        Exactly. This proves that we learned nothing from the Great Depresssion. I understand the impulse to think that business success is good for the country, but the government simply can't be trusted to weigh fealty to business interests versus human life. Gets it wrong each time.

        In the 1980s Twilight Zone reboot, “Button, Button” told the tale of a financially struggling couple visited by a mysterious man. He gives them a box with a button that when pressed would kill “someone they do not know” & they get cash in return. pic.twitter.com/DryVvPtiTX

        It honestly was the theme before the pandemic--people are just saying it more explicitly now. When did American culture become so cold-blooded and greedy?
