It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel excited about a candidate. Chalk up another year of picking the one that you find less offensive. That seems to get more difficult every election cycle.

the airline “industry” may be essential. Nobody said the size of it had to stay the same. Any political out cry over Xpressjet ?
Trans States? Compass? GoJet? Miami Air? Breeze?
wait, what? none you say?
even in March 2021, WITH a vaccine, the industry will look different. Airline CEOs, IATA, others claim a full recovery may not materialize until 2024.
what do we do? kept getting PSP for 4 years? What will it be then? CARES 5.0 ?
that is my view of things. I hope I am wrong.

When I vote, I vote for the person who I think is the best for the country, my state, or my local community. This job never even enters the equation.
