Winners

Logistics firms – They are pushing transportation costs through with massive price hikes. They just need truckers, merchant marines and train engineers.

Vaxxers – They get a booster coming so they have something new to talk about like a Marvel movie cycle.

Kids – School is back in session but masking is reduced and not mandatory in many districts.

Losers

National Security State – Afghanistan evacuation going bad.

Immigration Restrictionists – At America’s peak, it had 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. For some reason, all of them had translators we desperately need to settle in Wyoming.

Australians – Returning to its roots, it is an open air prison.
