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.

I'd rather be the healthiest nation on earth than have an economy.

Let’s be fair; He didn’t create the virus. At roughly 4.4% of the World population, the 80,000+ dead to date in USA (more than 1/2 our precious elderly) is over 1/3 of death worldwide from #Covid. Hence, “only” 72,000 dead Americans are from Trump & his Cronies so far, currently.

When they beg for your contributions. When they beg for your vote. Check their history. Did they back the PEOPLE during COVID? No more empty promises to get re-elected. Fight for the PEOPLE or GTFO. #PeopleBeforeProfit #UBI #DownBallotProgressives #MedicareforALL #PeoplesParty

Treat the patient not cure the patient. Keep them paying.

Capitalism is the problem. It's doing what it's designed to do: make profits over everything else. Remove capitalism from healthcare (and everything else for that matter) and you'll see instant improvement.
