And reminder it's not just medical care that's specifically reserved for non-whites. The second round of PPP "loans" (billions in free federal money) were all given to POC/women before white men. The courts only struck it down after all the money was already gone.
One of the most basic maneuvers of the Current Year Regime is to rush through obviously unconstitutional acts with the understanding that the money will be redistributed before the courts can even start to decide whether what was just done was legal.
And then it's too late.
One of the reasons the bureaucratic ruling class, i.e. Deep State, loves the state of emergency it's declared against the virus is that this allows this class to perform limitless end-arounds against the courts that occasionally still stymie its de facto rule.
A free press that believes in "democracy" and "holding power to accountability" would be all over this as the greatest scandal of our lives
Except for the obvious fact that all members of the press hold the exact ideology as the powers, that they refuse to hold accountable.

This article is somehow even stupider than the headline. "Don't fight the dragons everyone hates bro, that might make *you* turn into a dragon, and then the Actually Good Dragons might not get to dragon-rule you"
@tylercowen nobody believes in your stupid losing bullshit anymore
Leftism will always pursue and attempt to termite-colony everything that has ever been made yes
It must be resisted internally, but people must expand wherever possible, especially hostile frontiers, in order to pursue every avenue to shrug it off, no pun intended
People don't like space, it's Reddit or cope or whatever, but humans *must* conquer space. The more humans sit in their comfortable city they've built, looking no farther, the more this process of domesticating them always begins to overtake them
The most insane part of this "argument," especially from the left, is *there is no argument*
If people want to go choke on dust on Mars, there is no reason to stop them. The only reasons that can be ginned up is you don't want them to leave, they're supposed to be your subjects
Lmao, this would actually work. The regime is extremely weak against civil disobedience, that's a huge part of how it attained legitimacy to begin with
I dunno how you convince an entire group of modern women to do this. But it would create a brutal firestorm
What are they gonna do? Shove all the actual women into the pool? Work their legs up and down until they finish the race?
It would be the Montgomery Bus Boycott of women's sports. In such a situation, what is the regime's move?
"Denounce them all as transphobic, mount a massive media campaign against a few individuals, and try to ruin all of their lives," is what they would do
Well, okay. But what if people just kept doing it anyway? It's not like they all have millions of dollars on the line.
It feels crazy to see a state gov recommending prophylactic and early treatments that we know get results but are almost completely ignored by the regime. This is like a PSA from Alternate America
Coordinating around this message could be a huge win for Red States
Barring some way to push the R0 below 1—which no policy, vaccine, or medical treatment to date has been able to do—there is no way to stop an endemic disease, that everyone will eventually come in contact with
But there are real ways to make people more resilient against it
Like, as suggested in this PSA, vitamin D, zinc, and exercise
And yes perhaps even the vaccine, in the high-risk groups. But that is at absolute best only *part* of a rational, even Scientific! approach, that the regime is currently neglecting altogether
