20 Signs You’re "Still Coviding" in the Friction Economy
“If you’re anything like me, this journey started with just trying to keep your family healthy. But somewhere along the way, your daily life became a masterclass in social calculus, air science, and soft-core diplomacy. You were given names, labels, and projections you didn’t deserve, as the slogans seemed to shift from ‘stop the spread’ to ‘stop those who are trying to stop the spread.’”

It’s hard to grieve what hasn’t died.
