Capitalism demands everything to be a fucking commodity for profits. I hate this type of thinking.

not to sound like a broken record because I’ve posted this before but I’m still a bit stunned at how almost everyone in the US just kind of stopped caring about the virus around the same time. Literally over a million dead and most Americans’ reaction to the virus today is just “shrug oh well.” My friends still give me shit for wearing a mask when I go out. A nation of clowns

For Usonians, “freedumb” comes first before health or safety.

I sold a couple at CVS for $200 a pop when I worked there. Not exaggerating.

Is that two tests for $24? Why tf are they even selling them? Who is going to pay that?

What are you going to do instead? Pay 1,500 to go to a hospital to get a Covid test?

I was thinking more that people just won’t get tested at all.

Some places require tests; border crossings, international flights, certain workplaces can mandate it, certain colleges as well, the elderly and immunocompromised who need to know as soon as possible whether they are infected or not, etc.
