All I have to say is that universal healthcare is an absolute necessity. THAT is what we need, right now.
I mean, we all know Trump is stupid and evil, but actually telling people to drink Lysol or bleach because he has absolutely no idea how disinfectants work and is a revolting idiot? It's not a new low, but it is unbelievably stupid.
What probably IS a new low is, of course, taking PPE away from states that badly need it, giving that PPE to companies with ties to the Trump campaign or organization, and then allowing them to sell it back to the states at a higher price. Of course it's mostly blue states being subjected to this, because Trump is an uncaring monster.
This situation has absolutely beyond any reasonable doubt shown that the progressives were right. If we can't pass universal healthcare NOW, when 70% of the country wants it, then when? When? When will it happen if not now? We need this. We need this to live. The public want it. The people in the way are congress. If they get in the way what option is left to a lot of desperate jobless people? I think the answer is uncomfortably obvious.
