would have been better if it was the first stage in this case

It's not that deaths are self evidently bad, they're bad because of economic reasons
:capitalist-laugh: Peons die, it's not an issue. Too many peons die, though?
:porky-scared-flipped: Oh god, oh shit. That might affect my bottom line.
Hey hey you cant say things that imply that labour might be the source of value.
literally the first article ive ever seen in support of china's good covid policies.
'Because I've really got them over a barrel now. There's an official report that says I was stabbed by a Nazi assassin trying to kill them. They'd certainly look silly trying to court-martial me after that.' 'But, Yossarian!' Major Danby exclaimed. 'There's another official report that says you were stabbed by an innocent girl in the course of extensive black-market operations involving acts of sabotage and the sale of military secrets to the enemy.' Yossarian was taken back severely with surprise and disappointment. 'Another official report?' 'Yossarian, they can prepare as many official reports as they want and choose whichever ones they need on any given occasion. Didn't you know that?'
Too bad they can't actually do it cuz they poisoned their own people with "muh freedumbs" ideology.
This article isn't about the world adopting the policies, try reading it.
It is about how the world wants China to keep doing zero-covid so their economy doesn't collapse and take the global supply chain with it.
When you ask "but at what cost" enough you eventually realize the cost is actually lower.
The porkies: We'll just have to learn to live with Covid:cap-think:
Also the porkies, after 2 years of this shit: Ah, hey, you know what? China's zero Covid strategy might actually be good. Sorry it took us so long to admit it. But at least we all know how to live with Covid now:ancap-good:
What I thought I was getting: we are wrong and should all adopt zero covid
What I was actually getting: only China should maintain zero covid while the rest of us let the virus spread and mutate rampantly
Also I love that the mass suffering and deaths are sort of sprinkled in as an afterthought to maintaining global supply chains. Real sick liberal shit here
You know what could have avoided all this shit? Not being :amerikkka: . This shit should have been a 9/11 moment where liberals would have locked step with the chuds. I really do think that we could have gone full fash two years ago if the president was anyone but this guy :trump-anguish:. Like yeah, we aren’t there because of his incompetence. Because it would have been 9/11 electric boogaloo if it was anyone up on that Republican primary debates. For sure Rubio and Cruz would have turned this into some robocop hellworld. I’m pretty sure Clinton would have told us to “suck it up” in her address to the nation after Palin sung Baby’s got back. And you know blue MAGA would have done the same shit regular MAGA did :maybe-later-kiddo:
ok guys time to follow china strategy or my profit will be tanking 🦧 :trump-anguish:
NPR this morning: "Obviously a zero covid policy is impossible and not at all what we're aiming for. Keeping hospitals open is what we're aiming for."
