Governor Gavin hopes everyone has a happy trip

Governor Gavin is perhaps like the captain of a love boat of pandemic leftist lunacy. Except this ship of state doesn't see any other places, while it's going nowhere. It kind of busily declines, in the parts people (who matter) prefer not to see, toward insubstantiality, while advertising the opposite, in a way which those who do real work recognize, uneasily, as a kind of apparition of consequences. Gradually "evolving", apparently, from love boat into a kind of Stationary Dutchman.
