Guys, we’re gonna be in here ‘til November and nobody wants to admit it because America has always put corporate greed above scientific facts, but it’s happening. The economy is gonna continue going down. We gotta start rethinking some shit REAL quick.
I just want some fucking honesty for once, so I’m telling myself what I already feel in my gut. This shit’s not going away and the only reason the government isn’t saying shit is because the stock market’s well-being is dependent on the morale of people investing.
But the fact is, this is gonna be long and difficult. People are going to continue to die and this administration and the market are going to be indifferent to it all because they think in terms of numbers and not people. The nation was broken a long time ago and we didn’t fix it
But, rather than despair, I’m choosing to believe not in the government but in the people. This crisis is ultimately going to fall in the hands of the people being governed to put their governments to task by asking the really reallly tough questions
Namely, where the fuck were you guys when we needed you. Where was the testing. Where was the truth. Where were your priorities. We’re you thinking about re-election or were you thinking about the people you were governing.
And I think when those answers do or do not come, we’re really going to have to act. Employees are going to really need to organize after this. Mass walk-outs are going to need to be organized. Employers are going to need to be held accountable for their actions as well.
And rather than being hot-headed about this whole thing, we’re going to need to be even-keel and steady. Questions need to be asked, answers given and solutions reached by the mobilization of the people being governed and employed.
Additionally, I also think that people are going to really need to be conscious of the companies they support after this whole thing. Obviously, you don’t want people to lose their jobs, but I do think that there are a few companies that can be held accountable through boycotts
Finally, if you’ve made it this far thank you, but ultimately I think I wrote this thread for me to give myself some comfort. I’m just sick of being lied to all of the time by my employers and the government. We all know, in the pits of our stomach, that this is going to be long.
