re: #221 Hecuba’s daughter

My experience at that time with affluent members of this group was that they wanted to keep the working class in the factories, meat processing plants, at restaurants and other stores, working full time to support their comfortable lifestyle, while they stayed home and worked remotely. They certainly didn’t care that these less affluent members of society were dying.

It was just the affluent in general who carried on this notion, as there were plenty of assholes on our own side of the aisle who began lodging complaints as early as last fall that things were not going “back to normal.” Which only ramped up as the vaccines were given emergency approval in December and January, leading to a spring full of complaints about the necessity of continuing to wear masks and avoid crowds. The capper was the movement to demand “apologies” to figures like DeathSantis for supposedly seeing their states through to Summer 2020 without massive die-offs despite avoiding shutdowns and mandates.
