After Biden?

Crippled by a Pandemic and an economy careening into depression, all eyes are on Congressional negotiations. Virtually unnoticed are lines of families waiting for food, millions unable to make rent and vast dislocations in the familiar ways Americans make do in a service economy.

Public schools organized to function under familiar conditions attempt to grapple with unknown consequences of a virus that infects even the young.
