a virus “hurt” and scared capitalists far more than some planes did; war is profit, pandemic is not.

The pandemic frightened the status quo because for the first time in decades the working masses were forced to pause their grind and consider how we live. And the vast majority of people realized they absolutely hate it.
Which is why "the money" immediately began pushing to crack the whip ASAP to get people back in line, back producing surplus value, and back focused only on the myopic necessities of now.
The pandemic should have been a watershed moment for Labor, and maybe it was- but the Trump administration is actively imploding the economy on all sides now, so there's very little hope for economic upturn in the next few years. We are in a dark time.

complete agreement here; sad times indeed.

that can't be true since then they'd do more to prevent future pandemics no?
-
would “they”? I mean eventually a pandemic becomes profitable by proxy; a thinned and sick labor pool with shit healthcare (USA) will work for a fraction of what they would before, just to not end up homeless or worse.

Traumatic event > emotion > propagandized media response > wealth being funneled towards capitalists
Y'all need the get on the sigma grindset, when tragedy strikes, don't get sad, don't emotionally process, just figure out how you can use it to manipulate people and make money
