The COVID-19 virus has exposed fundamental flaws in the winner take all Capitalism-backed system in the United States. We are seeing a massive amount of deaths and are having fights about whether we should wear masks. The answer is yes; we should wear a mask when appropriate.

Hello, citizens of the United States and citizens of other countries that have lost the plot. Why does a country exist if not to benefit the people that live in that country? The citizens of a country must obey the rules of the country in which they reside. The social and codified contracts that exist between citizens of a country should benefit the whole and not the few.
