[EdG Note: I am not a lawyer and don't play one on TV. I have a bit of legal experience representing myself in business disputes and I worked briefly as a paralegal.

The horrific explosion of COVID-19 cases and deaths that has crossed the United States is in significant ways a product of an economic system, capitalism, that was unprepared for it as it should have been, and was unable to contain it as it should have been.

How is this possible?
Over and over and over again the the headlines made it clear that the US had stopped the evil Russians from completing the gas pipeline to Germany.
