Same as global warming...

For years, governments and private firms have been profiting nicely form destroying the planet. 

Then we get told it's our fault for "leaving that kitchen light on" or "using a plastic bag"....

We are told that we all need to do our bit, to help save the planet.. Meanwhile, they keep on profiting !!

 

Seems a little similar to what's happening now... 

Profits were put ahead of safety for far too long, then they were all caught with their pants down..

But it's the people who "aren't adhering to the rules" which is causing the continued spread !!

 

Are the two linked ?? The planet is definitely getting a breather while all this plays out...

Just thinking to myself ???? No real question or need for an answer..... Comment if you like to though ????

And many people voted for those politicians and governments.

And many people bought from those companies even if (mostly more expensive) alternative exist.

 

I still can't believe how many people still support totally incompetent politicians. My conclusion is: stupid people vote for idiots. And nobody should be surprised if these idiots fail completely.

Valid point... But are the alternatives any better ?? Seems all politicians/governments are as bad as the other !!

The common theme throughout the world seems to be keeping the masses under control (aka poor)..

Not sure what would happen if that wasn't the case though, probably anarchy.

Just one example: Americans could have health coverage for everybody. Bernie Sanders promoted that since a long time. But the voters didn't want that. Instead they voted for a [insert lots of adjectives which would be censored] moron.
