Key people

gollark: I have a veeeery short attention span and context switch a lot.
gollark: Personally, I mostly just shove movies on in the background while doing other stuff.
gollark: Not sure what 1 means.
gollark: The second one appears to be caused by less work (→ less income taxes, having to subsidize furlough stuff etc), and less economic activity generally (→ less tax), as well as having probably significant expenses on doing testing and tracing and all that.
gollark: I mean, stuff got more expensive for a bit, and I had to switch to pasta I liked less, but it mostly seemed to be fine.
