About 10 hours ago I made my nth comment about how freaked out I am that Americans basically put the deaths of 1.1+ million of their fellow citizens right into the memory hole. The lessons pols learned was be Trumpian about public health at all times. Tell the public to do what it likes. Take out the "public" in public health. Put the onus on the individual if they want to protect their health or their loved ones or the public. Never follow the science and handle any public health issue - no matter how severe or deadly not with science but with spin. Make your communication strategy bald face lying. Put in toady stooges at the CDC, etc.

Maybe one day a covid movie with a message (sort of) will finally come out. If that actually happens - it will surely be a comedy and capitalism won't be referred to. The blame will be put on greed, sloth, stupidity, ineptitude, "politics", etc.

I don't doubt there are enough comrade filmmakers who might try to make a movie like that someday, but actually getting it funded by the money ghouls is another story

but who knows, Boots Riley got a show on Amazon so anything is possible

Movie Trailer Voice: No matter how hard the government tried. No matter how much the president cared about his flock. The people refused to listen. There was no holding them back. This is the story. Of greed. Of sloth. Of stupidity. Choose life. Choose mask-free. Choose their personal space. Choose blame. Choose crammed public transport. Who needs heroin, when you can inject bleach straight into your veins. Starring Ewan McGregor. This is Coronaspotting.
