Okay so while we’re all struggling to find jobs, keep jobs, pay for food, or pay our rent, the government gave away eleventy hundred brazilian dollars of our money (OUR money) to the exact same useless trust-fund assholes who created this situation in the first place and it didn’t even do shit.
There’s a fucking pandemic happening. We have basically no infrastructure to handle such an emergency. We have to keep going to work and exposing ourselves and our loved ones and our communities to possible infection because we’re all one or two missed paychecks away from starving to death. Those of us who can’t work are facing homelessness because we can’t pay rent, i.e. we can’t afford the usurous and ever-rising fees that a guy who contributes nothing to society but happens to own a building charges us to be in a building.
Oh, but the landlord might have to pay his mortgage!!!! Bitch I wish I had a mortgage
The for-profit healthcare industry is so determined to not handle the crisis correctly that they are *seriously considering* shuffling life-saving medical equipment away from elderly and disabled people and letting critical COVID-19 patients just fucking die. There’s no fucking reason to do any of that, except that it’s more cost effective. Because that’s what The Market demands, is blood sacrifices.
And speaking of blood sacrifices for The Market, they’re also talking about lifting the state of emergency and sending everybody back to work in the middle of a fucking pandemic and just accepting all the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who would be killed by that as reasonable losses in order to make the stock market go back up. "Hey man, I’m sorry about your kids and I’m sorry about Meemaw and I’m sorry about your friends with respiratory issues, but they’re just useless eaters anyways and we just gotta get that line to point up.“
The presidential election looks like it’s gonna come down to an epic battle between one conservative rapist and another, different conservative rapist.
Meanwhile the planet is still heating up and we’re still disappearing people into camps in the desert.
Is this the world you want? Are you just going to accept this? Are you really just going to say “yes sir, thank you sir” and take this lying down and wait for shit to just go back to normal? Like a dog?
Or are you going to fight?
Because I got news, man: It’s not going back to normal. Not ever.
You need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: Am I going to take this? Am I going to stand up and fight? Or am I going to force my grandchildren to suffer the shame of laying a coward’s bones in my grave?
