Just spent the last hour comforting my wife. She’s visiting me here in Canada.

She’s disabled, poor, dependent on Medicaid, in public housing. She’s going to lose all of it.

All I can think of to comment on this horrific event is a passage from H. Beam Piper’s Space Viking.

You had a great civilization here. You could have done anything with it. But it’s too late now. The gates are down and the barbarians are in.
