I cannot emphasize this enough: the correct response is to bring these firms under #public control so that we can mobilize investment — of *our* surplus, remember — toward achieving democratically ratified #social & #ecological objectives.

locals v tourists - u.s. state of nevada
(who pays for community services when the state as no income tax?)
"Nevada Economy: #Nevada does not assess a personal income #tax on its residents. Government services are funded by revenue sources that include [ #gambling ] taxes, #salesTaxes, motor vehicle #taxes and a variety of direct and indirect taxes on businesses. Nevada is #funded substantially by #federal grants and contracts. Nevada has offered a connuous legal market for [gambling] since 1935, which imposes taxes to finance a share of #public #services Nevada’s major industries today are #tourism and #hospitality, gambling, mining, science and technology services, health and social services, construcon, and retail trade. Job growth, taxable sales, the unemployment rate, and gaming [taxable profit] serve as indicators to assess the health of Nevada's economy. Other economic indicators used include Las Vegas and Reno visitor volume and room-occupancy rates."

I'm still going to try to keep from posting about politics in general, but I'll make an exception for matters of #medicine and #public #health. Not only is it of course a subject near and dear to my heart, in the big picture it may well be the most vital issue of our time, and of any time.
#Infectious #disease taken as a whole has killed more people throughout history than any other cause of death, and it's not even a particularly close race. Most people living today have never experienced a world without #vaccines and #antibiotics. We have forgotten the terror carried by even the whisper of plague. #AIDS and #covid, terrible as they were and remain, are the merest echoes of the horseman's hoofbeats. This is a *good thing*.
We're about to learn again. Monarez and many other dedicated people at the #CDC did their best to keep that memory buried in the past, and it wasn't enough. Dedicated traitors to humanity have dug it up and brought it back to life, to shamble through our streets rotting and stinking and hungry for living flesh.
But maybe she'll at least get to go on record telling the alleged people who enabled this horror exactly what they've done. Every disaster movie begins with ... you know the rest. Future historians will remember that not everyone was complicit, if there's any such thing as history at all.
