The violence is off the chain in our city. There are still way too many people walking around who have no health care insurance; and who, therefore, don’t go seek out medical care even when they’re sick. A lot of people have yet to recover from the ravishes of the pandemic, and still people who are being diagnosed positive with Covid, for the first, second, or third time around, in our town.
The cost of living keeps increasing, but paychecks are stuck, in many cases with no raises in sight. Small business owners are still seeking help, but if your business doesn’t have a perfect record with all your paperwork, taxes, etc., in order, forget about it. You are on your own.
