Perfect equillibrium

Has my life changed at all this past month? Not even a little. G still works chaotic shifts at the post office and I still marvel at the number of books I own and how sad it makes for everyone else to observe the behavior of truly callous and stupid people. As if it's the first time they notice. So cute.

Fist time?

For every beyond brilliant, focused, devoted and humane genius out there, working tirelessly to invent cures and aid to those in need, there are fucking morons bragging how licking toilets makes them a more influential influencers.

I wonder if going full dystopia on some people would be considered in poor taste? Like, for every moron caught on camera saying rules don't apply to them, and if they had it they would willingly spread it, making them pay a fine like 4000 bucks and serve 400 hours of community service cleaning sewers and if their family got sick and there weren't enough sick beds, the entirety of them would be denied medical care - would that be too cruel?

Would putting those who purposefully spread it and caused someone to die in prison for manslaughter be considered too much?

Would charging a fine everyone caught partying during lockdown to help the economy be considered radical?

then again you have politicians saying: "Those doctors, if it were up to them, they'd lock down the whole world!" Har har, har har. Those stupid doctors. What do they know? This is Muhrika! We don't stop for no virus!

So ye. I am a great believer in harsh and consistent punishment. Callous, vain, flippant attitudes and malicious negligence should be criminal during a pandemic. You can't have triage, leaving very old to die because there isn't enough medicine for the young ones, and "Fuck corona, party on!!" at the same time.

But we do.
Always have.
Always will.
