      I can’t put my finger on it but there is something odd about these rankings.

      Hah!  Good one.

      Seems that the higher your unemployment rate, the more you are likely to sing the blues.

      Now let’s do Covid cases, no, wait, let’s do Covid case rates, because everybody knows that’s all that matters.

      I was reaching.  I admit it. The “yeah but” game is so prevalent we almost can’t have good conversations.

      “Our unemployment is lower.”

      “Yeah, but your people are at more risk…shame on you.”

      Something like that.
