1.? Do you think the Canadian truckers convoy to Ottawa is the start of a revolution? That seems like a reach for me. If you had asked whether it is symptomatic of growing civil unrest, I would have answered yes. Perhaps becauseI am not Canadian and so slightly insulated from the effects, I am not seeing it in itself as having quite that much impact. 2.? Do you think any money fraudulently dispersed as part of COVID relief will ever be retrieved? I would have said no a year ago, but the news has lately had several instances of cold cases solved and January 6th perpetrators identified and followed up. It seems to me that the answer depends upon whether someone gets fired up enough to pursue it, and that?seems to be dependent upon politics and media spin. I think the topic makes a good political diversion from more problematic issues, so I would not be surprised to see a public figure take it up as a righteous battle cry. 3.? Do you think the unemployment insurance systems works as stated? No? I have not personally collected unemployment since my twenties, but I know plenty of people who lived on it for some time during COVID. SInce many were from understaffed healthcare industry, I concluded it might have room for improvement. 4.? Have you ever had your email account hacked and held for ransom? No. 5.? Do you think Biden should consider nominating someone other than a Black woman to replace Justice Breyer? Yes. I think the recent increase in foci on race and also, in a parallel trend, vaccination status, has become divisive. It feels as though we have slid away from equality issues and into a contending for superiority. On Thu, Feb 3, 2022 at 9:16 PM mrvnchpmn <chapman@...> wrote:
