RE: 5 new cases out a million people detected in my city. Solution?: More lockdowns

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY4 years ago

Such a hot mess all around the world. When will the bureaucrats start to consider all the negative mental and physical health effects that disproportionally affect the poor? Rich folks with big houses and big tracts of land don't mind lockdowns at all. In fact, people with means like this have probably figured out a way to profit from the misfortunes of others in these times.

I imagine when the dust settles we'll see that the poverty created by all of these policies will take decades to mediate, assuming the powers that be even want to mediate this new international imbalance of ways and means.

I would imagine discounted land-grabs are happening all over the world.

I fear the answer to this is "never". I hope that the people in countries around the world have an opportunity to vote on their leaders that they vote everyone who was in charge during this crisis out of office.
