They stopped counting deaths. So I'd assume that has something to do with the slow erosion of public health safety regulations during COVID. They've been trying to sweep it under the rug since the start of the year I think.
If anything could be proof that US capitalism is a death cult, it would be the US COVID response. Just the amount of absolute disdain for human life, and people literally saying millions dying is a small sacrifice to pay for "freedom" (Meaning; Being able to go to the Applebee's and not being told to wear a mask). The amount of indoctrination and propaganda you have to be fed to believe that your "freedom" to do whatever the fuck you want is more important than someone else's life is just nuts. I don't want to hear anything at all from libs and conservatives about how people are brainwashed in socialist countries when we have to put up with this.
