'It's discouraging for dairy farmers:' Coronavirus' economic impact on Wisconsin

With the first case of coronavirus confirmed in Wisconsin, the impacts could extend further than just health.

This is capitalism's vast irrationality and inhumanity in action. Markets and The Economy™ matter more to capitalism than the concrete distribution of resources according to tangible human need.

Resources exist in abundance -- give them to people. Housing sits empty -- give it to people. The rules of the feast table should apply to our economic system -- no one gets seconds until everyone has gotten a plate.

We stand at a crossroads in these chaotic times: socialism or barbarism! The ruling class repeatedly chooses the latter. We need to organize and choose the former!

Life is worth it. It might have its worth hidden in small corners where you wouldn't look for it. You can find it in a book, a poem, a painting, a song. You can find meaning again in a stranger's kind actions, you can find it by being kind to a stranger because you have the meaning to do so. It is hidden in conversations you have with the ones you love, in between messages that convey how much they care for you while you allow yourself to be loved. You can pick up a hobby and find your life's meaning in it. You can find hope in a child playing with their toys. You can find meaning by helping an animal, your community, by connecting with nature and society again. It's in the little things. Don't wait around for an epiphany, a miracle or a revolutionary act. You have to search for them on the smaller things, on life's details, on living the present moment instead of thinking about living it. Then, you will see something that makes your day and allows you to keep going. Then, you hold on to life with all your heart. Hold on.
