I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

For the first time in human civilization almost our entire species focused in on one task and overall succeed.

Except we didn't. COVID is endemic, and it never needed to be if not for a gaggle of shithead capitalists demanding the gears of the economy be greased in the blood and sputum of "essential workers".

I never said we avoided everything, but regardless what are you saying? I'm wrong? I'm just sharing one thing that we can all relate to that makes me hopeful. I even said that it might not be for you. It takes a real immature and sinical person to say your wrong for finding hope.

If you're gonna insult a person, at least fuckin spell the word correctly. And a pandemic going endemic in a nation that had prior, eradicated a couple pernicious viruses before through both strength of medicine and actual social cohesiveness, is an abject failure.

tl;dr You're not just wrong, you're either dangerously wrong through this toxic positivity nonsense, or actively washing your hands in the blood of those who died to this virus like "didn't happen to me tho, so we beat it; score!"

I don't know which disgusts me more.
