People know the government is lying to them now.
That’s progress.
People know the system is rigged against them for the benefit of the 1%.
That’s progress.
People know the rich don’t care whether they live or die.

Americans sit at home, self quarantined by the badgering of corporate media. Hunkered down, doing nothing, like stunned ducks, watching their businesses, jobs, assets, and futures collapse.
