How much I long for that to be true. This is a long time coming.

This is the New York City property market writ large. This is the basis for gentrification. It is asset stripping, picking the bones. But first they have to kill the fatted calf and gorge themselves on it. This is the only way of working they know. They need a dying economy to pick over.

There are multitudes of faction within "they" - many of them are as idiotic as would be comforting to think they all are - the trick now is to figure out which ones think they're smartly setting themselves up to benefit après les déluge. Then, well...do whatever justice demands.

The documented number for COVID deaths in this country alone ( from the excellent work at U 'dub' -- University of Washington ) was conservatively 1.3 million.

Interesting that maga types were raging against government health advisories as 'overreach' -

but tariffs on everything everywhere is not?

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

Yeah was trying to be conservative with the "avoidable" percentage of that figure.

But zero doubt your main point is 100%.

You are so right on all these fronts that my Depression meter almost pegged out! Outside looking in was the way to view our criminal policies that governs our politicians and corporations.
Pathetic!

Once we face it we can move forward. “What is to be done?” is the question the world needs us to answer.

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

Guilt and shame are a cul-de-sac. The challenge is to decide what to do about it.

The Good American.

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

Very kind. For me, other people are about to go through the shame and guilt phase. "What is to be done?" seems like the more potent question, if you've done the work.

🇺🇸 is in the grip of a Nazi Suicide Cult, where End of Days is the final goal for Christian Evangelicals, and at the same time, Dark MAGA Silicone Nazis want to terraform the world in their image, so mass die-offs work in their favour.

Those are 2 factions at work. I'm sure there are more.

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

So many factions. So little time. 💯

I keep telling friends and family that the US as a whole deserves all of this. Sadly, the individuals who caused this aren't the ones who will feel the pain, but as a nation, we have done all that you've listed, PLUS spread massively exploitative neoliberal policies (wage slavery) around the world.

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

The next step is to figure out why those same people who caused this (not the monkey, the organ grinders) are quietly happy about this happening, how they see themselves benefitting, and then doing to them whatever justice demands.

ccrraammeerr.bsky.social•20 days ago

They'll do just enough to ensure the system survives long enough to cash in. They're doing to the US what the US did to Russia in the 90's.

difference now is that no one is ashamed, and 50 years of crimes will be done in 50 days, perspective is needed here

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

💯. My point is, face what happened. Then answer, "what is to be done?" As the world demands and our ancestors deserve, as a matter of honor.

ziggy58.bsky.social•19 days ago

Impeach Trump and MAGA, purge MAGA from government, mobilise everyone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution including the military, stop the coup.

elmeaux.bsky.social•20 days ago

There aren't enough "hearts" for your post.

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

Kind. The tough Q is “what is to be done?” If we face that past

elmeaux.bsky.social•20 days ago

We've been kicking the reconciliation-with-the-past can down the road for too long already. It's part of the reason we're in this mess...and both Dems and the GOP are responsible. imho

richard.wickedproblems.earth•20 days ago

99 votes for Rubio would support your thesis. Now what? (I don't mean to be difficult, but time is short to figure out what to do)

keesjl.bsky.social•20 days ago

Correct. But GOP politicians have swallowed their tongue
