theres a series on either netflix or prime that just came out about the process of pandemic planning
ill look for the name
Point I’m trying to make is we only judge and criticize political and economic theories based on the most extreme examples and their attachments to horrible people.
I don’t think there’s one perfect political system. They all have their downsides, but when we talk about socialism and communism we only point to systems under bad leadership and how they failed. We are seeing what capitalism in the US looks like under strain and bad leadership. It’s failing.
For example Italy had socialism with bad leadership in the past, but they didn’t write-off all socialism. They changed their leadership and kept elements of socialism. That socialism is allowing all Italians the opportunity to stay home during a pandemic.
Here is the US we are seeing that same situation in a capitalist society where quarantining and access the treatment has become a class issue and people are potential risking their lives and the lives of others because they have no other choice if they don’t want to starve. Is that the fault of capitalism itself or capitalism under bad leadership? Who can say.
it's bad people for sure
that's why socialism is even worse when you give power to government they just enrich themselves

sowell outlines this stuff pretty effectively imo
Go to a doctor.
Extreme Anxiety is f***ing awful. My mom never let me go to a doctor for issues like that when I was younger and actively discouraged me from getting help because she's from a generation where mental problems means you're crazy.
Last time I went to the doctor it was just useless because now I have a bill under my name when in reality all I did was just check my health. S*** is stupid. I used to not want to believe it was anxiety but now I am at that point where I truly believe it's a possibility. Just don't know how to make it go away
this f***ing made me cry. WTF are we gonna do.
worst part is this is DAYS old and it's only getting worse there
You trust that? Ive been eating nothing but rice and noodles and s***
I’ve just been over the food I’ve been cooking, I’m all stocked up though
You need to cook fam.
I have been just tired of the same food /: but I’m getting back on it today
F*** Diblasio and the MTA

F*** Diblasio and the MTA
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PaGL6nKYK/?igshid=ywfka15tgvkbman what
He doesnt have parents and/or grandparents?
He’s an edgy kid/teen. He’s probably still in his “fuck you mom” phase
Hard to think of any grounded pandemic movies, they’re almost always clouded with allegories (i.e. zombies, alien invasions etc)
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers could be used as a metaphor for a pandemic. Uh,
12 Monkeys deals with a man time traveling into the past in order to prevent a pandemic.
It Comes At Night is a post-apocalyptic pandemic movie that’s pretty grounded and really good.
Also George Romero’s The Crazies is pretty solid.
man what
S***'s wild, diblasio & the MTA shoulda offered free bus/taxi rides for healthcare workers at least, hospital nurses and workers shouldn't be waiting on packed platforms like that
idk what you doing to order out so often
that s*** empties my checking account
I just got paid last week/tax refund and my parents kicked in extra cash just making sure to help with rent/bills cause I still don’t know if my job is gonna still pay me the same amount this upcoming month since I’m on salary but have been off for 3 weeks (for now )
I’ve only eaten out several times but I have enough food saved up for a while I was just tired of eating it lol
Trust if things were normal I wouldn’t be doing this cause I rarely eat out

At least we can agree that bad leadership is the most important factor in all this.
Still, in this capitalist country we have a government that will constantly bail out and gives breaks to its richest people and companies that still choose to underpay employees and do almost nothing to benefit vulnerable populations while pocketing an insane amount of money for themselves. Wealth imbalance is crazy in this country, so who is capitalism really enriching?
empty hotels by hospitals - for the hospital workers
empty hotels everywhere else - for the homeless and evicted

that isn't capitalism
that's state sponsored corporate welfare
the USA should not bail out boeing or any of the airlines for that matter
