It's so messed up to me that we would rather see food rotting on the shelves of supermarkets (ag output has barely slowed down at all), instead of just providing American citizens with the UBI they need to feed themselves through this pandemic. Why are we all so willing to risk our lives to prop up Q3 earnings reports for useless corporations that aren't necessary during this crisis?
- clairity 6y agomost of us don't care a lick about corporate earnings. we risk our lives every day just by waking up and doing anything, to the tune of 8000 american deaths a day (for example). should we just remain socially isolated for the rest of our lives instead? life is risk, and so risk is not a reason to forgo life.
- viklove 6y agoAre you trying to imply that all risk is equivalent? I'm not saying we should "forgo life," I'm just wondering why so many people are rushing to get back to driving Ubers, flipping burgers, etc. in the midst of this pandemic. It's not worth the risk of COVID, which is much, much higher than the baseline risk of everyday life.
