(原标题:醒醒吧!美国女媒体人发视频怒批政府:疫情已经暴露出我们有多差劲!)
死亡病例超过8.9万,确诊病例超过148万......美国疫情数据“稳居”第一,特朗普政府不但没有进行反思,却一直夸耀自己的检测如何领先,同时忙着甩锅他国!面对美国政府这种自大傲慢的态度,美国媒体人Rania Khalek实在坐不住了。 她在推特上发布了一段6分钟的视频怒批美国政府、体制和政党,称美国在应对疫情上的失败怪不了别人,是美国治理的失败导致现在的局面。
...thanks to coronavirus, Americans just found out what the rest of the world already knew long ago: we suck!
While our government was running around destroying nations in the name of nation building, it turns out we were becoming a 3rd world country.
我们糟糕的检测,比中国政府要慢得多的反应; 当民众在遭受痛苦时,仍在赚钱的精英和公司; 一种从上到下的反科学文化; 空虚且昂贵的医疗卫生系统; 媒体轻视病毒的严重性,还鼓励人们聚集,把数百万人的生命置于危险境地。
然而,Rania却一针见血地指出:那些并不是美国表现得像个失败的国家的理由,美国治理的失败才是美国看起来如此失败的原因!
Chinese,Russian and Iranian "disinformation" isn't the reason America looks like a failed state.The failure of American governance is the reason America looks like a failed state.
在过去的六周里,超过3000万人失去了工作; 道琼斯和标准普尔正见证着从1987年以来最“好”的一个月; 在美国,每10个人中就有一名没有薪水; 许多失去工作的人也失去了健康保险; 排着长队领取食物的景象已经成为常态; ......
The response to COVID-19 has exposed our weaknesses and the sheer cruelty of our system.
But the American social safety net and health care system were already broken because democrats are neoliberal capitalist extremists. While republicans are a step further: the ISIS of neoliberal corruption.
That's how we got here. An alarming new milestone right here in America.
我们是唯一一个发达国家拒绝尽力去帮助人们存活的; 经济因为封城而崩溃了,但华尔街的投资者却莫名其妙地变得更富了; 我们也是唯一一个发达国家放宽了封城限制和保持社交距离的措施,明知死亡人数一直在增长; 与此同时我们还阻止了安理会全球停战的解决方案......
A healthy democracy would be capable of introspection.But we are neither healthy nor a real democracy it seems, always blaming others for our problems......politicians and corporate media elites who make us dumber and then point the finger at foreigners.
The coronavirus has exposed just how unexceptional we are. Or maybe we are exceptional, but not in the way we think.
