what are the odds than any government takes action to mitigate spread for this pandemic? even political will in china for lockdowns seems unlikely

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 59 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately, I think you and I both already know the odds of a new round of lockdowns

The Applebees zombie movie picture getting a sequel would be hilarious

Gloria La Riva could have somehow won in 2020 and brought the American people so many quality of life wins. But we know damn well that if she had even a DAY of lockdown she’d lose in 2024 because you NEVER mess with an American and their god given right to consume thoughtlessly.

Didn't the US start preemptively developing a vaccine. I may totally eat my words but I don't think the world goverments will let another plague run wild with how much it hurt capital last time.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

As opposed to the current plague they're letting run wild?

Wait, didn't we see unprecedented corporate earnings during and post pandemic?

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

That was only because the feds started QE again because of COVID

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

It was the only time we ever got money from the government. Can’t let that happen again obviously.

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Finally the real reason

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

The plague that did that is running wild. They don't care and made money.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
