Thank you, Canada
Today I listened to Canada's Alanis Morresette's song "Thank you" and it brought tears to me eyes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsWlnW30AK0 I am so happy to be home in what America's Republicans call a country with a Socialist agenda. The smartest man in the world is about to deny American citizens a second $1200 advance. If potters are working full tilt boogey like they always do they will more than repay that advance in collected taxes. All the potters I know have subsidized the making of pots and keeping the craft alive with long hours, hard work and no benefits. To all my American potter friends I send my sincere love to y'all and my sympathy that the smartest man in the world doesn't recognize your worth to the economy. You have made an amazing contribution to culture, the economy and your country.
Consider this: India which is one of the poorest most populated countries in the world
India Population 1, 387, 297, 452
Corona virus deaths 90,927
USA Population 331,002, 651
Corona Virus deaths 89,700
When Winston Churchill was asked to cut funding to the arts in order to support the war effort in World War 2 he responded "Then what are we fighting for?"—.
Our country is pulling together with provincial and federal governments co- operating and helping one another. I have never seen so many in Mytown, walking, running, biking, gardening, hand waving and good mornings.
The Premier of Ontario Doug Ford pre Corona 19 I would have considered a thug has stepped up big time (an 82% popularity rating at this point-WOW- -49 pre virus. . He is doing a great job as is our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Who would want their jobs at this time.? Peak season here in Ontario has become bleak season.

One option is to embrace your failure. To have your tantrum, to become bereft, to wallow in how unfair the world is. No sense messing up a perfect moment of imperfection.
The other option is to put some effort into making an imperfect situation a little less imperfect. Perhaps, with some thought, it might even be a lot less imperfect, or even better than you were hoping for in the first place.
Imperfect is a chance for contribution, connection and improvisation. It’s a chance to see the humanity behind the moment you were spending so much energy creating.

That "whisper" refers to the conspiracy of silence that was U.S. government policy while thousands and thousands of people fell ill and died during the early years of AIDS. They died because society considered these people (mainly gay men and injection-drug users) to be disposable.
So who is disposable this time during this pandemic?

Such an interesting man, and this page just doesn't do him justice.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Up and down the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
