These ghouls are still on this shit because they gambled on a death cult run by a fool, and now their late capitalist house of cards is crumbling because we’re not willing to die for their stock portfolios, and the endless 1% tax cuts prove they have the $ to help us survive. https://twitter.com/tombevanrcp/status/1245696379311267840

Maybe you should have given up one of your yachts for universal healthcare, maybe one of your vacation homes for guaranteed sick leave, maybe a few stock buybacks for guaranteed childcare. But you wouldn’t budge. Now maybe you’ll see how valuable workers are to your status quo.

The idea that capitalism thrives on the bodies of the proletariat has often been understood as metaphor, but right now, panicked by a chaos element they weren’t ready for, the elite are IN PLAIN SIGHT openly calling for folks to sacrifice their lives for a system that hates them.

This is a unique moment for the collective realization that we need, and deserve, a social safety net to protect the 99% like all of our peer nations have. And the fear and anger of the 1% right now prove that we have the leverage to get it.

It is an addiction, pure and simple. In the throes of addiction you can’t see the forest for the trees, only the immediate. They’d rather convince themselves that “we’re overreacting” than accept how much worse it will be if we underreact. https://twitter.com/funkmassaker/status/1245794009567633415?s=21 https://twitter.com/funkmassaker/status/1245794009567633415

My business is decimated by this pandemic, I know many of you are in the same position, out of work, afraid. NO ONE wants this to drag on, we ALL want to get back to work. But the economic impact of millions dying will be WAY worse, and you’re insane if you can’t see that.

There are seemingly infinite resources to give more money to billionaires, protect corporate tax loopholes, expand the military, etc. We can finally give that “generosity” back to the people and protect some version of normalcy FOR ALL, or we’re ALL gonna go down together.
