Japan has even more crowded cities... and yet they had fewer deaths. Why do you think that is?
What I remember is that Nancy had to make statements like that because a bunch of MAGA Nazis were going around beating the snot out of anyone who looked Asian. And Trump and his brownshirts were using terms like "China Virus" and "Kung Flu" and other racist shit.
Naw, what I remember was that his idiot son-in-law sent ventilators to the wrong places, and that the vaccine rollout was a complete jugfuck when they first became available, with shot going bad at the distribution centers.
Then when Biden finally got the distribution straightened out, the Anti-Vaxxers on the right started screaming about how the shot was going to kill us all.
That people are stupid? Um, yeah. That was my point. Americans resisted those things, thanks to Trump not showing leadership, and the disease was far worse in America than any other country.
Except Americans are making more than they ever have before now. Shit, my income hit six figures in 2022 and 2023.
One of these things that always amazes me is people really think Republicans are better at the economic stuff, when they have been responsible for 10 of the last 11 recessions. (Going back to Ike)
