Let me spoil the ending of that plan: everyone just lies about being immune so they can go back to work and rolls the dice on whether they end up getting owned by the Roni because it beats starving.

Nah, you would need a doctor's note and/or a special ID card. If police can verify a driver's license, they can verify a corona ID.

It is also how the Cold War worked out and the ROC/Taiwan was unofficially part of the American economic/security umbrella like SK/Japan this included preferential treatment in trade from the 1970s onward.

Also, in Taiwan, there was a quasi-fascist mass murder of the left-wing during the 1950s and it only had free elections in 1996 after decades of KMT rule.

American leftists are completely morons.

the mid-century purges in Taiwan also coincided with the US halting all trade with China (the US was China's biggest trade partner at the time) and pressuring all of China's neighbors to cut them off

Once again it's crazy how regular posters on these forums knew that poo poo was going to affect the US and it was going to be bad back in what, late January? And the surgeon general, Dr. Fauci, Tmrup, and all these high up government officials and experts were downplaying it until the last possible second.

I didn't get on board the doom train until about the last week of February when I realized that all of our economic centers were going to go into lockdown and (at least) hundreds of thousands were going to die.

In my defense I figured it would be another SARS.

I normally can hear the sound of trucks on the highway coming out of the pass and towards Seattle and Tacoma. when they close the pass it gets quiet and it’s really noticeable.

today is the first day I don’t hear trucks on the highway, in the same way as it would be if the pass was closed.

The light pollution is not as bad here lately I've noticed and I can hear the train horn clear as it was coming through my neighborhood because of the lack of excess background noise. It's been kinda nice but a little unnerving

wait till what comes after this. there are already leaked documents from bain presentations that essentially show every non mega corp that didn't have the ability to survive this and every non mega landlord corporation get scooped up as well. disasters, economic collapses, and acclerationalism are great for capitalism, it's the best thing out there for them. i wouldn't be shocked if the medical outcome is one super private capital run healthcare corp which privatizes the profits like crazy but the government backs all the unused beds, facilities, and supplies by taxing the working class so private capital doesn't lose money on it. think like the private prison industrial complex the investment firms already own.

You misunderstand. Finance, law, and tech (to some extent) are the industries for rich kids with some actual aptitude since they do require real work. The cool thing about being a rich kids is that you don't have to work at all! And the sinecures for rich failsons have always been thinktanks, politics, NGOs, and journalism.

But I guess you're right those aren't nearly as lucrative so the tryhards will either go into the family business or, if we don't follow the light of Mao and liquidate the landlord class, will follow the tried and true method of capital accumulation by consolidating the distressed lower- and middle-tier landlords' assets for pennies and becoming megaslumlords.
