My issue is that its not going to end, they will milk this for decades.
The cash wheel is spinning as is the chance to erode our civil rights, they are not going to give us all our lives back anytime soon if ever.
Lets see where we are in 12 months from now so start of next season and we'll see who's right.
Those saying dumb sht like "The quicker we all have the vaccine the quicker we get back to normal" are worryingly ignorant, 20 variants later.
We'll see who is right? Do you assume I think you're wrong then? This is literally capitalism at work, it's the very definition of capitalism. I have seen you defend it from socialist stand points, and now it doesn't suit, you're jumping left?
Yes it stinks. Yes there is undoubtedly corruption. Is this a reason for you not to have the vaccine? Absolutely not. If a billionaire adds a few sheckels to his already vast amount of wealth, and you get to live longer, and to live that life without serious complications, it's worth it. Denying him a few sheckels changes nothing.
