What good is a trillion dollar military defense that is stuck on the bench during the Covid-19 attack because of an AWOL Commander in Chief and Congress? Meanwhile, the real coronavirus frontline people are dying daily. A real leader would have transferred resources and personnel nationally to help at the true front lines across the country instead of sending unmarked, armed-to-the-teeth soldiers to battle peaceful protesters in the streets, committing war crimes in the process. This is what people mean when they say to defund the military- they mean get the resources to where the real need is.
As of this week, 713 healthcare workers have died in the line of duty. (I heard about one doctor who was literally helping patients over the phone while on his own deathbed), Over 109 food service people who have gotten sick from covid-19 have also died. This is in addition to 82 grocery workers and 40 corrections officers as of this week. Tens of thousands more frontline workers have gotten sick. There are many more frontline areas as well. These fatalities are all being tracked, but they are not being publicized much.
Get someone-anyone- in charge. We're being overwhelmed by a virus that we are daily finding out does way more damage to people than cold-or-flu-like symptoms. The supreme irony forever will be how the richest country in history succumbed to a bug that the national leadership found to be too trifling to be bothered with. TrumpCo.'s part in all this is that by its inaction, they have brought this horrific judgement upon us.
Beginnings:
Medicare for All
Federally Guaranteed Jobs Program/ Green New Deal/ Infrastructure Work
Debt Relief for the People
Financial Reform
Otherwise, I worry that variations on the Final Solution remedies will be applied instead,
just like at LaFayette Park. When our leaders live in fear, we are all screwed badly.
To those of you in leadership positions who stomped all over one another in your career ladder climbs to the top, either shit or get off the pot. Time’s up and you’ll never make bank again unless you can quit telling us what can’t be done and actually do something.
Now
