ADDENDUM TO THE PREVIOUS .....

The rules applied in America, and some other industrial countries, of total free markets and wild forms of capitalism, the abuse of social and economical laissez-fair and the free reign of corporate power, and their bought politicians, should start changing, and be rethought in light of the corona virus pandemic world wide and the deadly effects all over.

As the filmmaker A.Taylor eloquently said; It's clear that in a crisis, the rules don't apply, which makes one wonder why they are rules in the first place, this is an unprecedented opportunity to not just hit the pause button and temporarily ease the pain, but to permanently change the rules so that untold millions of people aren't so vulnerable to begin with.

Our Washington administration and intelligentsia, are adamant at buying people's forgiveness with cheap stimulus packages while ignoring the reality and the real battlefield, ignoring how to pay for these trillions and who will provide them, and later who's going to live with several trillions of more debt and who will finance it, I don't have an answer and no one is giving one either.

To borrow the Atlantic Peter Wehner's words, "Taken together, this is a massive failure in leadership, that stems from a massive defect in character. our president is so impulsive, short sighted, and undisciplined, that he is incapable and unable to plan or even think beyond the moment, beyond his little interests,and he is so narcissist and unreflective that he is totally incapable of learning from his mistakes".

The nation is slowly recognizing these facts, and reacting to the indecisiveness and open signs of disarray and contradiction within the leadership. Treating him as a bystander, the nation's businesses, sports, schools and colleges, even mayors and governors are all taking it upon themselves to shut down, and find appropriate measures to save people and save the situation. People are self quarantining themselves, their children and their loved ones, all independently from the president or the White-House or the CDC guidance. This president, his oligarchy and family are shrinking on daily basis before everyone's eyes.

Since the outbreak of this virus affair, the president and his followers of republican politicians, the conservative movement, including many evangelicals branches, mega churches and schools, and the ultra right media, and social networking platforms have all conspired to miseducate, even brainwash rank and file conservatives, and who ever was willing to listen, of how trivial this pandemic is, as a result, many believe it's no big deal, just another form of ordinary flu, it's all a hoax and an organised effort by the liberals to undermine Trump's reign and reelection bid.

The president Oval office address, press talks and exchanges, even his constant tweets that are all meant to calm and reassure the markets, Wall-Street and the citizenry are all failing gravely, they are becoming more awkward and contradictory, prompting members of his administration continually to revise, correct and attempt to explain what was meant,  Lets all wake up and face reality......
