So the boxoffice for Suicide Squad was terribly disappointing.
And I can't help but think- who is going to see it in theaters? I watched in on HBOMax, but I feel like (where I am right now) things are burning.
And it's so weird, because it seemed like just yesterday (actually, it was the middle of June) when things were so good- vaccinations, openings, etc., that I was able to travel. And now? Hunkering down again. All because we have a ton of vaccines here that people can't be bothered to take. Which is beyond frustrating.
It's the rake scene in the Simpsons, except we know the rakes are there, and we keep stepping on them on purpose, over and over again.
(As for the housing situation- I saw that firsthand at the end of last year; people were buying houses unseen, and companies were snapping up houses as investment properties. In my area, a lot of families that have lived here for generations have left because they were offered insane amounts of money; properties that cratered in 2007-2011 are selling for much more than the prior height, and a friend of mine that had been looking for a house has been unable to purchase a property.)
