I appreciate the effort to make sure taxpayer money wasn’t wasted ramping up vaccine logistics. Of course the same scrutiny and logic was applied to the Pentagon or DHS or tax cuts for rich people. Right? Of course. Thank god we didn’t waste money on vaccine distribution. https://twitter.com/nicholasflorko/status/1355863404758487045

We are the dumbest fading super power. We brag and we brag and we brag but we can’t do anything right. Anything. We fund vaccine development but not distribution. We audit poor people for tax evasion cuz it’s too expensive to audit the rich cuz we cut the budget. And on & on & on

We cut forests down and then brag about carbon emission swaps. We tie health care to jobs and then call everyone a contractor and not an employee so no health care. Then we cut public health cuz the free market is better. Then hedge funds buy hospitals and on and on and on

We elect people who literally say they hate the government. They say they hate their job (us) so vote for them. We think rich people are smart or loved by capitalist Jesus cuz they’re rich and so we hate poor people cuz they must be dumb and hated by capitalist Jesus.

We charge people with trespassing cuz they’re in a tent in a field and are the wrong kind of people but don’t want to prosecute people who trespassed on the US Capitol cuz they’re Patriots and the right kind of people. We say guns are speech and that’s all you need to say.

We don’t have to be this way.

‘We don’t have to be this way.’
Say it out loud.
Believe it.
Say it out loud right now. Who cares where you are. Say it out loud.
‘We don’t have to be this way.’
So let’s not be this way. Change it. Change it all. Now.

Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Go do some good.

Or don’t. I’ll keep posting about cats and dogs until I don’t. But we need to change
