Capitalism, famous for not crushing unrest or having an extensive state security apparatus.

That’s how much capitalists value the promise of AI decimating labor costs.

But this was how I became the public-health official who, very early in the pandemic, instructed people not to wear a mask.

This was a supposed “white lie” to try to preserve ppe for medical professionals, which was stupid because a lot of nurses and doctors took it to mean they didn’t need ppe, and as far as I know the government didn’t even try to secure any ppe for medical professionals or make sure they were available.

We knew it was airborne by how quickly it was spreading. The WHO knew it was airborne and immediately started upgrading their offices to filter the air, even while they told the world it wasn’t airborne. The reason they didn’t say it was airborne was because it would mean hospitals would have to take more strict measures to protect everyone, and it would cost a lot and make the job harder.

It’s insulting to be told that the evidence at the time showed that it wasn’t warranted to take airborne measures.

I love the mall. The album before this is also really good.

Also this performance from the main singer’s bedroom kicks ass.

They don’t have advertisements for coke or pepsi anywhere.

I think rich people get off on seing people immiserated.

Cool, one more reason to hate Biden.

Make America Violently Shit Again

fury road is a damn good movie

Oh, you think these are affordable? Have you forgotten the $10,000 “China Bad” fee?

I wonder why they don’t treat swing voters with this much contempt?

“We can do it. We just need the funding and the political will.”
