The problem is that flat earthers aren’t saying “alright apparently the earth is a sphere but whatever I couldn’t care less” treating a spherical earth like I treat relativity. yeah it’s a thing but it’s always negligible so I don’t care I don’t go to a conference that says “time is sacred, they just want you to think it’s relative”

They’re saying “alright this guy says the earth is round, so I know he’s a dumbass, and a shill, and they can’t be trusted because they’re clearly part of the system” Most of them are treating any spherical earth people like kamala voters are treating trump voters.

I was half expecting a ton of upvotes and no comments.

I mean, yeah, but we aren’t doing much to prepare. With covid we had mask shortages, ventilator shortages, with a for profit Healthcare system the incentives to have more than you need are low. Even now a hurricane has given us an IV fluid shortage because it’s all built in one place.

I know we’re paying attention to emerging viruses but when it finally happens are we just gonna watch a train wreck in slow motion? You think this doge committee is going to maintain that?

How come nobody wanted to talk about that during the election? What did we learn from covid and how should we react next time?

I was literally just thinking that.

If we get ANOTHER pandemic after putting absolutely no effort in improving world healthcare… God that’d be so depressing.
