I mean we re-elected the felon rapist who utterly failed the response to the first round of COVID.
So I hope everyone is ready for everything to shut down again and half the businesses you frequent to permanently close their doors.
Americans are stupid. And we're going to pay the piper for it.
Well that's half the problem -- nothing is going to shut down this time, excess deaths and long-term complications are going bust through the ceiling.
excess deaths and long-term complications are going bust through the ceiling
Nonsense. They won't allow the collection or release of data this time either. We're going to have no idea how bad it is until people all around us are dropping.
Yeah ..... I don't think America will be doing anything until the stacked rows of body bags reaches about four high .... and even then, the decisions they'll make will be to save the economy first than in human lives
dude, they'll just use the bodies to build the wall.
edit - yikes, i just gave myself a chill with that image

They just started a strong new Return to Office push. Would sure hate to fuck that little plan up.
Y’know, I used to think that we’d blow ourselves up or mostly perish in the coming climate disasters… but at this point I believe we’ll be forced to die at the hands of a rampaging preventable disease.
And not just from COVID, either! The lunatic death-cultists are fucking with everything from pollution controls to food safety inspections to water treatment. Hope you like rivers catching on fire and cholera!
Welcome to the jungle. And I don't mean "fun and games;" I mean Upton goddamn Sinclair.

It's the Four Horsemen. People and nations can handle one, but if they ride together it's going down.
I know it’s not much but get your flu shot this year. You don’t want to fight them at the same time.
INB4 Secretary Brainworms restricts access to that one, too.
