Couldn't agree more Steve, don't need it, far better spent on those that do need it. The simple truth is this has been mismanaged from the outset. I know it would have taken some creativity to figure out a way to deliver help to those in real trouble, but shoveling it at large corporations and individuals who are doing fine was ludicrous.

I saw an interesting response to why giving money to everyone under a certain cap was okay. Seems the argument was rebutted because the tax giveaway to the wealthy back in 2017 more than justified these excesses.

There-in lie the problem. We always try and justify bad decisions with more bad decisions. Unless and until we come together to solve problems with common sense and true commitment to fix the mess we are in, we'll just be stuck in the downward spiral.

One thing for sure, throwing out the 2020 desk calendar may have been the best moment of the last 10 months. Happy New Year to all...it just has to get better.
