Why choose just one impact when you can have them all?
Isn't that the definition of a true compromise? When everyone gives up something, and in the end no one is happy?
There's plenty to complain about since the start of the pandemic. At this point it looks like most of us will survive, some will lose work, or take a pay cut, or contribute more in taxes. In the overall scheme of things there were a lot worse potential outcomes. I've already lost business, but I'm willing to pay more taxes if that's what it takes to keep the islands above water.
I won't like it, but no one else will either. We'll all come up with better plans, but if we look closely at our plan, it's probably better because it affects us least.
