Over the last year, I've come to the stark conclusion it's way, way lower than I actually thought. Or, at least, way lower under a Republican and/or Trump.
I like the job our D governor is doing, but I loathe the job our progressive city council is doing. If I stopped reading the news, I probably wouldn't even know what the feds are doing these days. That's a really interesting flip, as I never, ever paid attention to local politics before a few years ago and I thought a governor was largely useless before COVID.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
