    the watchword of the COVID-19 pandemic has been "You're on your own." It's an uncanny, strange feeling to be walking around knowing that there's a health crisis that only a few people seem to care about and talk about, meanwhile there's zero leadership, and a neoliberal personal-preference approach to safety. Twilight Zone vibes

      Looking back I'm surprised Trump just didn't straight up announce at the onset, look - a lot of you people are going to die. But that's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make.

      I mean does anybody not understand that at this point? They knew what would happen. It's not like Diamond Joe is doing anything differently. Not a single thing!

      Flames. Flames down the side of my face.

        yeah, that certainly is the policy, even though it may not be stated explicitly. (Although remember when Biden said "there is no federal solution to covid?"). Enough people have come to expect that the government won't do jack shit for them--and/or have internalized the ideology that it's GOOD the government won't do jack shit
