Imagine the following scenario:

You're at an amusement park.
You see a roller coaster, and somehow you don't find very safe. The data says that accidents are on the rise and the company in charge does not take measures to prevent them from happening.

🧵

Now, they force you and your family to go up. Because everyone does, because you have to think about the economy of the family that runs that roller coaster, the economy of that amusement park, which is also yours. Also, there are people who say it's the safest in the world

So, you go up, they will call you exaggerated, paranoid, a generator of panic if you don't do it.

But there is something they are not telling you clearly: if you or your family have an accident there, the responsibility will be all yours alone.

The power is not in those at the top, is in us as civilization. If this economy is above our most basic rights, it does not work, we must change it for a more sustainable one. If this political system is putting you at risk, we must change it and give more value to science&ethics

Something is really wrong in the society we are building when the most vulnerable are the most disadvantaged, when a piece of green paper is worth more than your lungs, when a thousand turns of the screw are made to justify the unjustifiable.
