"unprecedented times" these times were completely precedented and also the completely predictable consequence of our deeply broken sociopolitical systems
#serious post
#'unprecedented times' i'm about to unprecedent YOU
#this was both preventable but also inevitable
#in that we could have prevented it by making changes
#and the fact we refused to make those changes made it inevitable
#i say 'we' but obviously i mean the .01% of the population who controls vast amounts of wealth and political influence
#aka billionaires and the politicians and lobbyists that cater to them
#there was plenty of research showing that we were overdue for another global pandemic
#AND that we could use improvements in medical knowledge to contain it before many lives were lost
#the global death toll could have been a minuscule fraction of what it was
#and many places DID contain it
#it was all down to the choices of governments--some governments chose to protect the lives of its citizens
#(which is. literally the only job of any government. to protect and improve the quality of lives of its people. the one job.)
#and others chose to throw lives into the fire in the name of preserving the economic status quo
#can't exploit your workers if they're stuck in quarantine.
