50 years ago was the Kent State massacre by a bunch of imbeciles with guns. Imbeciles that were never held to account
Are we so sure we’ve evolved past this? Seems like this could easily happen under the current administration

Three years after entering office, the Trump administration lacks a coherent set of goals, a strategy to achieve them, or the personnel or effective policy process to address the most complex set of nuclear risks in U.S. history. Put simply, the current U.S. administration is blundering toward nuclear chaos with potentially disastrous consequences.
In May 2020, the American Nuclear Policy Initiative (ANPI), a task force of former government and non-governmental experts, released an objective analysis of U.S. nuclear policy under Donald Trump. “Blundering Toward Nuclear Chaos: The Trump Administration after Three Years” finds that all of the nuclear challenges facing the United States – some inherited by the president and others of his own creation – have worsened over the last three years, putting national and global security at greater risk of nuclear use.
Featuring seven essays from ANPI members, the report details the current administration’s efforts on the issues of nuclear proliferation, strategic stability, nuclear modernization, Iran, and North Korea. The papers are by some of the most experienced and insightful U.S. analysts of nuclear issues.
The whole crisis does raise some interesting questions though: if we all agree that we can’t have the weakest people in society dying as a healthcare system, then why do we tolerate it as an economic system?
We see articles about people who have stockpiled hand sanitiser to sell at a markup, but they are the people the system we live in supports, and that is what speculation is.
How do we ever find a way out of this within our current system?
Drugs need to be developed in the public sector: Big Pharma has no interest in putting itself out of business by creating universal vaccines, and spends more on advertising than research.
Indeed, you have to wonder if the virus is so very different from extractive capitalism. It commandeers the manufacturing elements of its hosts, gets them to make stuff for it; kills a fair few, but not enough to stop it spreading.
There is no normal for us to go back to.
People sleeping in the streets wasn’t normal; children living in poverty wasn’t normal; neither was our taxes helping to bomb the people of Yemen. Using other people’s lives to pile up objects wasn’t normal, the whole thing was absurd. Governments are currently busy pouring money into propping up existing inequalities, and bailing out businesses that have made their shareholders rich.
The world’s worst people think that everybody is going to come out of this in a few months and go willingly back into a kind of numbing servitude. Surely it’s time to start imagining something better.
The visual thing that stands is the reported deaths aligning with the model's projections of a plateau right about now. Then starting around two weeks from now, deaths start to rise sharply again.
Trump created in a lab!!!!
Donald Trump has once again blundered through an account of the Spanish Flu after wrongly claiming it started in 1917 and ended World War One.
The President has frequently drawn comparisons between the early 20th Century influenza pandemic and coronavirus but has repeatedly muddled his history.
Speaking at last night's Fox News virtual town hall meeting at the Lincoln Memorial, he said: 'So in 1917 we had a horrible flu, the Spanish flu. So much has been written about it...
'It killed between 50 to 100 million people and probably ended the First World War because all the soldiers were getting sick. It was the worst the world has ever seen, that we know of.'
His version of events raised eyebrows from viewers who were quick to point out that the Spanish Flu broke out in 1918 - it is even commonly referred to as the 1918 pandemic.
Again ...
