@shibacomputer The discussion of COVID-19 and the impact it had. I was an essential worker at a rehabilitation and mental health hospital at the time and watching the system break down so quickly with lack of PPE, direction, funding, and housing for our unhoused patients should have been more of an indicator of the cascade the pandemic has had on other industries and economies. The stories from other essential workers at the time from the wonderful people who fed me because they couldn't afford to close their restaurant so they handed takeout out of a house window in a false wall they had temporarily built in the lobby, to the woman who practically lived out of her office to keep a laundromat open so people could wash their clothes. They voted Trump because they wanted more financial relief from stimulus checks and got this instead. Hitler did the same thing after the Spanish Flu and WWI and the Germans got him. People know how to care for each other. Capitalism erodes it to its very core because at its base greed and maintaining the haves and have nots is what makes you successful within that system. Bigtory is a feature, not a bug.
