One step would be to reduce congressional salaries $1000 for ever billion spent. Call it "Income Re-distribution." :D

The bad news is, that would reduce the salaries of hard-working staffers, as well. It's usually the case that the staffers work harder than the Congresscritters anyway.

They could always get real jobs producing things for the public good. Heck, there are help-wanted signs all over the place. That's the good news.

The bad news is, there are already too many PhD's flipping burgers.

The good news is that even some major business' (factories or professions looking for skilled help).

The bad new is even some of the small businesses will not recover.


Please tell me some good news........

The good news, this provides an opportunity for some others to start new businesses.

The bad news is that the pandemic will probably need to fade away before many new businesses risk starting up. :(

The good news is, in general, people really are up to the challenge.

The bad news is they keep lowering the challenge for the 'general people'.

The good news is irrelevant to the earlier goings on: the s/ff convention I"m up to my neck in running right now is going way better than I had any right to anticipate.

The bad news is the number of things that aren't going as well as we wish.

The good news is, the number of things is numberless.

The bad news is the price of gasoline.

The good news is, alternatives to fossil fuels are a real thing.
