I mean… easiest way to tackle this is to name the novel and let us judge.

In all seriousness though. Going viral has precious little to do with quality. It all boils down to luck. I do cosplay, I have a set of LED eyes that I have full control over, I can emote so well I put a vtuber to shame, and this is real life before your eyes. I’ll run around as the black mage from ff1

Took 5 years to go viral on Twitter and get an article written on adafruit. Go to any con and you’ll see comics and books trying to sell out of booths. Have you ever purchased one on a whim? Or do you just walk by?

Probably low. Hatred of health insurance is bipartisan. He probably thinks that Trump is more populist than democrats (which is wrong) and that he’s more likely to rein them in (also wrong. They’re tied with democrats and a snowballs chance in hell)

Even Ben Shapiro is getting raked over the coals for sympathizing.

I mean, yeah, but we aren’t doing much to prepare. With covid we had mask shortages, ventilator shortages, with a for profit Healthcare system the incentives to have more than you need are low. Even now a hurricane has given us an IV fluid shortage because it’s all built in one place.

I know we’re paying attention to emerging viruses but when it finally happens are we just gonna watch a train wreck in slow motion? You think this doge committee is going to maintain that?

How come nobody wanted to talk about that during the election? What did we learn from covid and how should we react next time?

I was literally just thinking that.

If we get ANOTHER pandemic after putting absolutely no effort in improving world healthcare… God that’d be so depressing.
