what are bezos and the rest of the sociopath billionaire class doing to help or are they retiring to their yachts / bunkers until this all resolves itself?

You know, expropriation of wealth and assets of the Anne Widdecomb, Piers Morgan, Hatey Chopkins set and re-nationalisation of everything from pharma to health companies that you rely on in a crisis.

Hancock asking UK businesses to suddenly materialise ventilators out of thin air after the manufacturing industry has been run down to fuck and Trump suddenly trying to poach exclusive access to vaccines when it's a German state-subsidised company is just ramming home how unbalanced our neoliberal oriented economies are.

starting to get a tickle in my throat. a bit wheezy... will have a tug and a cuppa and monitor the situation by asking myself what George would do.
