THE GREAT EQUALIZERS
The rich and famous are able to get tested for Covid-19, while emergency health workers, who really need to be tested, can not.
While Donnie P.P. Pussygrabber was urging Americans to show confidence in the stock market and invest as the coronavirus spread, at least two GOP senators, Sen, Richard Burr and Sen. Kelly Loeffler, had already privately dumped stocks — after receiving classified briefings on the damage likely to be caused by the disease.
This is, no doubt, business-as-usual.
And yet,
during the not-business-of-usual of a public health/economic crisis there is no public tolerance for special privilege, entitlement for the rich and the famous.
Covid-19 is glaringly illustrating the run-away social, economic inequality of our society.
The poor disproportionately get sick,
do not receive adequate medical treatment
and die.
This is the business-as-usual that preceded the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pandemic has made this much worse.
And yet,
a pandemic is a great equalizer.
Historians estimate The Black Death reduced the total world population, of the 14th Century, from 475 million to between 350 and 375 million.
The massive reduction of the workforce meant labor was in higher demand.
Those who survived found their situation to be much improved.
A Great World Depression is a great equalizer.
After the First Great World Depression people were socially/politically/economically radicalized.
They demanded that those who were responsible went to prison.
They demanded a NEW DEAL.
Right now, Donnie P.P. Pussygrabber and the G.O.P./KKK are trying to bail-out corporations like airlines, cruise ship companies, oil companies with billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money.
They’re trying to do what was done in 2008.
They’re blocking efforts to bail-out the people.
As the body count and the economic hardship soars, this country, this world will be radicalized.
THERE WILL BE A NEW DEAL.
FUCK THE CORPORATIONS!!!!!
LOCK ‘EM UP!!!!!
