Why are we paying almost a trillion dollar in taxes if the government can’t get its shit together and we have to rely on mega corporations.

When looking at Wuhan news, everyone is wearing a mask. How did they make that happen for millions of people. Singapore mailed 4 masks per household. South Korea nearly tested every citizen.

Sure China is an authoritarian government but we can’t deny it can do manufacturing and logistical wonders.

The corporate greed and govt incompetence clearly shows when COVID-19 hit us (usa). It will dip our economy way harder than it will hit China.

Could someone share if China is also doing massive stimulus and billions of dollar bailouts?

We are blowing it all on the stupid military when we could have been spending it on cutting edge medical research. We spend trillions blowing stuff up instead of spending trillions searching for ways to improve our health and lives.

This government is run by people that believe mega corporations should pay no tax[1], under the impression that the mega corporations are better suited to fulfill the needs of society.

Will this philosophy survive a pandemic?
