you know that social experiment where they tell kids they have have either one cookie now or several cookies if they wait until later? that's exactly the test going on right now and it's sorting out those that can give up the cookie now to shorten this, vs immediate gratification to give up a longer term benefit the problem is, all it takes is a few who demand immediate gratification to drag us all through months and months more of this btw planning on a vax is a fool's errand, there is growing research that a vax may not work/last and there will likely be mutations where a vax won't help, science may be a long term savior but not any time "soon" only behavior changes can mitigate this but too late to solve massive inequality, health and discipline differences in american society, it's a perfect storm against a corrupted/corroded structure
