It breaks my heart to hear what people have gone through with all this, particularly small business owners. Lockdown has created more problems than it has solved. All the while big corps remain open.

Hello Edward, yes the Covid virus does bring on the stress of many people unemployed. So they turn to liquor. it should not be this way yet it is. Drinking liquor does not solve problems. blessings.

You give voice to much pain and suffering in our country, Edward. So sad to see those images. Hope the bill will pass soon if all Democrats unite.
