Musings I

Just writing to express myself sans theme.

We are standing on a global precipice if you flip the infection bell curve upside down. There is a greater possibility of surviving individual infections so I am not going to play the ‘we-are-doomed’ card. Nor the ‘Open-the-Marts’ card. There are too many questions that are not satisfactorily answered.

No one wants to shed much life in their communities. Yes some say they are willing to sacrifice lives and votes to call the bluff of the dangers of Covid-19. I want to be very clear and direct at this juncture: You are endangering an already fragile health care system that is fairly infested with parasitic non-medical health care ‘professionals’. That industry exists as a tower of babel and I do recognize the importance of accounting. How much medical wreckage your body mind and spirit procures over the course of character development. A measure of self-care and self-abuse.

Make sure it is just Your Life you are sacrificing.

When you go out horde of zombies style you will not have to wait long for that call out to become true. The real killer in pandemics is not just the virus but the repercussions of repeated poor decisions. Adding a 0.001 percent chance a few times is not great. In this math problem there are Thousands upon Thousands of actors deciding to work on the behalf of the virus.

Local medical professionals will be overtaxed as a result. Medical workers in the entirety of the field will be wiped out faster than you can replace the skill vacuum. The survival rate of yourself and the ones in your community decreases.

Sickeningly the Insurance Industry will generate greatest profits at the lowest risk available.

With no one to patch up the arteries that are the food delivery lines and the mechanisms to get essential goods you are condemning people to death with only regard to the luxuries once enjoyed.

We were promised Make America Great Again, Change, Safer World/Hope, Compassion, Bridges, Change (Again), Kindness, Gentleness, Mornings, Make America Great Again (Again), Change…………………….. Again.

Where am I reading this from? How long will this last? Will I be able to have a full meal for my loved ones tomorrow? Do people in flint Michigan have clean water yet? Will I find out I have a simple health complication that went detected because of that ever-growing sweet spot of poverty? Could I die?

These are semi-personal questions. Given the spectrum of people around my age started off working right around when the recession of 2008 made its impact. Some went to school on many promises of jobs only to find out the saturation of mass produced degrees made markets difficult and there were hardships in trying to pay (sometimes) predatory student debt.

At this level of poverty there is an entire class that are expected to give to a country that has figured out how much disposable income it can take through economic incentives to leave them at the same level with no movement forward. So it is expected of us to just take it.

The current White House administration as of 2020 16^th of April is by far the most concentrated worst example. For reasons alluding to the legions of sockpuppets and robotic troll armies I do not want to debate these facts. Let facts stand as they are until the mounting evidence washes over the din and noise.

My time is going to be spent inventing with what little I have to solve huge problems. People need to work but safely and using some science and basic engineering skills. Self-sustenance, ingenuity, and learning from harsh mistakes are going to be a theme over the next few months.
