Like the idea of "well if bill gates didn't fund vaccine research the government would do it" is clearly insane on its face.

And it becomes that much harder to alter this situation if we just accept the cruelty and benevolence of our corporate overlords with the same uncritical regard of a medieval serf to his betters

oh yes, the bundy clan involved in the malheur takeover are a good example. attitudes have changed such that they’re seen as local folk heroes. and there’s tons of little mormon groups dotting the american southwest on through mexico

Okay, well in the same way you just accept the cruelty and benevolence of your corporate overload when you cash a paycheck or use your health insurance. Are you going to tell union members that negotiating for more pay is making the situation worse because it stabilizes capitalism?

Little kids go loving bonkers for trains. I live a few blocks from a busy cargo track and have to take my kid to watch a train every time he hears it. I enjoy it, the UP conductors are nice and wave to the toddler, and its cool to see the enormous cargo trains coming through a major a city.

No, but I'm also not going to allow myself to forget that at even under the best circumstances, a union can only renegotiate the terms of my exploitation. That's a good and tactically proper maneuver in the short term, but by itself an inadequate measure in the broader fight against a world-destructive economic system

You seem to think I'm arguing something different from what I am arguing. I'm not saying we should refuse a vaccine from Gates, I'm saying we should not be any less cynical in accepting aid from someone like Gates than he is in offering it. And we should work to make it so people like Gates aren't the ones providing vaccines.

okay but will the united states of america get R(t) < 1.

It's hard to see that happening at the moment. It takes a level of cohesion which seems impossible right now but perhaps if things get bad enough the states will become willing to act in unity.

It didn't really take Australia and New Zealand that long to get their numbers under control - we're starting to lift restrictions after only two months - so it can be turned around quickly if the will exists.

no one is talking about the fastest vaccine we've been able to make, which took 4 years. most people do not understand how this is different than yearly flu shots

I kept getting mad that the media kept saying 12 to 18 months for a vaccine because that’s so irresponsible but then I realized how many people are expecting a vaccine in August at the latest and realized maybe it doesn’t matter what anyone says. Half the people I know use the phrase “when things get back to normal” all the time because they haven’t really even started processing what’s happened. A lot of people are running on hope fueled autopilot so their minds don’t break and it might not matter how nuanced your take or how realistic your timeline is because no one is ready to process that information.
