In Pennsylvania, the Republican dominated state legislature was trying to pass laws to open up the state. They were telling everyone it was safe, and that COVID-19 wasn’t a threat.
What they weren’t telling anyone was that at least one of them had already tested positive for the disease. The Republican caucus knew, and they were even doing contact tracing and self-quarantining people that they knew had come in contact with him. Meanwhile, the infected person had been attending legislative sessions and interacting with other lawmakers.
But they didn’t tell any of the Democrats. So for days the Republicans were letting that person interact with Democratic legislators, who were then going home at night to their families.
One of these Democrats exploded in an epic rant. Warning, contains lots of profanity.

Finally, a spokesman for the COVID victimized — and boy, is he eloquent!
I wish I could be this articulate when I’m that mad. He’s right to be furious — and what a good job he does explaining why he’s right to be furious!

Politicians have become prostitutes for Trump and are knowingly spreading a lethal disease, so should be charged with as felons.
Necropoliticians pushing hard for a Necroeconomy to “re-open.”
American corrupt capitalism, in the persons of the GOP, introduces biological warfare into politics.
Ain’t ‘Muikkkan conservatives exceptional?

The Greek god Pluto is lord of both treasure and the dead. So this is a Plutocracy in both senses.
