This is literally just a Ben Garrison comic in :corporate-art: aesthetic.
I'll tell you what it didn't cost them
Millions of lives
:I-was-saying: I would like to be free from disease please
Being free to toil for your Capitalist overlords while dying from the black plague
Well the cost wasn't a holocaust, I'll say that
It wasn't a fucking
Whole ass Holocaust
actually...
US covid deaths (1M) as a percentage of population (330M) comes out to 0.303030 (repeating of course)% if you apply that percentage to China's population (1.4bn) you get 4.24M
the holocaust killed around 6M so if China was to follow the same Covid measures as the US it would only have caused 70% of a holocaust
I give this post 4/5 pinocchios
Actually Holocaust was 12 million. The 6 mil figure is only for Jews and ignores the Roma and gay and communist and disabled people also killed in death camps.
It's also estimated that there were an additional three million undocumented people (homeless etc.). Alot of people were killed in the Holocaust, enough to where is was clearly noticable, especially in Eastern Europe.
Haha
yeah also some people estimated it would be higher because of population density, so it would be a whole Holocaust
Acshually, it was only officially 1/6th of a Holocaust. Bet you're feeling awful silly now!
libs will sometimes acknowledge the other 6-8 million gays, roma, etc and will more rarely acknowledge political opponents of the reich (but not that those were communists)
Honestly the gall of these people publishing this shit as the US goes into either the 6th or 7th wave of Covid.
“China will have to feed and house and clothe all the millions who didn’t die from COVID” what a tragedy!
"But also, the power of the consumer and their choices is the strength of our system! I haven't actually read anything about economics outside of work for years?"
Line went up, but not as much as some expected. They LEFT PROFITS ON THE TABLE and this is unacceptable!
ah yes we can't just have growth we have to have maximal growth (never mind that they're headass how they evaluate that)
