Covid Closures, seven months in …how will ZOOM and et al effect AA Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, its money and its membership?

On March 15, 2020 we all were entering an unknown territory as restaurants, movie theaters and malls, offices, studios closed. People were told to “stay safer at home ” whatever that meant. We saw videos of people in Wuhan, China building hospitals in 2 weeks time . ( do they have building codes like we do ? ) . We watched them being hauled away by their police if they tested for Corona Virus. Bats and pengalins were topics of the virus’s origin.

Fear, fear, fear filled the TV News and airways. The freeway became quiet and empty. I rode my bike through the city, and down along the ocean until Newsom then closed all bike paths – I was getting angrier watching how these politicians in my state who I even voted for were handling this pandemic.

Newsom dumped 3,000+ inmates out of jail and prison in mid- april while we were shivering at home being “good” safe citizens.  Now I was more then angry- I became disenchanted with my Democratic Party. As I watched, I felt that I was going thru some kind of eye opening experience like never before. No wait…this was a bit like leaving AA. I was now thinking to myself …I am done with this Party. That’s it. I am done. More about this later.

I think these are very scary times. I have considered running for office in my district. Something has to change. Since Garcetti  has been mayor, the homelessness has skyrocketed.

I am worried that AMC Theaters will never open- that there will more civil unrest, that the life we once knew  will never return. That the crash of 2008 will look like a minnie mouse blip compared to whats coming.

Thanks guys,

Monica
