Biden Administration Tipping Point?

I’m starting to think the wheels are coming loose on the Biden administration train. The Delta variant is still eating up the news cycle and the idiotic back and forth on masks and Fauci’s nefarious plot/imminent sainthood are keeping most of the debate away from the simmering underlying issues.

My guess is that a year from now we’ll be looking at mid terms no longer defined by a pandemic response but by inflation, deficit, crime and immigration.

A big wave of despair just hit me: realizing that delta is only getting started and with lambda and the dozens of other variations that exist in other countries, it’s hard to power through. Can’t ignore it cause we have a newborn but the isolation is going to be unbearable this time around.

People have short memories. Here is a picture of the havoc Delta variant wreaked in India a few months ago. We are not far from this in the US if the vaccination rates don't increase.

People here defending not taking vaccines and not wearing masks just amazes me. Folks here are devoid of basic thinking let alone critical thinking.

Thoughts on back to the office in September? Am I the only one who feel like we need to just stay out until the worst is behind us with COVID? Even with the vaccine, the Delta variant is starting to worry me with the current RTO plan.

Summer associate recruiting question - OCI is mostly virtual right now, but how is your firm handling call backs? In person or virtual?

Alright so there’s a thing called reclaim my status. If you had a reason why you lost status in the last year or two like COVID, baby, new job, etc. You need to submit some basic documentation and they give you that status for 3 months with a DRASTICALLY lower threshold to make the status permanent and even higher tiers are much easier to obtain during those 3 months.

Had a trip to Mexico booked last year for New Year’s Eve with SO, we canceled when covid really was up ticking in the fall and received vouchers for everything.
