I can’t imagine how much whiplash that must have given you lmfao
so I can only assume things are even worse
You know that Star Trek episode with the Bell Riots? It’s really close to that.
Timeline wise, 2 years. Materially we are WELL past the point of the episode, just not in as visually striking a way as walled of portions of every major city for the hundreds and hundreds of homeless. At least the walled cities had a degree of public housing even though it wasn’t nearly enough, there were hallways to sleep in.
