Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

That story veered into the Atlantic's usual territory of moral shaming and political souffle by the end, but the top was pretty good.

 

Good Tebow who let her out?

 

The phrase "moral shaming" suggests that the person who uses it has a little shame of their own morals, and doesn't like it being brought up.

 

FYI, here's how the story ends:

>>Comparing the coronavirus pandemic to seven years of torture in a Hanoi prison.

>>Comparing it to the six-year WWII

>>With this paragraph:

"As the rest of the U.S. comes to terms with the same restless impermanence, it must abandon the question When do we go back to normal? That outlook ignores the immense disparities in what different Americans experience as normal. It wastes the rare opportunity to reimagine what a fairer and less vulnerable society might look like. It glosses over the ongoing nature of the coronavirus threat. There is no going back. The only way out is through—past a turbulent spring, across an unusual summer, and into an unsettled year beyond."

***

There is no going back. Revolution awaits.

 

Revolution? Hardly. To deny the major inequalities in American life is to deny reality. But they can be eased with simple reforms. A two percent wealth tax, a federal minimum wage hike of substantial proportions, these are hardly the stuff of the guillotine.

Good contribution. Your usual effort.

Maybe it'll follow the Adele pattern. Come back in '21 and then not again until '25.
