When Glenn Reynolds writes The rich and powerful thrived as the rest of us suffered in the year of lockdowns, the professor is clearly defining "thrived" as making money, so not considering the other benefits many of "us" (who were already suffering) received, from the sheer joy of what passes for "civilization" stopping. Here's three, for his consideration, and/or sneering:
Not having sports "news" was sweeet. The world didn't fall apart without it, and - lo and behold - we had other things to be concerned about, anyway,...as we ALWAYS DO. The daily travails of millionaires-who-chase-a-ball will return soon, but - damn - it sure was nice to live without it, at least for a while.
There wasn't as much talk of religion during the pandemic, too, because - clearly - God had forsaken us (and was content with taking us) so, TMR scores that as unexpected "vacation time" for atheists, which is not a bad thing: we deserved it.
And - along with a good portion of the population - many old narratives died, to be replaced by new "woke" ones, and that's almost poetic justice for a society - pretending to be modern - while gorging on gobs of propaganda (along with healthy doses of pseudoscience and superstition) in the first place. Y'all should stop playing with this shit: it makes you look stupider, than you look, already.
