Perfect.
Fauci: “It is our collective responsibility to ensure that public health policy decisions are driven by the best available data. Scientists and health workers can do their part by speaking up, including to new and old media sources, to share and explain in plain language the latest scientific findings as well as what remains to be learned.”

Calling something “woke” is just a way to avoid proposing real solutions or doing anything to actually fix problems.
Racism? It’s those “woke” schools and colleges!
Bank failures? “Woke” board policies!
Oppression of LGBTQs? It’s “woke” culture’s fault!
Stay woke, friends.

It bears repeating:
America doesn't have a health CARE system. We have a health INSURANCE system. That ain't the same thing.
When anyone walks in the door, our first question isn't "How can we fix you?", it's "How're you gonna pay for this?"
That's barbaric.
It comes from having profit incentive at the core of our health CARE system. Those two things - profit incentive & health CARE are mutually exclusive propositions. They cannot co-exist.
The inmates are running our health care asylum and killing us because of it.

Social Security ought to be better funded, we all agree. That should come from lifting the cap on those who make more, especially those who make millions a year in income.
Don’t raise the age limit. Raise the cap.
