The joy of the Democratic Party establishment, and its tools in the mainstream media, at Biden's recent victories show what we are up against as we try to correct America's giant problems. But we cannot give up.

I have no reason to think that the election was dishonest, overall. More Democratic voters have voted for Biden. I can't argue with those votes. But that doesn't compel me to vote for Biden. I do not vote for right-wing plutocratists merely because others have done so.

Many professors of economics and related fields state their endorsement for Medicare for All as the affordable way to provide healthcare to Americans.

Our current system fails to do so.

Billionaire Polluters (BP) is talking about aiming to become "carbon-neutral" some decades from now.

This is such a weak target that it contributes little more than lip service to avoiding climate disaster.

*Accusing US of 'Medical Terrorism,' Iran Demands Trump Lift Drug Import Sanctions Amid Coronavirus Crisis.*

The current dispute between Iran and the US is entirely the fault of the US (specifically, the saboteur in chief). The US ought to apologize, and help Iran, in exchange for its agreement once again to the non-nuclear deal which was succeeding in stopping Iran from refining nuclear fuel.

There is no fundamental reason for the US and Iran to be enemies. The Iranian regime represses Iranians on religious and political grounds, but nowhere near as much as Salafi Arabia does.

Covid-19 is overwhelming Italy's medical system — it does not have the capacity to treat so many patients.

People who have other medical problems may die because the medical personnel have no time to treat everyone.

This demonstrates the error of prioritizing efficient operation in normal time by tuning medical capacity to the normal level of demand. A system such as the British NHS, which is operating over capacity even in normal times due to Tory budget cuts, is starting from a position of being overwhelmed.

*In opposing Medicaid expansion, Koch-funded organizations have increased the likelihood of the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S.*

Why is the US unprepared to deal with Covid-19? The same underlying reason that it is unprepared to deal with global heating: the 40-year plutocratist war on science, and its political reach.
