54. as bad as this virus is...

Mar 2020

We haven't seen the horrors of what eventually will be common.

Capitalism simply cannot handle what is coming. Climate change and all the baggage (more virus outbreaks, famine, war, etc) is going to slap the shit out of our "reality".

Unless we move away from the hideously inefficient zero sum game and find a way to collectively work toward something other than $$ we are simply not going to survive as a species. Most of the recent disgusting bailout (socialism for the wealthy and crumbs for everyone else) is not a good sign.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
