cynicism, a lot of mentioning prejudice and covid
Ugh, when I think about it "oh hey Covid is over because we say so" fits into the schema of how much our society likes declaring things done and over despite how epidemiology doesn't quite work that way.
Anti-semitism, anti-blackness, homophobia were all basically fine after society said so, right? So if we ever get off our asses about climate change, I'm sure we'll face a future point where people will be "oh, that was a problem for folks in 2020, but we fixed all that in 2035 and it hasn't been a problem since."
