In the days before air bags; when strong chassis added to an out-of-the-car experience: everyone knew that shit happens — they just didn’t say “shit” in public. Now, with all the power of a flaking metallic, V-8 powered, pyroclastic cloud of an “aircraft carrier” [with 85,000 miles on the odometer] it’s time for Seniors to roar back. You don’t have to say “shit” to do shit.
The rhythm of the sticker message brings back a song from the 60s; and like the song; all we’re getting is “disrespect.”
State and County vaccination data is only displayed in terms of “race” and “ethnicity” — and yet New York’s elderly is a minority group that comprises 85% of state’s COVID deaths —— why won’t they show age related data for deaths and vaccinations? Because they’re not supposed to.
Corruption doesn’t have to be about money; it can be about power — New York State’s corrupt power brokering relies on control of the people; and that requires a program of omission, revision, or suppression of all conflicting information. Wouldn’t you like to see the memos that instruct public employees to do this?
Corruption and evil do not grow and thrive in the light of disclosure and exposure — they scheme for non-disclosure and the reimagined righteousness of self-interest.
“Equitable” policy is a denial of human worth. It’s a proclamation by the rich and powerful that they will now decide who you are and what you can be. You disagree? Let’s debate it in the revealing light of Full Disclosure and Full Exposure: if there was nothing to hide; it wouldn’t be secret.
This series of bumper stickers will tie into a number of themes in the book. I use COVID-19 pandemic as a social tool; an acid test that can reveal more by what it doesn’t affect then what it does. It reveals a glaring lack of compassion in a state whose governor places political doctrine and self-serving policy making above human worth.
In his daily executive updates; Cuomo always has a phrase — never featured; just a tag-line to a bunch of statistics.
“Sadly, we lost 57 New Yorkers to the virus.” “Sadly, we lost 61 New Yorkers to the virus.” “Sadly, we lost 49 New Yorkers to the virus.” New York’s unidentified elderly.
No more important than dripping faucet. An annoying background noise to the political agenda that eventually gets shut out by the brain.
I started to add them up. 6,047 since January 13th — 6,047 Human Beings. Maybe 6,100 by tomorrow. Drip . . . drip . . . drip . . .
This poem is dedicated to the Autocrats who run our lives, those who aspire to that position, and those live off the scraps. You don’t believe it? When’s the last time you were ever asked [or allowed] to have any meaningful participation in policy making?
