, time will tell!
