1/ So much pain and suffering could have been avoided if 1) our healthcare system was designed to improve health more than increase profit, 2) our govt agencies were quick and responsive to the needs of people over the demands of an unjust economy...

2/ 3) the president had moved quickly to provide all equipment & medical support, which he had the authority to do, and 4) our govt had provided immediate sustained bailout in the form of #directcashrelief.

3/ Instead, the virus hit us much harder than it had to & a wave of economic despair has slammed us hard. Now people want to go back to work to pay their rent & feed their kids, which is likely to cause the next wave of mass infection. Terrible? Yes, but important to understand .

4/ I don’t think we can get out of this mess until enough of us face it in all its horror; not just the results of bad government but the reality of bad government - its utter venality. And it is ours to change. It will not be easy but our democracy, and our lives, depend on it.

If the people collectively had a proper education. No educated populace would tolerate the lack of representation & permit trickle up economics.

The biggest tragedy of all during this crisis... Is the tragedy of knowing it didn’t have to be this way.

America has suffered from a tremendous burden of orchestrating false flag operations for decades, exhausting its military on useless wars and interventions while neglecting its own citizenry.

"If government agencies were quick and responsive ".. You are clearly not familiar with government agencies.

Look at the failures of the socialist systems of Italy, France, UK, and Germany. Look at the rate of Wuhan virus deaths per capita. America has done much better by comparison.

In our healthcare system, the well being of the patient will always be only one consideration, with profit sitting along side of it. It's because of the profit motive that we have many amazing cures, but also why we ignore those that are hard to profit from. No easy answers..
