The Coronavirus Pandemic Demonstrates the Failures of Capitalism

One of the benefits of the universal medical system is that private doctors in their own clinical settings can shift fairly seamlessly into other areas that need their assistance and so they can still provide services they can bill for although admittedly some will make less because the work being done is at a lower per hour code than the services they would normally perform.

In cases like this, it would be the only way those doctors' private offices would stay open, because non-essential medical has been stopped for the time being.

But how does that help the wealthy?

It is a failing I fully acknowledge.  But joking aside, doctors here earn more than enough to put them within the top 1% in Canada by a wide margin.

Not the doctors. The CEOs and boards of directors. You know, job creators. Without them we wouldn't have any hospitals at all.

Hilarious. I'm glad we have another person trying this shtick.

If it bothers you so much you should have voted for Bernie

I don't see how that would have stopped the joke complaints unless one believes that Bernie would actually be capable of dismantling capitalism.

It's an all-too-accurate parody of supply sider rhetoric.
