Quote: would agree if Covid-19 were a real threat to the lives of many citizens.  It's not, though.  It's only a threat to the lives of old people, which category happens to include most of the economic and political elites.

This is the US where it's obese city.  Oklahoma's case fatality rate has lots of young The US also has no public healthcare system at all because austerity and Reaganoid idiocy.  So it is a greater threat for the whole population in the US than say Europe or even Russia which has a public healthcare system.  The lack of access to healthcare also matters.

Quote:t's kind of like when the elites dupe the commoners into supporting war.

And how they duped the commoners to accept stupid pull up by the bootstraps stuff. That doesn't work in an oligarchy.  No can compete a gainst stuff like Amazon, Google, General Mills, etc. etc.

Quote:But in the general outlines, yes, the Covid-19 crisis is very much the kind of thing you'd expect in a Crisis period.

Yup, it's the perfect thing to expose all of US's institutional failures for all to see.  Inequality, shitty healthcare, shit jobs that are "essential", but no hazard pay make for a pissed off populous.
