The Iron Keeled Pentecost

"We’d be able to help make sure that – all those things we need to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for . . . what I’ve been able to do with the covid – excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with . . . Look, if – we finally beat Medicare." - Joe Biden during the June 27 debate

T.S. Eliot's poem, The Hollow Land, ends with the lines, "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper."  

Joe's "We finally beat Medicare" is what that whimper sounds like.
