It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.

“I’ve got one of those things! Like a headache with pictures!”

“You’re screwier than my Aunt Rita, and she’s a screw!”

Capitalists will always view the uplift of their captive labor market as a bad thing. Covid era expansion of government aid was always intended to be life support for a monetarily ensnared working class in order to maintain the exploitation on the other side of the pandemic. Why do you think they are so adamant about the “return to work”? It isnt just the corporate property developers suffering directly from unused realty, but the middle managers suffering from irrelevance of not being able to physically wield power over employees. Keeping workers stuck in a cycle of poverty is how late-stage capitalism operates most efficiently for the ruling class.
