It's a terrible thing that doesn't really affect me at all because society excluded me already.
I don't have a job to go to.
I don't have school to go to.
I don't have like-minded people to hang out with, en masse.
I was locked out of NZ society, already.
I watch the crappy crappy crappy stupid sh*tty choices that our leaders make. I didn't used to be so very very scathing about them -- but years and years and years of being ignored... Then excluded...
How am I supposed to feel?
There is an element of 'I told you so'. That doesn't do anybody any good at all.
I think about the fires in Australia and how there were many people who told the government so. Who begged and campaigned and so on for environmentally sustainable policies. For reductions to polluting industries. They were ignored. Fires raged out of control. Many innocent animals died. I don't suppose 'I told you so' runs off the tongue when it's innocent animals.
Innocent people are dying from CoronaVirus.
I suppose I still think / see that people are profiteering from this. Close the hospitals. Pay increases for the board of directors. For the smarmy head of health guy, here. Pay increases all around.
I wonder what the rebuild will look like.
