      The best time would have been on the first day of the administration, after finishing the broken and lame TPP and NAFTA2, equalizing pay in the fed, and then … aw shit, pandemic. Sure there was a lot of noodling around fixing Harper’s multi-year fustercluck, but the timeline before the pandemic was kinda tossed at that point. You remember how hard it was to get ignorant hillbillies to actually vaccinate, right?

      The second-best time for non-mortal concerns may be today. Glad to see it’s finally getting a look.
