Kinda like how Trump will never be held accountable by the law for his role in the Covid-19 deaths and all the things he's done. Philosophically, when the law will not redress such criminality, what are 'good men to do'?

Kinda like how Trump will never be held accountable by the law for his role in the Covid-19 deaths... Trump didn't shuttle COVID patients into rest homes. Trump didn't pack grandparents up and move them to run down facilities where the heat barely worked so the rest home could be converted into a COVID hospice center for those juicy Medicaid bucks and federal grants. That was all down to Andrew Cuomo and his biggest campaign donors... Trump did what he could do: Closed the border and made recommendations. He actually "wore the mask" which is more than Pelosi, Newsom, and the Coumos are willing to do. More than Biden is willing to do, despite Biden's EO demanding masks be worn at all times on federal property, Biden and his staff constantly go with out them on federal property. By the way, that's how you properly identify a dictator. They make laws that don't apply to themselves. |

Trump rarely wore a mask (maybe a few times) wore a mask. He demanded that others not wear a mask as well around him and encouraged his supporters not to wear one. He constantly lied and downplayed the threat of the Covid-19. He made wackadoo recommendations on how to treat the virus. Bleach and sunlight into the body anyone remember that? Not only that, but that vaunted surplus of vaccines Trump had? Was a lie as well. Seriously NB, history will not look kindly on Trump for his bungling of Covid-19.

As for those here who revel in schadenfreude (regardless one's political stance), it is unbecoming and distasteful. Schadenfreude is fine when it's someone like Cuomo who needs to be held accountable for his direct and purposeful contribution to the deaths in New York rest homes due to his COVID policy. But he'll never be held accountable by the law. Philosophically, when the law will not redress such criminality, what are 'good men to do'? Philosophically, to me that leads to vigilantism becoming justified. Is that what you are saying? |

Philosophically, to me that leads to vigilantism becoming justified. Is that what you are saying? Philosophically? Yes. There comes a day when the unanswered for crimes of the upper class exceed what the lower class are willing to ignore, on that day Dr. Guillotin's Most Fabulous Machine will be awash with blood. In this case since we already know that Andrew Cuomo won't be punished in any way for this crime, has shown no remorse, and will commit this crime again if given the chance, philosophically, it seems to me he's passed that point. In actuality I know people in New York who are making with the dark mutterings, but they are not the types who have nothing left to lose. How many people lost grandparents in New York and are at the stage where they are weighing their continued freedom versus the continued life of an actually evil man? |

To follow up on my last post:
If our political and economic "betters" had half a wit between them, they would move to stop any infringement on the redditor Vikings that are currently sacking the hedge funds. They would urge all the hedgie managers to go on CNN, MSNBC, etc, to cry like Len Cooperman did.
The schadenfreude that the lower class is eating up right now is assuaging that boiling hate they feel for the 1%, it's "like karma has come to roost" for many of those magical thinkers. Seeing hedge fundies cry, hearing how they're filing for bankruptcy, losing millions, it's soothing a lot of that ill will that the Left and Right have been generating the last four 12 20 years.
This will probably do more to set Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo back a decade than anything else that could be done.
It will also drive a not insignificant portion of the "riot and burn down small businesses because we're ignorant commies who've read the thesis" types to look into raiding hedge funds and other 'not so pure' investor types. Since r/wallstreetbets has done more to redistribute wealth in four days than the commies have done in America in 100 years.
[I'm not an investment broker, my advice is sus as hell]
Oh, and do not invest in Dogecoin. It's a pump and dump. I mean it might stabilize high, but the the guys crying "hold the line" are privately saying to watch and be ready to bail. They're just hoping that the Elon fanbois will hold long enough for them to all get out while it's still high.

Yep. I'm not exactly sure why anyone would think a federal senator would have any impact on a state government's ability to make itself, beyond prior influencing of the federal government to allow building of, nuclear coal and NG power plants. "Green" energy that encouraged building of wind turbines that froze while regulation that prevents building of fossil or nuclear plants, coupled with an infrastructure that is focused on freaking with hurricane, tornado, drought, and flash flood incidents target than a once every other century winter is what caused Texas's current energy situation and there isn't a damn thing Ted Cruz could have done about it. |
