It’s depressing that people have already forgotten the lessons from last month.
Specifically, I think that first world societies can afford to give 25% of the workforce a paid sabbatical without ceasing to exist. And I find it depressing that there are people who think this is a shock that rich societies cannot absorb.
Sure, it'll be painful. Taxes will have to go up afterwards, the retirement age might have to rise. But it's possible.
"Society" ending or "Socialism only for the rich" ending?
Don't forget the gaslighting "100k people dead is doing a good job" BS.
People are being hoodwinked while they're scared shitless.
It always looked bad and looks worse the closer 100k becomes. It can’t be too long before some measures will say it has been exceeded. Then what will the claim be?
Anyone can go look and see that south korea, a far more urbanized state is open for business right now.
Active disinformation campaigns work.
Saying SK is open while we're not leads to "let's open America" for that mindset.
Now do the per capita numbers and see that we’re actually doing better on a deaths/million basis than several European countries.
