The only reason why the country isn't closing down and lives aren't being saved is because the wealthy and powerful have no desire to address economic inequality or open the door to any discussion that might change our economic system.
Everyone knows the real answer is to shut the country down and deal with this pandemic.
The problem is that closing down would mean sustained and real economic change and aid.
People are dying so that the excessively wealthy can continue to profit. That's it. That's all.

And, like always, the wealthy and powerful are using all their old tactics, misinformation, paranoia, conspiracy theories that real problems are lies being told for political advantage, in order to tamp down actual, necessary discussion.
It's the same cycle. Every time.
It's the same cycle. Every time.
It's been this way with cigarettes, second-hand smoke, healthcare, climate change.
The playbook is depressingly the same every single time.
Deny there's a problem, damn people to unnecessary deaths, claim there's a conspiracy to divide the people.

Oh.
And guns.
There’s a direct and undeniable parallel between the American epidemic of gun violence and how the pandemic has been mishandled.
It’s all the same misinformation, paranoia, and political manipulation. Over and over and over.
