Freedom Rider: Corona Virus and the Failed American State

Freedom Rider: Corona Virus and the Failed American State -- China built two coronavirus hospitals in just over one week.

The United States has none of the systems or infrastructure that would allow it to accomplish what China has done to fight mass infection.

While Americans can’t find hand sanitizer at any price, the Chinese government built new hospitals in just one week’s time.

The only thing more frightening than the COVID-19 virus spreading around the world is the knowledge that this country is woefully unprepared to protect people from it. The response to the epidemic would be funny if it were not so dangerous. First, the austerity regime cut the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) division responsible for fighting infectious disease outbreaks. But condemning Donald Trump’s decision making is the easy part. Analyzing bigger issues regarding health care and the inherent inefficiencies created by capitalism is much harder.

We are constantly told that socialism doesn’t work. But it is socialist China, where the virus began, that has made the most headway in slowing its spread. Conversely, the United States has none of the systems or infrastructure that would allow it to accomplish the same thing. It is capitalism that doesn’t work well when human needs must be met.

There is a constant demand to designate the United States as the best country in the world with the best health care system. In fact health care delivery here is nowhere near being best. The for-profit system certainly rakes in cash for insurance companies and big pharma. But health care outcomes are mediocre at best and other countries do a far better job for far less money. The most basic needs of patients and health care workers are often unmet. Health care workers complain they haven’t received proper training to protect themselves even as they treat COVID-19 patients.

It is capitalism that doesn’t work well when human needs must be met.

While Italy, another capitalist nation, has been placed off limits because of the high number of COVID-19 cases, China reports declines in new infections and improvements in treatment protocols. While Americans can’t find hand sanitizer at any price, the Chinese government built new hospitals in just one week’s time.

The profit motive which is constantly touted as the cure all in every situation is instead the cause of every problem. There are other nations which allow private health insurers to operate but they regulate how much money they can make and how they can operate.

The so-called greatest country passes up no opportunity to allow the predators to extract from their victims. The failed state doesn’t have enough of the tests needed to diagnose COVID-19 and those who manage to be tested and treated can be charged up to $3,000 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-muc ... nce-2020-2 for what ought to be a right and free of charge.

Nearly every solution presented as addressing this crisis places burdens on the people. The “gig” economy and low wage hourly jobs don’t allow workers to take time off if they feel ill. The high price of health care is an impediment to treating all kinds of illnesses. The man whom the Democratic Party establishment want to be the next president brags that he would veto any effort to provide free health care for all. It is little wonder that Americans lag in every measure of good health and panic when a new communicable disease makes an appearance.

The failed state doesn’t have enough of the tests needed to diagnose COVID-19.

While the highly touted capitalist system can’t provide enough hand sanitizer the governor of New York came up with a solution. Andrew Cuomo announced that the state will produce hand sanitizer made by prison labor https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 010121002/. The product called NYS Clean will be provided to public agencies in the state. The inmates at Great Meadow Correctional Facility are paid between 16 and 65 cents for their work. It is typical for the United States to turn to its most exploitative system to meet a basic need.

The irony isn’t lost on anyone who is paying attention. The greatest nation cuts the public resource which would have mitigated the effects of COVID-19, continues its profit making system that causes suffering even as it is supposed to bring health, and then uses prison slave labor to do what the much vaunted system cannot.

Donald Trump famously referred to global south nations as “shithole countries.” In fact the shithole country is the one that he governs. The United States excels in putting people behind bars, as the New York inmates can attest. It can make weapons and invade nations. The police kill more people and the cost of health care is the worst in the world. But woe unto us if we need to save our lives from illness. COVID-19 is a new illness presenting new problems, but this country doesn’t care for its people in the best of times. COVID-19 is again making that clear.

Always mixing up things, news, articles,....

Sometimes we read news/articles posted by Zombie praising the Trump Administration, for which a sane person would not post, and now it is the opposite.

He also wants us to believe Communism (Socialism) is better than Capitalism while he is enjoying the fruits and opportunities of Capitalism. Hypocrisy to the Max.

Zombie: In the last 25 years we have witnessed new companies and innovations like Google, FB, Tesla, Genetic DNA sequencing and biotech firms ... that change the world mushrooming in the west particularly in the US, not in communist China where Xi Jinping is a president for life. Can you imagine?

The Chinese Universities graduate 100s of thousands new Engineers every year but not many innovations. If/when a Chinese engineer/scientist want to innovate, he wants to migrate to the US or the West where there is freedom to think.

China tried Communism for 50+ years and failed miserably. The capitalistic approach that it later took that brought close to 1 billion people out of agrarian and poverty stricken society to become middle class society.

People might Say Huawie and others companies are Chinese innovations , but they are all basically stolen technology from other Western and Japanese companies. Example: The Chinese Rail System was stolen from the German company Siemens.

In countries where the government is authoritarian, innovation lags. People are afraid to try new things because of the government.

It will be the US/Western Biotech companies or institutions like CDC, and NIH that will come up with the right Vaccination for
COVID-19.

How about the crimes of the Chinese government arresting the Doctor who initially warned about the spread of Corona-virus in Wuhan and later died? This is what you want to see.

Yet Zombie lives and enjoys the opportunities and the standard living the American Capitalism brought into His life.

Have you ever seen or heard an Eritrean migrating to China? If China was so good, why did you not go to China? Hypocrite !!

Why the US, Canada, Germany, England,..., the West?

He is on a mission here and doing his job perfectly by conveying the instructions which he receives from the 2 yemanes.

Stupids, I just posted an article written by Margareth. Air your grievances to her.

As for me, I don't even believe the US is a capitalist country. It's an oligarchical society. It isn't a democracy, either. It's a plutocracy, eventhough there's a confusion with the fact that it was founded as a Republic.

China is not a communist country either, after Mao's death.

So don't ever presume to know, what I believe or think.

Ok, deqi còntromurò?

The irony isn’t lost on anyone who is paying attention. The greatest nation cuts the public resource which would have mitigated the effects of COVID-19, continues its profit making system that causes suffering even as it is supposed to bring health, and then uses prison slave labor to do what the much vaunted system cannot.

Donald Trump famously referred to global south nations as “shithole countries.” In fact the shithole country is the one that he governs. The United States excels in putting people behind bars, as the New York inmates can attest. It can make weapons and invade nations. The police kill more people and the cost of health care is the worst in the world. But woe unto us if we need to save our lives from illness. COVID-19 is a new illness presenting new problems, but this country doesn’t care for its people in the best of times. COVID-19 is again making that clear.

Dear sabur,

Be kind to poor zimeslo while he has to feed himself and his family and hence he needs this cadre job while he is paid for it (why should he give a raaat's asz about the plight of eris? His well-being comes first).

He is on a mission here and doing his job perfectly by conveying the instructions which he receives from the 2 yemanes.

Qindibu,

I tell you, I am missing 21 mazoria. Myself and my 2 frash adash friends planned to visit astobia this year but cancelled it. We we were told that addis ain't safe any more. Crime is rampant after 9 pm and this was unfortunately bad news to us while we belong to the guests (duruyawoch) who show up after 9 pm.

I believe during the rule of agames addis was safe.

P.S. I have visited astobia in the last 10 years more than 7 times and what I have witnessed is the amhara and the oromos officials at the airport, I mean the emigration officials welcome you by saying inkwan dehna metu unlike "our cousins" the tigriyans. The unwelcome gesture by the tigriyans happened to me and I am sure to many eris as well. From my experience I encountered it twice, the tigriyan official who looked at my passport and saw my birth place keren took to me to an adjacent office and started asking me if I have visited eritrea and why I am here and where I am going to stay name and phone number of the host.

Man! They did harbor such hatred and now they are telling us that we are brothers.

He also wants us to believe Communism (Socialism) is better than Capitalism while he is enjoying the fruits and opportunities of Capitalism. Hypocrisy to the Max.

Zombie: In the last 25 years we have witnessed new companies and innovations like Google, FB, Tesla, Genetic DNA sequencing and biotech firms ... that change the world mushrooming in the west particularly in the US, not in communist China where the Xi Jinping is a president for life. Can you imagine?

The Chinese Universities graduate 100s of thousands new Engineers every year but not many innovations. If/when a Chinese engineer/scientist want to innovate, he wants to migrate to the US or the West where there is freedom to think.

China tried Communism for 50+ years and failed miserably. The capitalistic approach that it later took that brought close to 1 billion people out of agrarian society and poverty to become middle class society.

People might Say Huawie and others companies are Chinese innovations , but they are all basically stolen technology from other Western and Japanese companies. Example: The Chinese Rail System was stolen from a German company Siemens.

In countries where the government is authoritarian, innovation lags. People are afraid to try things because of the government.

It will be the US/Western Biotech companies or institutions like CDc, and NIH that will come up with the right Vaccination for
COVID-19.

Have you ever seen or heard an Eritrean migrating to China? If China was so good why did you not go to China?

Why the US, Canada, Germany, England,..., the West?

Freedom Rider: Corona Virus and the Failed American State

Margaret Kimberley, BAR senior columnist

https://www.blackagendareport.com/freed ... ican-state

11 Mar 2020


Freedom Rider: Corona Virus and the Failed American State -- China built two coronavirus hospitals in just over one week.

The United States has none of the systems or infrastructure that would allow it to accomplish what China has done to fight mass infection.

While Americans can’t find hand sanitizer at any price, the Chinese government built new hospitals in just one week’s time.

The only thing more frightening than the COVID-19 virus spreading around the world is the knowledge that this country is woefully unprepared to protect people from it. The response to the epidemic would be funny if it were not so dangerous. First, the austerity regime cut the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) division responsible for fighting infectious disease outbreaks. But condemning Donald Trump’s decision making is the easy part. Analyzing bigger issues regarding health care and the inherent inefficiencies created by capitalism is much harder.

We are constantly told that socialism doesn’t work. But it is socialist China, where the virus began, that has made the most headway in slowing its spread. Conversely, the United States has none of the systems or infrastructure that would allow it to accomplish the same thing. It is capitalism that doesn’t work well when human needs must be met.

There is a constant demand to designate the United States as the best country in the world with the best health care system. In fact health care delivery here is nowhere near being best. The for-profit system certainly rakes in cash for insurance companies and big pharma. But health care outcomes are mediocre at best and other countries do a far better job for far less money. The most basic needs of patients and health care workers are often unmet. Health care workers complain they haven’t received proper training to protect themselves even as they treat COVID-19 patients.

It is capitalism that doesn’t work well when human needs must be met.

While Italy, another capitalist nation, has been placed off limits because of the high number of COVID-19 cases, China reports declines in new infections and improvements in treatment protocols. While Americans can’t find hand sanitizer at any price, the Chinese government built new hospitals in just one week’s time.

The profit motive which is constantly touted as the cure all in every situation is instead the cause of every problem. There are other nations which allow private health insurers to operate but they regulate how much money they can make and how they can operate.

The so-called greatest country passes up no opportunity to allow the predators to extract from their victims. The failed state doesn’t have enough of the tests needed to diagnose COVID-19 and those who manage to be tested and treated can be charged up to $3,000 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-muc ... nce-2020-2 for what ought to be a right and free of charge.

Nearly every solution presented as addressing this crisis places burdens on the people. The “gig” economy and low wage hourly jobs don’t allow workers to take time off if they feel ill. The high price of health care is an impediment to treating all kinds of illnesses. The man whom the Democratic Party establishment want to be the next president brags that he would veto any effort to provide free health care for all. It is little wonder that Americans lag in every measure of good health and panic when a new communicable disease makes an appearance.

The failed state doesn’t have enough of the tests needed to diagnose COVID-19.

While the highly touted capitalist system can’t provide enough hand sanitizer the governor of New York came up with a solution. Andrew Cuomo announced that the state will produce hand sanitizer made by prison labor https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 010121002/. The product called NYS Clean will be provided to public agencies in the state. The inmates at Great Meadow Correctional Facility are paid between 16 and 65 cents for their work. It is typical for the United States to turn to its most exploitative system to meet a basic need.

The irony isn’t lost on anyone who is paying attention.

What a Hypocrite !

BTW, you borrowed the word "plutocracy" from the village idiot Dictator Isayas, a high school graduate and a failed freshman student at AA University. He likes to search for rhetoric words online to sound educated that he deeply lacks.

Typical "The Blind leading the Blind". The idiot dictator leading his idiot followers.

Stupids, I just posted an article written by Margareth. Air your grievances to her.

As for me, I don't even believe the US is a capitalist country. It's an oligarchical society. It isn't a democracy, either. It's a plutocracy, eventhough there's a confusion with the fact that it was founded as a Republic.

China is not a communist country either, after Mao's death.

So don't ever presume to know, what I believe or think.

Ok, deqi còntromurò?
