Comment 2020, amirite? (Score 1) 580

It really is shocking to consider that the United States gazed upon the colossal atrocity that China and the WHO perpetuated and somehow, improbably, miraculously, managed to dwarf their fuckup in a blinding supernova of sheer incompetence that's still leaving bodies in its wake by the tens of thousands. But don't count either country out yet. There's still plenty of time left before a vaccine is developed and deployed. It's still anyone's game!

Don't those greedy letter carriers know that there are multinational corporations that are barely surviving bailout to bailout? Did you know that many of them can't even afford to pay taxes? I know! Meanwhile those greedy bastards at the Post Office are just rolling in LAVISH health care and EXTRAVAGANT retirement savings. It really puts things in perspective.

Comment Re:The "cure" is worse than the disease (Score 2) 277

The precarious house of cards that was the hyper-efficient worldwide neo-liberal economic order only needed the slightest gust of wind to entirely collapse. That's the disease. The coronavirus is simply bringing the situation into sharp relief.

The world didn't have to be this way. It wasn't inevitable, and the future is unwritten. We can build a world that values life or a world that values money. It really is as simple as that.

Those are two totally different approaches - prohibition vs. harm reduction. A city government isn't a coherent and consistent political animal, it's just a bunch of people. There are different factions each strategizing, maneuvering, sometimes winning, sometimes losing.
