If it proves nothing else, this pandemic has demonstrated that people aren't really dying from sickness, they're actually dying because there's not enough dollars, and people refuse to work together without dollars being involved.

We could be making enough masks and ventilators. We could be graduating doctors, training nurses, building hospitals. We could be doing the work necessary to cure this virus (and every other disease...) free of the chains of patents, business strategies like artificial scarcity, intentional overcomplication of claims systems, and patient gouging.

But this situation makes it clear, there are many people who won't work together unless they get dollars for it, even if it saves their own lives later on down the road.
