Covid-2019 - 2021-11-23

Summary: 

We were encouraged to see this headline on a story coming in this weekend's New York Times Magazine: "Could Covid Lead to Progress?" We thought it would illuminate details of the "post-war productivity-led boom" we've been talking about for over a year. Sigh, sadly not. The "progress" is basically that people have been scared out of their wits by the pandemic, and when the next one comes we will all go collectively insane about it faster.
