"Ресурсы иммунной системы ограниченные, и пока она нацелилась на ковид, другие вирусы шустро вылазят и радуются жизни. Другие осложнения тоже. Это как одеяло перетягивать."

Удивительно, как люди переносят древние идеи 精 на работу иммунной системы. Даже трудно себе представить, о чем тут можно вести содержательный спор.

Date: 2021-08-15 05:54 pm (UTC)For conservatives, individual responsibility is central: democracy provides the “liberty” to pursue your own interests, without any help from others (which would make you dependent and weak) and without any responsibility for others.
This is the exact opposite of the progressive view, perhaps expressed best by Elizabeth Warren. Senator Warren often repeats a central truth that the conservative view misses entirely: democracy is about citizens caring about one another and working through their government to provide public resources that allow freedom for all.
How do public resources create freedom? Consider the business world. It’s hard to run a business without sewers, without roads and bridges and airports, without an electric grid, without satellite communications, the internet, GPS systems, and without healthy and educated employees. The public—you and me and the rest of us over decades—have, through our government, provided all these public resources. The development of computer science depended on government funding, as did the development of the computer chip industry. Our pharmaceutical industry required NIH research funding. In short: the private depends on the public! Without collective investment, Americans would not be free to start, run, and work in businesses.
