The Plan

Chill Regular-ass Post

But the oligarchs and plutocrats don’t want to eliminate the virus. They are using it as a cudgel to break labor and any remaining power there. It’s working — why would they stop?

No, it’s not a formal conspiracy. However, just like anyone or any group, they tend to take advantage of the opportunities offered to them. This is one and they are now in fact taking full advantage. We will not contain the virus in the US anytime soon for just this reason because the effort to destroy labor is working beautifully.

The virus being out of control now is the plan.

Thinking Poorly

Chill Uncategorized

I grew up in a singlewide, too. I didn’t even really understand that I was poor until I was at least 10 or 11. Everyone I knew, except my grandparents, lived the same way I did. I just thought what I saw on TV (which turned out to be in many cases “normal” middle-class lives) was exaggerated. Sure, I was very smart and read a lot, but I had no basis for comparison.

So, no, I never thought, “We are so poor.” It’s just the way things were.
