Horserace Horserace Horserace Horserace

More than half of the media coverage is now of course horserace. Will be for the next 11 months.

What is not being covered.

How much ice melted today.
How many acres burned today.
How many Iranians died today from our sanctions.
How many species went extinct today.
How much debt we piled on our children today.
How much overall drug prices went up today.
How many died from lack of medical attention in the US today.
How many good jobs were replaced by low paying jobs today.
How many bees died today that won't be replaced.
How many animals died today that won't be replaced.
How many fish died today that won't be replaced.
How many environmental protections were eliminated today.
How much carbon / methane was emitted today that won't be sequestered.
How much more wealthy the 1% became today while 99% of us went farther into debt or broke even.
How much corporations spent today buying their stocks back.
The list goes on to the vomit stage.

Gotta get some more horserace coverage!!!!

There is a lot the media could be covering.

In a perfect world.....

I say let's count the bodies!
