“We were unprepared for this moment because we did nothing to avoid it. We have been so drunk on the pleasures of the material world, so sold on an amoral view of economics and social policy, and so worshipful of the false god of short-term profit.”newsweek.com/marianne-willia…

Thank you so much for writing this. Honesty about what we’ve become is the first step to healing.

We were unprepared because capitalism and private Healthcare don't have any necessity to care for people.

You're not wrong

You got a mouse in your pocket? Who is this "we" you speak of? Poor people? I drive a 1999 car. I rent a room from a friend whose parents helped him keep his house after a young divorce. I make $15/hour and don't buy shit I don't need. Who is this "we"? The powerless poor?

My favorite line: “We're going to have to look in the mirror.” Yes, yes, YES! 🙌🏽
