As someone who pays attention to numbers, it’s disconcerting to see mortality rate percentages in countries who had curves less severe than ours in the 6-10% rate, and we’re still acting like the free market is going to magically swoop in with the invisible hand and save us.

Like, I fully understand why this is going to happen. We’ve spent multiple generations in America instilling the idea that believing you’re special is some kind of invincible shield. But goddamn the potential backlash when our mortality is exposed is frightening.

(Please note I am also saying this from a place of privilege as a heterosexual white male. Many others have had to confront that mortality much sooner, but unfortunately our halls of power are still overwhelmingly staffed by those who look like me)

Some of us got to learn those lessons young despite being cis white males. I credit that for making me a bit less of an asshole. Okay, I'm still a HUGE asshole; I just direct it to the people that deserve it way more.
