#WeThePeople are in big, horrible and #YUGE trouble because of #BadPlanning. I want to tell you a story - a modern day #parable.
Two cattle rustlers working on an #InsideJob to steal veal, decided to test their newfound Sharps Buffalo Rifle.

The young rustlers& #39; Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle test worked just fine - dropping one of the wealthy land-owning rancher& #39;s grazing steer dead with a single bullet of such tremendous caliber - "it blowed a hole in him you that could throw a cat through."
However, the folly of the rife-testing young and impatient American cattle rustlers became immediately apparent when a hair-raising #helicopter versus #car chase exciting ensued.
The young rustlers learned "what #BadPlanning feels like."
It felt bad, like a #ShutDown without #testing, massive #HealthcareSystem improvements, broad #PublicHealth initiatives, #ScientificStudies or #CompetentLeadership - like a #FailedState - which is to say very, VERY BAD.

What if I postulated that the MAGA cult victims #protesting for their #rights by targeting governors on behalf of their chosen labors, god AND (in a hilariously-confused fashion endemic to #CultVictims) their very own dear presidential leader, have some solid points? Don’t laugh!
A #StayAtHome 
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> order is merely a #TimeOut which neither cures, nor ends anything. #COVID19 is a #pandemic that won& #39;t be stopped until almost everyone gets it. Shutdowns merely function to keep the disease from spreading SO RAPIDLY, that it overwhelms any given #HealthcareSystem.
In failed states like America, the people pay the price of #incompetence and #BadPlanning. Remember the #HotelCalifornia - a song that scared the pants off me in 1976, at the mature age of 8? "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." https://youtu.be/niIX0QcYRzE ">https://youtu.be/niIX0QcYR...
Well - #POTUS Donny Trump and the Regime gave you an entrance plan - but no exit.
If you feel trapped - you have good and wise feelings.

The majority of Americans (~60%) lack the required wealth necessary to provide for their survival in a #ShutDown economy. Thus, the #ShutDown is a game of #RussianRoulette, where humans must #guess which chamber holds the bullet until they lose patience and just pull the trigger.

Confusing
Frustrating
Desperate
Exhausting
Panic-inducing
Hopeless
Yes, I could go on - but I know for a fact that every one of us already gets it like a virus. We are NOT a patient cult of delusional exceptionalists. We wanted our gratification yesterday.

The flag-waving buffoons we laugh at, while they laugh at us more "liberal" types (Don& #39;t tell #JoeBiden - not that he& #39;d remember, anyway) are ahead of our allegedly #FlattenedCurve. We had a #ShutDown - followed by oligarchs and kleptocrats enriching themselves - and @NOWTHIS!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">

#WeThePeople are left with nothing but (since you& #39;re not yet tired of analogies) a #GameOfChicken between #EssentialWageSlaves (us) and #FascistMonsters (them).
The #MAGA cult may be patriotic patsies - but they& #39;re not wrong in demanding SOME core PLAN that SOMEHOW makes sense.

The moral of our American story is this: rejecting the #ScientificMethod in #DecisonProcesses only leads a people, a group or a country into more struggle and #GuaranteedFailure. The old #axiom applies - "failing to plan, is planning to fail." Who pays the price? #WeThePeople do.
The solution that maximizes the protection of our #HumanLives is NOT and WILL NEVER BE the #StatusQuo politics of the @GOP & @DNC political parties - two sides of the same coin in a #OneParty system of oligarch-owned #PredatoryCapitalism. It& #39;s time to BREAK them - and LEAVE them.
The greatest gift to our population in this life-recalibrating pandemic crisis is that EVERY FACET of our USA - our for-profit #HealthcareSystem, #PrisonIndustrialComplex slavery, grotesque #WealthInequality, vile #Employment agreements and our #FakeEconomy - is today, laid bare.
What now?! If the government won& #39;t make a plan for our survival - and #SpoilerAlert, they& #39;re doing the opposite - then it& #39;s up to US and ONLY US to make a BETTER PLAN. #TheRegime& #39;s plan is for us to return to work, worse off and more desperate than ever. Say "No!" #GeneralStrike.
Begin your #RevolutionaryThinking, if you haven& #39;t yet. There& #39;s no going back to our ways and old world. #WeThePeople require new governments and leaders to replace this American #Kakistocracy constructed to enslave and kill us. Death& #39;s easy, living& #39;s hard and government& #39;s harder.
I& #39;ll #END this #THREAD with the full piece I wrote in 2018, which called for a #GeneralStrike to deliver our #FreedomFromTyranny. It& #39;s even more relevant today - if it seemed radical back then.
