look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

My wife needed a test for a rare parasite. Johns Hopkins's Infectious disease team told us that the CDC no longer provides the serum test. JH Hospital then had to cold call a hospital in Canada to begin a process of having it perform diagnostic testing.
Expect a lot more of this.

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic!
I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it.
There might be more. I have ideas for more.

What’s it called when a multibillion dollar corporation suspends a project because the government might not continue to give hundreds of million dollars in special interest tax breaks and also asks that multibillion dollar corporation to not use all our water and electricity? What is that word?
NEWS: Amazon has suspended its massive data center project in Becker as Minnesota lawmakers plan to roll back sales tax exemptions for the industry.
