If you think after
Coronavirus,
corporations
will stop
exploiting
workers,
will stop
trashing
the world,
will stop
supporting
wars,
will stop
buying
elections,
will start
paying
taxes,
you’re living
in a parallel
universe.

Politicians
and journalists
always demand to
know, and then
reject, the cost of
measures to conserve
the environment.
But neither ever
ask the cost
of war.
Nothing is
certain in
this world
except death,
taxes, and the
absolute
certainty that
when things
seem to be
going well,
somewhere
on the planet,
religion will
bugger it up.
I think it odd that
in 2019 it
seems to never
be the right
time to discuss
gun violence or
climate change, but
never the wrong
time to discuss tax cuts
for the very rich.
