Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "...Or The Virus Wins"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"...Or The Virus Wins"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3348

Remember right after Nineleven™ when the travel industry and retail 
were imploding, and Bush and that bunch were telling everybody to "go 
shopping, or the terrorists win"? Welp... same deal here. The State 
and Capital won't do what needs to be done to keep us safe and to 
eradicate Covid-19, and have chosen instead to go with "herd immunity" 
(a.k.a. "mass death") to serve Capital at the expense of the working 
class and their families.

...and speaking of serving Capital — all the sudden squawking about 
the "supply chain" kinda smelled funny to me from the get-go simply 
because every major US media outlet and their uncle all started 
yelling ZOMG SUPPLY CHAIN almost simultaneously, as if somebody threw 
a switch, not unlike all the screaming about the "labor shortage". My 
suspicions were pretty much confirmed the other day when, while 
catching my daily 15 seconds of MSNBC, they were doing their daily 
Supply Chain Meltdown and one of their "guest analysts" was the CEO of 
Mattel.

Yeah, that's right; that's what this pants-crapping is all about — not 
enough Barbies at Wal-Mart for Christmas.
