From Cathy O'Neils article: The political uprising we should have expected
"The aftermath of the coronavirus is likely to include a new political
uprising—an Occupy Wall Street 2.0, but this time much more massive and
angrier. Once the health emergency is over, we will see the extent to
which rich, well-connected and well-resourced communities will have been
taken care of, while contingent, poor and stigmatized communities will
have been thoroughly destroyed. Moreover, we will have seen how
political action is possible—multitrillion dollar bailouts and projects
can be mobilized quickly—but only if the cause is considered urgent.
This mismatch of long-disregarded populations finally getting the
message that their needs are not only chronically unattended, but also
chronically dismissed as politically required, will likely have drastic,
pitchfork consequences."
