>" With the rise of COVID-19, the fetishization of all things “safe” is now the new normal and imbalances of power are becoming more apparent. Take, for example, Madonna, sitting in a bathtub full of roses on IG declaring the Coronavirus as the “great equalizer” verses the fact that thousands of prisoners in New York State have been forced to make hand sanitizer while being prevented from using it to protect themselves because the alcohol content is considered contraband.

How can they make them produce hand sanitizer then prevent them from accessing it? Anyway, that's why they are called prisoners. But I don't think it's fair. Stay home, stay safe

The prison industrial complex is never fair. Which is why we should abolish it.

Partially so. For me it was never about this idea of being kept safe. Do those same sanitation workers have access to proper healthcare in the spaces they clean? Can medical workers perpetuate eugenist ideas by turning away certain people from proper COVID-19 testing? In the West, our systems of health and safety have a lot do with power, labor, and consumption. That’s why there are so many disparities in things like health, education, and justice. In reference to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I was thinking about how basic human needs can be provided without people having to prove their humanity to access to care.

The idea of the shoemaker without shoes is taken to extreme lengths in this system.

/ It must be surreal to see everyone signing off verbal and written communication with “Stay Safe. ” I get the sense that there is a loss of meaning in the overused phrase.

“Awesome” is NOT an awesome comment. “Nice” is NOT a nice addition to the dialogue. “Interesting” is NOT usually interesting to others. “Wow” will NOT wow anyone. “Good” is usually a BAD response. “Upvote” is a quick path to a DOWN vote. On the Relevant platform you can earn REL Coins form upvoting and betting on RELEVANT content (see it’s right in the name). There is no benefit to posting irrelevant comments. They are a nuisance. If you think an article or comment is valuable, upvote it, but do not post anything unless it is genuinely going to add real value to the dialogue. TLDR Version DO: Upvote and bet/stake on RELEVANT CONTENT Downvote all irrelevant spam DO NOT: Post in the wrong community Post irrelevant content Post short, superficial, responses Post airdrops, scams, etc Troll for upvotes
