No one stops at stop signs any more but I never see a traffic cop make a stop. I finally pulled a cop over to ask him what the heck? He explained that they had to prioritize guarding schools. The world is still round and everything is connected. We could hire more police. We could hire better police. We could also elect Representatives that would vote to tax the rich to pay for it. Speaking of, if we in Washington state vote for an income tax could we get Bill Gates to pay a fair share? Bezos has already moved to Florida. Greedy bastard.

So . . . the rich can armor their limos, hire weaponized guards, shelter their vast wealth in the tropics, travel aboard luxo-yachts, moor at safer enclaves, build bomb shelters out of derelict ex-atomic missile silos on the Plains, gate their communities, and fly to other planets someday.

Meanwhile, in the Midwest, Hispanic meat packers (at the start of the Trump-Flu) in 2020, not only had to work in charnel houses, they had to, on occasion, up and die. Thereby providing a source of gambling and amusement for White management's lottery-of-death (who'd die next? Jose or Pepe?) and on-site, racialized entertainment.

What we have here is an Abomi-Nation.
