MSM News tells us Covid statistics every day. I’d like to also know eviction and hunger statistics every day. They participate in a systematic minimizing of depression era suffering among tens of millions of Americans. Making a problem less visible doesn’t mean it’s gone away.

Keep them afraid of the virus.... it's big business. Solving real issues like poverty, hunger, not big business.

The question is how do we get those statistics?

Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, and suicide. All of these have increased remarkably. Collateral damage.

And now, the hungry have cars, which makes their faces less visible.

Good point, Marianne. So true.

Very difficult to sell advertising amid all that bad news. And eyeballs for ads is what it’s about.

They don't actually care about the American people. They know there is systemic suffering and choose to ignore it.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. We need to mobilize en masse for these issues the way we did for this election. It will take focused saturation, repetition, a constant call to action. Is there anything more important than this for humanity?
