Really quite amazing to watch this pandemic destroy, just totally obliterate, all the right-wing talking points we’ve heard for so long. Telecoms are suspending data caps, cities are preventing utilities shutoffs, governments are preventing foreclosures and evictions. We’ve been told these things are “natural free market” outcomes, and that attempting to change them would be some kind of inefficient—and thus immoral—“intervention.” Well these are all lies. The response to coronavirus has proven that indisputably. We must never forget this because we can be damn sure that they’ll try to cover it up when all this is over. We must use this as an educational experience and organize ourselves now. A better world is possible; anyone who says otherwise is lying... by Ryan Mathis
Oh, and DO NOT infuse cash into the people without the resources/products...that will cause inflation. Cancellation or suspension of payments for necessities will not.
