The
global coronavirus/Covid19 pandemic and its simultaneous revealing of how
utterly incompetent the political establishment is and how utterly insufficient
the patchwork of private health insurance is in the United States compared/contrasted
with the rest of the world’s nations is both an appalling indictment and call
for significant structural changes within the political economy of U.S. society.
That
most of the developed world is able to better care for their citizens, limiting
the spread of Covid19 and providing monthly economic relief to the citizenry
while the United States has barely begun to enact measures that are meant to
limit the spread of the virus, with the measures being limited to the State level
and to those States’ whose Governor’s have chosen to take the pandemic seriously
as the Trump White House can only be bothered to pretend to care about it when
it personally affects Trump's reelection campaign and financial interests is pointing towards the United States creeping ever closer to "shit-hole" and failed state status.
That
the relief bill has focused more upon establishing a slush fund for Wall Street
corporations and a paltry one-time check to some citizens while Trump and his personality
cult’s followers have been talking about reopening the economy even if this
entails the deaths of millions of the elderly and vulnerable, at-risk individuals,
and packing Churches for Easter during the time-frame of the pandemic’s projected
peak in the United States, illustrates very clearly that these right-wing
sociopaths care very little about human life, despite their constant propaganda
about pro-life hysteria and delusional death-panels invented to attack the
Affordable Care Act, and are more than willing to sacrifice millions of lives
at the alter of their capitalist market god.
