I was talking about "personal protective equipment" i.e. emergency room staff wearing plastic bags in lieu of scrubs and having to reuse masks for days on end while our boy Jared was selling the shit to the highest bidders including China. If you were a Democratic state back then, your bid would just get tossed because the White House was reveling in the fact that they were inflicting the maximum amount of pain and suffering they could on the "libs". People quickly forgot about those sadistic policies when things got back to normal.
If you're talking about the PPP loans that were all eventually forgiven, you're right about that too. It was the scam of the century. Even my greedy ex-wife drew a quarter of million out of them and her shop was still humming right along all during the lockdown. Nobody stopped her because most of the cops and local politicians go there for their haircuts and its an all cash business with my ex and a couple of sweep up kids being their only documented employees so the accountant can paint the books however he sees fit..
