“While the Senate goes on break during a deadly pandemic, they're telling us peasants to go back to work, because the billionaires need more billions.

"There have been as many plagues as wars in history; yet always plagues and wars take people equally by surprise. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves. In this respect our townsfolk were like everybody else, wrapped up in themselves; in other words they were human: they did not believe in plagues."
Albert Camus, The Plague
"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."
John Milton, Paradise Lost
