It didn't have to be this way
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Higgins : It didn't have to end this way.
Joe Turner : Of course it did.
Because our system is jacked and, at this point, I strongly suspect that it was inevitable that the American people would latch onto an egocentric lunatic (because our education system is borderline nonexistent, and too many people are on the lower tiers of Maslow’s hierarchies and aren’t very pleased about it) and, because it’s feeding into a vicious cycle, and because pandemics are likely to happen at some point, it’s not all that hard to believe it might be inevitable. Maybe not in 2020, but at some point...

Seriously, listen to the advice of the medical professionals and scientists, not to stupid people with a fucking agenda.
53,000 people have died of this thing so far, which is around 3,000 more than the projections I've seen predicted for this timeframe.
Morons are making it worse. And, frankly, I don't give a flying fuck if they die of it. It's the other people they put in danger because of their idiocy that I worry about.

I think Trump's standing amongst international leaders just fell through the floor.
America isn't going to have a hope of economic recovery if this is how they're behaving.

I'm feeling this will be a looooong and painful period the world will go through.
There is no "back to normal". Not in our generation anyway.
Unless by normal we mean an artificial economy propped up by world central banks to keep their respective S&P's looking good at the expense of the people.
Wall street needs to fuck off together with the central banks. The globe was already headed for a severe downturn anyway.
This virus just happened to be the first prick to kick off the dominoes...

We have plague and fear so far. Who's missing? Famine and war. Humans are generally the cowardly of species after all.
