Yes it's cruel.

The West is obsessed with internal division.

Don't see any difference between that group and people saying "only 1.2% will die"

Both parties are corrupt.

If someone bragging on Social Media about how he won't wash hands after a poop I don't care if they die.

Sorry.

Considering the colossal tsunami of vitriol and hate that has been spewing out of the Radical Right for over a year now, up to and including death threats and actual killings of people who do nothing more than attempt to take simple, common-sense actions to protect themselves and their society, a web site that uses mockery and irony to make a point is small potatoes indeed.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

i think it's sort of funny in an ironically edgy kinda way, like naming a mountain climbing award after George Mallory

you can't publicly shame dead people, they don't care.
