i wonder if people will finally begin to care about animal & environmental welfare in the aftermath of this virus. the rightful political issues raised by vegans are mostly seen as a joke by all shades of the political spectrum. zoonotic plagues are largely the fault of how food industries have encroached on animal habitats. that includes the abusive conditions of corporate factory farming, the conditions of importing live animals, and also forcing animals into unsafe conditions via markets that put humans in close contact to multiple kinds of wildlife that are confined close together. food insecurity is one of the underlying drivers of wildlife markets, but the west simply reduces the issue to racist mudslinging about what people choose to eat. i’m concerned that reevaluating our relationship to the rest of the animal kingdom isn’t a bigger issue to a lot of people, especially the press.

it routinely strikes me that there’s something fundamentally mistaken about the whole “billionaires have billions, and there’s no respirators, why don’t they buy them?” line of critique. The money is fictional, it’s inert. What generates respirators is humans with the appropriate knowledge working with the appropriate machinery on the appropriate materials. The materials are relatively easy, the machinery was dismantled and shipped offshore two generations ago, and we have a relative shortage of people who know how to work those machines as a result.

The effective critique, in my view, is broader: billionaires distort the economy to make more money for themselves, squeezing the life, resiliency and independence from any other corner of the economy, to turn all human activity into something that directly profits them. There’s no amount of money you can rip out of their pockets that can fix that, the solution is to completely rework the flow of money in the USA, in the world.
