And this is surprising to . . . ? 🤔
Texas hospitals are running out of drugs, beds, ventilators and even staff
The Coronavirus Pandemic Is Coming for New Orleans – The Atlantic
As my friend just noted, this doesn’t look good for Mississippi. I’m guessing Mississippi is going to make Louisiana look like merely a bad day. And I hope it wakes people up to the significance of this horrific income inequality and disparity in the quality of life in this stupid, ethically and philosophically bankrupt country. Vote for Bernie Sanders you f****** idiots! Medicare for all! And better late than never, because it’s going to happen eventually no matter how hard you try to fight it, you stupid, greedy f****.
(6) Sanders & Socialism: Debate Between Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman & Socialist Economist Richard Wolff – YouTube

One thing I will question is why the rest of the Western world was seemingly so absent from public condemnations of events and policies in the USA that preceded or directly resulted in this situation.

At some point you become complicit via inaction.

Losing Earth: The Decade We Almost Stopped Climate Change – The New York Times
As Mr. Wolff points out, the New York Times continues its seemingly proud tradition, one it shares with plenty of other purveyors of truth, of stopping short of assigning blame where it is due and responsibly questioning the premises of this situation.

Any humane, compassionate, Christ-like society would not even be having this absurd conflict.
