I read that actually and it's pretty comprehensive. The bottom line is that there are imperfect solutions to a unique, staggering problem.

It requires massive federal level coordination which we will not have and which from the outset dooms us to more failure than we would need to face otherwise. Sad. Very sad.

Beyond that fundamental truth, it will require all of us to accept solutions that we will not like in some or other rubric. Maybe too many poor/lower class workers are being left to die. Maybe there is too much risk (one can always choose to stay home if he is afraid, though I realize not 100% if everyone else is out working).

What's unacceptable (to me) is that there is not enough being done to provide the resources to get to the best possible imperfect solution that leaders and citizens decide they want.

Result: We won't do anything remotely like what is suggested and fuck ourselves in the process -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 13:54 3
- You are correct. It will be a question of who we fuck. -- nm - JackDawson Apr 13, 13:55 2
  - I'm pretty sure it will fuck everyone. Just in different ways and proportions. -- nm - pmb Apr 13, 14:04 1
    - Sure, but the devil is in the detail of the proportions. One easily identifiable group is clearly getting fucked way more right now. -- nm - JackDawson Apr 13, 14:07
