1/ There’s a reason the federal govt wasn’t prepared for this.There’s a reason we haven’t responded adequately. There’s a reason we’re not feeding the hungry. And there’s a reason why the bailout is more of a gift to the rich than to everyone else: Because sociopaths can’t love.

2/ But this is not just the result of one wounded soul’s mental issues. No, he is the perfect embodiment of an amoral, sociopathic economic system that has gripped the levers of power in America for the last forty years.

3/ There’s only one thing that can fix this now: it’s time for the people to step in.

4/ Govt didn’t just decide to end slavery, give women the right to vote, or end segregation. In every one of those situations the change began when people woke up, people rose up, and people stepped in. And that’s how the change will happen now: a great awakening among all of us.

5/ When the pandemic is over we need a wave of citizen activism unlike anything we’ve seen in this country in a very very long time. Local. State. Federal. It’s the one thing they fear. Override every effort at voter suppression. It will take time but we can turn the ship around.

We should be acting rationally, but governments think the best thing to do is to crash the economy for decades to come & shout at people over a fake pandemic for leaving their homes. And this demoralizing no-exit template is Global, its not just stupid, it's sinister!

With all the people suffering and dying the way they are, how do you call this a fake pandemic?

Marianne, many of us are stepping up. As good as we can considering there are limitations with being poor and under quarantine. We can't quite take the streets with yellow vests and maintain social distancing.

That’s not what I’m suggesting at all. I’m suggesting a massive wave of citizen activism on local, state and federal levels. It’s not about marching in the streets (they actually don’t care about that), it’s about marching to the polls.

@allinchallenge who said we aren't feeding the homeless?

IMO, sociopathic behavior used to be the exception. What we're experiencing now is the advocating of that behavior. We think that's what we should become; egocentric, lavish at the expense of others, we laugh at the poor and salute the rich. I say teach love, teach empathy.

It is time now... for the love of one another to overcome the indifference and lack of care by the federal government.

Why can't you just acknowledge the obvious: that big government bureaucracies are incredibly slow, and inefficient?
