Countries that are able to mobilize enough military capacity to destroy the world many times over are apparently unable to provide masks to nurses and ventilators to patients.
Capitalism has proliferated 34 varieties of Pringles, 40 different Barbies, countless varieties of passenger cars and beverages, and ballistic missiles with a range of 16,000 kilometers, but for some reason we cannot produce enough masks and ventilators for basic public health.
We have a system that cares more about power than about life.
Is the pandemic orchestrated by a cartel of countries and pharma giants ?
Food for thought. No political or social system would be ready for a pandemic of this magnitude.
