One would expect reality to intrude. Companies like making money.
Can't do that if your customers/staff are dead/broke/scared etc.

Not really I was being polite. GoP and Fox do care about money though.
Commenting on particular political entities is probably not appropriate. But we can note that the pandemic has not significantly impacted the bottom line for the rich donor class of folks.

Some donors thanks to corporate bailouts.
Bit some of those donors actually have to sell stuff eg Disney instead of finance/tech.
Are Plutocrats 1 & 2 acceptable terms?

I'm not sure what we can do to prevent that. We have a representative system and they are electing people to represent them that believe the same way they do. That's how people like to vote. That applies to school districts as well, and those districts determine the school curriculums for those areas.
That's the big issue we're fighting. We can and do get the information to them that masks help and the vaccine is a good thing, but their elected leadership that thinks the way that they do is telling them that what we are saying is wrong. It's no surprise that they believe their elected(and trusted) leadership over what the rest of us are saying. Frustrating, but no surprise.
To prevent what's happening now, action needed to be taken a generation ago - those people needed to be armored against irrationality when they were young. You and I cannot fix the "stupid" of today. It is our responsibility to fix the stupid of tomorrow. But that's getting into possible government policy, which really isn't the point of the thread.

Yes, that is the point. Some things that are amusing are not "HaHa" funny. Sometimes they are sad-funny. Sigh.
I think you entirely misunderstood my intent, but I'll leave it at that.
