The scariest thing about Don’t Look Up is that as absurd as it is, it barely exaggerates. Much of our political elite are just as greedy and foolish, our media just as vapid, and our response to impending disaster exactly as mind-bogglingly irrational as in the movie.
Obama's response to the swine flu was basically "wash yo hands nasty ass" and that was really it. It's amazing we dodge that fucking Ebola outbreak and it didn't get significantly worse here, but ebola has LOWER transmissibility because it is so lethal.
