Capitalism with a brand new turbo charged surveillance state incorporated into all the devices we own.

People often forget that kingdoms and fiefdoms and empires and military states are types of governments. And they suck to live in. People got so comfortable and distanced from our ancestors fighting against those forms of governments that they're unknowingly and some knowingly fighting to return to them. You want a strong daddy type to crush his political enemies, to raid the coffers because he can and has complete control over the political bodies, judicial system, institutions, and people? Congrats, you now have a mad king, the kind your ancestors defeated because it was so oppressive and deadly to live under.

And this isn't just a case of more exposure to the source zoonotic exposure vector thanks to climate change or humans encroaching on their habitats, this is a concerning strain that had more cases discovered in the first 48 hours than the worst previous cases of spread have at their max after weeks or months of spread. That makes these containment efforts very necessary and very smart.

That, and they grossly underpay their workers, including by undoing the American tradition of subsidizing wages with benefits like healthcare, vacation time, childcare, education, etc. - healthcare shouldn't be tied to one's work load, but if it's going to be taken away, they should be paid by law enough to avoid falling on the state or emergency rooms or death avoidably, needlessly because billionaires want as much profit as possible at the expense of their worker's welfare.

If a company and their owners are paying too little to their workers, if too many are on welfare, can't afford healthcare or the basic needs, the company and owners should be penalized so hard they are compelled to do what's right for the society they benefit and profit from though that labor and use of resources. If they fail, break up the company, sell it off, or close it down - just don't make the penalty a rounding error that becomes just the cost of doing business as usual.

Well at least the government and big tech companies have a perfect record of keeping sensitive private data safe! /S

The funny part is it would be more profitable than what's happening now as the ultra wealthy have convinced a majority of voters to keep wages low, keep taxes low for the wealthy, higher for the non wealthy, turn the US into a purely service and gig economy, and so now the economic system is slowing and grinding to a halt as fewer and fewer people can participate in all sectors, from necessities to leisure spending.

Every day is taco day!
