Why are these people smiling?
They know a secret. You hear them saying how it’s time for us to put aside our silly fears about getting sick and dying and make this country rich again!
They say people may get sick and die but that’s ok if it moves the economy in the right direction.
They say people’s lives are simply the price we must pay for a booming economy right now.
That’s sort of a hard thing to say.
If so, why are they smiling?
It’s the secret. That makes them smile. What’s the secret?
The secret is, they have zero intention of putting themselves, their families, or anyone else they care about at risk.
The people who must risk their lives are the unwashed masses.
In other words, us.
The politicians want us to risk it all so that they can stay in power. No matter the cost.
They don’t care. Maybe they did once, but they don’t now.
You’re nothing more than a number to any one of the smiling people.
See, the secret is, they get to live and prosper regardless of the plight of the rest of us.
Guess I’d be smiling too.
