NP: Noam Chomsky on Corona, Neoliberalism, Trump etc.

[Jochen Stremmel]

as far as I see (which is not very far as I readily concede but farther
(further?) as some) there's only one aspect to the Chomsky quote that might
prove him wrong: that this catastrophe will lead to another, less profit
oriented health care system, because it (the catastrophe) shows the
injustice of it especially in the civilized nations as your and Noam's and
my and Thomas's countries. Beware of the dead on our streets.
