I expect it goes both ways, honestly. From the bottom (generally left but not exclusively), it's about our health and ability to move about.

From the top, it was always about getting the "Human Resources" back into the "supply chain".

This is another reason I'm opposed to reparations. The Elites, realizing they could no longer enslave people based on melanin, figured out how to enslave practically everyone and make them think they were free.

That system has been broken for a long time. The pandemic just ripped the bandage off the festering wound.

I really wish I'd had teachers like you when I did my time in Public Miseducation... You make me think. they discouraged that at ever opportunity.
