so, i'd like to call on the leaders of the united states and canada to put aside their petty, childish egotistical squabbling over stupid bullshit that nobody cares about and open the border, already.

this isn't about stopping the spread of a virus. there's no science, whatsoever, to back up the efficacy of border closures in stopping pandemics - it's just base fallacy. what it is is trumpian logic. and, no - our collective governments haven't lost their minds, and caved into the stupidity.

this might have initially been political in nature, but it's not anymore. now, it's about bruised egos.

and, it's stupid. it needs to stop.

there are cities on both sides of the border with large tourism sectors that are going to suffer dramatically over this, and that is not fair. small businesses in windsor should not be forced to suffer because the prime minister feels that the president insulted him. nor should small businesses in the united states be forced to suffer to uphold the president's ego.

as a border citizen, let me be clear: i don't fucking care about any of that bullshit. ok? what i care about is the fact that detroit is on the verge of reopening, and the fact that my summer is going to be ruined if i'm stuck here in boringtown shitsville, instead.

open the border, already....
