trying to explain that LA is being besieged by the virus right now not because “masks don’t work” but because we have a large urban poor population living in close quarters who all have jobs they can’t quit or stay home to do has been a lesson in Understanding American Racism

when the Palisades was burning down over the summer there was an ENTIRE Times article about how cleaning ladies still took 4 hour bus rides to show up at their jobs because they were afraid if they didn't show up to the BURNING NEIGHBORHOODS they'd be fired
and people think that it's a $2000 check that's making or breaking people staying home? not at all.
