Steve Schapiro Muhammad Ali, Monopoly, Louisville, KY 1963 It’s funny how things go sometimes, how times roll -not just the good ones-. I said last week that all the world’s “leaders” had failed terribly, and I’m not taking that back. They all failed to a horrific extent at their no. 1 task when it comes to Disasters, Pandemics, whatever their respective governments file these events under: Prevention. But now we’re in a whole new world. Now these failed leaders

Hasui Kawase Mimhae Pavilion, Kyongju, Korea 1940 Earlier today in the March 30 Automatic Earth Debt Rattle aggregator I promised to come back to this. I wrote: Dr. Fauci, Trump’s main medical/epidemic advisor, said yesterday that 200,000 Americans could die from COVID19.

Cuomo went as far as calling such a measure not merely “un-American”, he said it would be “preposterous” and “anti-American”. Obviously, Cuomo is not just of the belief, like most Americans, that a country
