It’s called #Capitalism.

You must be new...

Oh god, 2,500 people? That's terrible!

Oh, wait, you mean 2,500 proles? Oh well, whatever. Plenty more where that came from.

Oh yeah, vote blue in 2022!

"How can you normalize mass death?" as if every history text book isn't crammed with the death tolls in the millions of the countries of our "enemies"

Millions of dead proles at home and abroad.

The people running the US are incredibly comfortable with mass death. AIDS kills 13,000 people in the US every year. Opioid overdoses killed 50,000 people in 2019. Motor vehicle crashes kill 32,000 people every year and injure 2 million more.

In another stunning example of saying the quiet part out loud, Trump put the bourgeois mindset rather succinctly:

"[Y]ou look at automobile accidents, which are far greater than any numbers we're talking about. That doesn't mean we're going to tell everybody, 'No more driving of cars.' So we have to do things to get our country open."

They don't care how many working people die. What matters is that they keep working until they die. Gotta keep that money flowing.
