The Fall of America

I know that it has been predicted that the US will no longer be the leading economic force in the world. I wondered how that transition would happen. It seems like now I am seeing it unfold before me.

America is so obsessed with greed that instead of focusing on healing the sick we are concerned with wringing as much money as possible from the sick. The financial outfall from those who must be hospitalized from Covid-19 must be devastating.

Federal agents in unmarked vehicles, sent by the president of the United States are arresting antifascist protesters in Portland and detaining them without apparent probable cause. When did the US turn against anti-fascism?

The environmental protections that we fought so hard for during the 1960s and 1970s are being swept away by this administration.

A large fraction of the population seems no longer capable of critical thinking. They exist in their own constructed reality that is at opposition to science.

Most other advanced nations have already recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic. Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and England are all able to reopen. The US, I fear, will be forced to shut down again as this plague sweeps through the nation. Americans refuse to heed the warnings of our public health officials. 

I live in a neighborhood of mostly elderly people. When I go for a bike ride I have yet to see another person wearing a mask.

For now we are trying to survive the pandemic but the next crisis will be our healthcare infrastructure. People who do not have insurance or cannot pay the high deductible. I think this will tear down the healthcare infrastructure we have.

The republican party has made a mistake by politicizing this pandemic. We could have, should have ended it early. Instead they pretended like it was not real. Now so many people are going to die, many more will be left with bills they cannot pay.

Is America great yet? Because I'm not sure how much more of Trump's "greatness" we can survive.

Supervisor: You're fired!

US Government Conspiracy

There is a conspiracy going on in the United States. The government and media are being controlled by a corrupt organization. Fox News is working hand in hand with this white supremacist movement to support the most corrupt President in history. His goal is to control all branches of the government. He is systematically eliminating judges, attorney generals, and law enforcement officials to prevent any oversight of his corrupt regime. This conspiracy is happening right out in the open.

Trump Declares War on America

It is all part of his plan. Allow civil unrest to divide the country. Deprive minorities of healthcare.

The Disinformation Age

I believe there are foreign agents at work trying to cause the deaths of as many Americans as possible and destroy the American economy. Not by sending in an army. By sowing doubt in our health care, scientific, and government agencies through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. In this war they have already largely succeeded. If we had been able to stop the virus early it would already be over. Instead we refused to follow the health and scientific guidelines and many more lives will be lost. When you spread misinformation you do their work for them.
