A Tale Of Two Worlds



From Ezra Klein at WaPo:
"Dana Gould reports from the tea parties and the free care clinic and finds something odd: The people at the tea parties are screaming and angry and furious about bad things that aren't happening to other people in some future universe. The people lined up at 4 a.m. outside the free care clinic are resigned and polite and measured about horrible things that actually are happening. To them. Right now."

TW: This LA clinic was not just a publicity stunt, these clinics role through parts of American like some third world nation, like I said we are less different than the developing world than we would like to think.

Here is another article on the event from NYT:
