America Is Making Chernobyl Look Well Managed
I was reading this horrifying White House transcript and it’s just bonkers. The President goes on with some crazy nonsense and Republicans go around the room and praise him. The Soviet Politburo was insular and corrupt, but they were at least cunning. This is just dumb.
It immediately made me think of Chernobyl. That was a mess borne of Soviet structural problems, but they at least contained it. Maybe Stalin wouldn't have cared, but Gorbachev actually appointed people that somehow contained the fallout.
America is like Chernobyl with worse management. Over decades, it’s estimated that Chernobyl will have killed 4,000 people. America looks that many people to coronavirus roughly every two days.
But if you read this transcript, that’s not the world they’re living in. Everything is going great. They talk more about salmon and oil than the dead, and more time is spent praising the dear leader than anything else. Honestly, this would put a Soviet Politburo to shame.
Erasing The Dead
Stalin said, “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.”
