I'm pretty sure a deadly virus TURNING OFF capitalism is what led to these bread lines. And I doubt that says anything one way or the other about its merits or lack thereof. Maybe stop using a murderous pathogen that's killing people's families to make dumb ideological points. https://twitter.com/jackcalifano/status/1249479470815121408

You don't have to be a conservative to understand that this is both wrong and gross. And you can (and *should*) argue for better policies to protect American workers during this plague without instrumentalizing their suffering to push lazy talking points and Twitter dunks.

In case it's not obvious, this is true in reverse. The dire coronavirus stats from some countries with superb socialized healthcare systems and vast welfare states doesn't discredit them. It just reflects that our societies aren't set up to deal with a once-in-a-century pandemic.

Like any massive stress test, the coronavirus has highlighted weaknesses across societies & systems. To the extent these exist in any country, each country must fix them. But the virus has not provided some final victory to one model or another, except for glib & lazy ideologues. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1249541062764507141
