In a time of crisis, it never ceases to amaze how pathetic people really are. Hoarding, stealing, finger pointing.
We've enjoyed 100 years of economic growth and are supposedly more wealthy than we have ever been. Yet somehow we have completely failed to prepare for any sort of abnormal situation. Be that bushfires or a virus pandemic.
Bill Gates warned us in 2016, nobody listened. Stop pointing the finger at China, it is pathetic. We only have ourselves to blame. We voted for this. We voted to cut taxes, cut public services, line the pockets of the 1% and send profits and jobs offshore or pay no tax. We tolerate greedy corporations and sociopathic CEOs.
Well the chickens have come home to roost. We could have had a national firefighting aerial fleet, we could have had better hospitals. We voted for lower taxes and franking credits. Now people complain when everything turns to ****.
Deal with it. If you don't like how things have turned out, demand change from your government. That's democracy.
