Is it even fixable?
« on: Wed, 17 June 2020, 15:31:41 »
At this point we know a few things.

Korona is highly infectious.
Deadly to anyone over the age of 60.
Deadly to overweight peeps over 50.
Deadly to severely-overweight peeps of all ages.
'Murica has a majority population of we phatties.
The general public is very haphazard about Social-Distancing.
The general service industry is very haphazard about Regulation.
The government doesn't really care and is thoroughly ineffective
Humans have to eat
Humans have to farm
Food has to be refrigerated for transport
Korona survives almost indefinitely in refrigerated conditions
Humans have to stock grocery shelves

One looks at the pipeline and posits it's likely impossible to NOT get infected at some point in the 'Murican state of affairs.

Vaccines only work for a short while before an update is required. Hopefully everything falls into place but well we haven't been very lucky thus far.


Thoughts ?  What are your survival plans, life decisions ?

another viewpoint
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
