NaNicolas JS Davies, Kurume 27, 2020

United States yave iri itsva centre ye global coronavirus denda, ine anopfuura makumi masere ezviitiko, zvinopfuura China kana Italy. Vanopfuura chiuru vekuAmerican vakatofa, asi ichi ndicho chokwadi kutanga kwekukonana kunouraya pakati peUS zvisina kukwana hutano hweveruzhinji system uye dambudziko chairo.

Kune rimwe divi, China neSouth Korea, idzo mbiri dzine hutano hweveruzhinji hunovhara huwandu hwezvido zvevanhu vavo, dzakatoshandura mafambiro eCovid-19 kuburikidza nekwavagara kwakanangwa, kuunganidzwa kwehupfumi hweveruzhinji zviwanikwa uye zvirongwa zvekuyedza zvinokurumidza uye kunyatsoongorora munhu wese angave akasangana nehutachiona. China yakatumira 40,000 vanachiremba nevashandi vezvekurapa, kusanganisira zviuru gumi zvekufema, kupinda mudunhu reHubei mumwedzi wekutanga kana maviri echirwere. Ikozvino yakakwira kusvika kumazuva matatu akateedzana pasina matsva matsva uye iri kutanga kusimudzira kurambidzwa kwevanhu. South Korea yakakurumidza kuyedza pamusoro 300,000 vanhu, uye chete 139 yevanhu vayo vakafa. 

WHO yaBruce Aylward yakashanyira China pakupera kwaFebruary, uye Zvinonzi, "Ini ndinofunga kiyi yekudzidza kubva kuChina inomhanya… Iyo inokurumidza iwe kuwana mhaka, kupatsanura makesi, uye nekuteedzera avo vepedyo vokukurukura, iwe unonyanya kubudirira iwe uchave uri ... MuChina, ivo vakagadzira hofori network yefivha zvipatara. Mune dzimwe nzvimbo, timu inogona kuenda kwauri ikakushandisa uye ine mhinduro kwauri mumaawa mana kusvika manomwe. Asi iwe unofanirwa kuseta - kumhanyisa ndizvo zvese. ”

Vatsvagiri muItaly vakaedza kuyedza izvo kusvika 3 kunze kwe4 Covid-19 makesi haana chiratidzo uye nekudaro haaonekwe nekuyedza chete vanhu vane zviratidzo. Mushure mekuteedzana kwenzira dzinouraya, iyo US, yaive neyayo nyaya yekutanga muna Ndira 20th, zuva rimwe chete seSouth Korea, rave nemwedzi miviri gare gare rakangotanga kuyedzwa kwakawanda, apo isu tatova nezviitiko zvakawanda uye wechitanhatu wepamusoro wekufa munyika. Kunyangwe izvozvi, iyo US iri kunyanya kudzikisira kuyedza kune vanhu vane zviratidzo, isingaite iyo yakanangwa kuyedzwa kweava nyowani makesi vaibudirira muChina. Izvi zvinovimbisa kuti neimwe nzira hutano, asymptomatic carriers vanozoparadzira hutachiona nekusaziva uye vanoramba vachiwedzera kukura kwayo.

Saka nei United States isingakwanise kutarisana nedenda iri nenzira kwayo kana zvinobudirira seChina, South Korea, Germany kana dzimwe nyika? Kushaikwa kwenyika, yakabhadharwa pachena nehurongwa hwepasi rose hutano hwakakosha kushomeka. Asi kuramba kwedu kusakwanisa kumisikidza pachako ndiko kukonzeresa kwehumwe hunhu hwenzanga yeAmerica, kusanganisira huwori hwezvematongerwo enyika nevekutengesa vane simba uye zvido zvevadzidzi uye neAmerican "yakasarudzika" inotipofomadza kune zvatinogona kudzidza kubva kune dzimwe nyika . 

Zvakare, kutora kwemauto kwepfungwa dzeAmerica kwakadzora maAmerican pfungwa dzakasimba dzechiuto nezve "chengetedzo" uye "chengetedzo," zvichikanganisa mashandisirwo emubatanidzwa emubatanidzwa mukufarira kwehondo nehondo muchibhadharo chezvese zvinodiwa nenyika yedu, kusanganisira hutano yevaAmerica.

Sei tisingakwanise kungobhomba hutachiona?

Chokwadi uyu mubvunzo hauna musoro. Asi aya ndiwo mapinduriro anoita vatungamiriri veUS panjodzi dzese dzatinotarisana nadzo, nekutsauka kukuru kwezviwanikwa zvedu zvemunyika kumuzinda wemauto nemaindasitiri (MIC) izvo zvinosiya ino nyika yakapfuma ine nzara yekugadzirisa matambudziko vatungamiriri vedu vasingakwanise kunyepedzera kugadzirisa nawo zvombo nehondo. Zvichienderana nezvinoverengerwa se "yekudzivirira" kushandisa, zvinoverengera kusvika maviri-matatu of federal discretionary kushandisa. Kunyangwe ikozvino, chikwereti cheBooing, iyo 2nd yakakura Vagadziri vezvombo veUS, vakanyanya kukosha kuna VaTrump uye vazhinji muCongress pane kubatsira mhuri dzeAmerica kupinda mudambudziko iri.

Pakapera Hondo Yemashoko muna 1989, vakuru vakuru vakaudza Seneti Budget Committee kuti bhajeti rehondo reUS rinogona kuve rakachengeteka kudonhwa ne50% pamusoro pemakore gumi anotevera. Sachigaro wekomiti Jim Sasser akarumbidza nguva iyi se "kutanga kwekutanga kwehupfumi hwenyika." Asi pakazosvika 2000, simba remauto nemaindasitiri rakanga radzikisira "runyararo runyararo" kungori a 22% kuderedza mukushandiswa kwemauto kubva ku1990 (mushure mekugadziridza inflation). 

Zvadaro, muna 2001, mauto-maindasitiri maofesi akabata mhosva yezana idzva nevakuru gumi nevaviri vechidiki veSaudi vane zvombo chete nevateki vemabhokisi kuti vatange hondo itsva most expensive Mauto eUS anovaka kubva Hondo Yenyika yechipiri. Semunhu aimbova mukuru weNuremberg mhosva yemuchuchisi Benjamin Ferencz akati panguva iyoyo, iyi yanga isiri mhinduro yepamutemo kumhosva dzaGunyana 11. "Haisati iri mhinduro yepamutemo yekuranga vanhu vasina mhosva yezvakaipa zvakaitwa," Ferencz akaudza NPR. "Kana ukangotsiva vanhu vazhinji nekubhomba Afghanistan, ngatitii, kana vaTaliban, muchauraya vanhu vazhinji vasingatenderi zvakaitika."  

Kunyangwe paine kusarudzika, kukundikana kweropa kweinonzi "Hondo Yepasi Pose Nekutyisa," mukana wemauto-kuvaka-kwakashanda kuratidza kuti vachiri kukunda muhondo yebhajeti muWashington. Mushure mekugadzirisa inflation, iyo 2020 US mauto bhajeti iri 59% yakakwira kupfuura muna 2000, uye 23% yakakwirira kupfuura zvayakaita muna 1990. 

Kwemakore makumi maviri apfuura (mumadhora makumi maviri), iyo US yakagovera $ 4.7 tiririyoni zvakawanda kuPentagon pane dai yakange yango chengetedza bhajeti yayo padanho rimwechete kubvira 2000. Kunyangwe pakati pa1998 na2010, sezvakanyorwa naCarl Conetta pepa rake, Kudzivirirwa Kusina Kuitwa: Kunzwisisa iyo $ 2 Trillion Surge muUS Kuchengetedza Kuchengetedza, mari chaiyo yekushandisa muhondo yakafananidzwa dhora remadhora neasina kuwedzerwa mari yemauto, kunyanya yakawedzerwa mari yekutenga zvinhu kuvandudza nekutenga zvakanyanya anodhura ehondo itsva kune maNavy, mabhajeti-anopenga mabhiza ehondo senge F-35 murwi YeMweya Wemuchadenga, uye chishuwo-rondedzero yezvombo zvitsva nemidziyo yebazi rega rega remauto. 

Kubva 2010, kushandurwa uku kusati kwamboitika kwezvinhu zvedu zviwanikwa kune vemauto-maindasitiri ekushambadzira kwakawedzera kushandisa chaiko kwehondo kunyangwe mberi. Obama akashandisa zvimwe pachiuto kupfuura Bush, uye ikozvino Trump iri kushandisa zvakatowanda. Pamusoro pe $ 4.7 tiririyoni mune imwezve Pentagon kushandisa, Hondo dzeUS uye zvechiuto zvakadhura $ 1.3 trillion zvimwe yeVeterans Affairs kubvira 2000 (zvakare yakagadziridzwa kune inflation), sevanhu vekuAmerican vanofungidzira kuti vanodzoka kumba kubva kuhondo dzeAmerica dzichida mazinga ekurapwa ayo US asina kupa vanhu vayo. 

Mari iyoyo yose yaenda zvino, sekunge zvaunganidzwa pane imwe nzvimbo muAfghanistan uye yakatsvairwa nevashoma 80,000 mabhomba iyo US yakadonha pamusoro peiyo nyika isina kusimba kubva muna 2001. Saka isu hatina mari yekushandisa muzvipatara zveveruzhinji, mavoilator, kudzidziswa zvekurapa, bvunzo dzeCovid-19 kana chero zvinhu zvatinoda zvakanyanya munhamo iyi isiri yemauto.

IUS $ 6 trillion yakaparadzwa zvachose - kana zvakanyanya. Hondo yekutyisa haina kukunda kana kupedza hugandanga. Izvo zvinongokuchidzira kusingaperi kwemhirizhonga uye mhirizhonga pasirese. Muchina wehondo weUS waparadza nyika nenyika: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Siria, Yemen - asi haina kuzombovaka kana kuunza rugare kune chero wavo. Zvichakadaro, Russia neChina vakavaka dziviriro inoshanda yezana ramakumi maviri nenomwe kumarudzi eAmerica chinyakare chehondo muchina pane chidimbu chidiki chemutengo wayo.

Sezvo nyika dzakatenderedza pasirese dzakatarisana nenjodzi yakajairika yeCovid-19, pamwe kupindura kwakanyanya kwese kwave danho rehurumende yeUS kumanikidza zvimwe zvirango zvehutsinye paIran, imwe yenyika dzakanyanya kurova, uye yatotorerwa mishonga yekuponesa hupenyu uye nezvimwe zviwanikwa nezvirango zveUS zviripo. 

Secretary General weUN, Antonio Guterres akadaidzira pakarepo kumisa moto muhondo dzese panguva yedambudziko iri, uye neUS kusimudzira masanctions anouraya pane vese vavakidzani vedu pasi rese. Izvo zvinofanirwa kusanganisira Iran; Mawodzanyemba Koriya; Sudhani; Siriya; Vhenezwera; Zimbabwe; uye kwete Cuba, iri kutamba neushingi uye nekushinga basa kurwisa denda, kununura vapfuuri yechikepe cheBritish chekufamba nechikepe chakarambidzwa kupinda neUS nedzimwe nyika, uye kutumira zvikwata zvekurapa kuItari nedzimwe nyika dzakatapukirwa pasi rese.

Iyo 21st Century Command Economy

Iyo "yekuraira hupfumi" raive izwi rinoseka rinoshandiswa kushoropodza hupfumi hwakarongwa pakati peEastern Europe panguva yeCold War. Asi nyanzvi yezvehupfumi Eric Schutz akashandisa iyo 21st Century Command Ehupfumi sechidimbu chebhuku rake ra2001 Maraki uye Simba, mukati maakaongorora mhedzisiro yesimba rakakura remusika wemasangano mazhinji anoshanda pane imwe hupfumi hweUS. 

Sekutsanangura kwakaita Schutz, neoliberal (kana neoclassical) dzidziso yezvehupfumi inofuratira chinhu chakakosha mumisika "yemahara" chizvarwa chevaAmerican chakadzidziswa kuremekedza. Izvi zvinofuratirwa ndizvo simba. Sezvo zvinowanda zvehupenyu hweAmerica zvakapihwa kungano "isingaonekwe ruoko" yemusika, vatambi vane simba mumusika wese vakasununguka kushandisa yavo musika simba kutarisisa hupfumi uye kunyangwe rakakura musika simba mune yavo (kwete zvakadaro zvisingaonekwe ) maoko, kutyaira vakwikwidzi vadiki kubva mubhizinesi uye kushandisa vamwe vanobatika: vatengi; vashandi; vanotengesa; hurumende; uye nharaunda dzemunharaunda.

Kubva 1980, zvese zvikamu zvehupfumi hweUS zvave zvishoma nezvishoma zvichitorwa nemasangano mashoma uye mashoma uye makuru, aine fungidziro inokanganisa pahupenyu hweAmerica: mashoma mikana yebhizinesi diki; kuderedza kudyara muzvivakwa zvevanhu pamwe nemabasa. kuderera kana mubairo wakamira; kukwira mitero; kuvandudzwa kwefundo uye hutano; kuparadzwa kwenharaunda dzenharaunda; uye huori hwakarongeka hwezvematongerwo enyika. Chisarudzo chakakomba chinobata hupenyu hwedu hwese zvino chaitwa kunyanya pakuda kubhidha uye mukuda kwemabhangi makuru, pharma huru, tech huru, hombe ag, makuru ekuvandudza, uto-indasitiri tata uye wehupfumi 1% yeAmerica.

Musuwo unosiririsa unosimudzira mauri nevakuru vanofamba pakati pemauto, mafemu ekupemberera, mabhodhi emakambani, Congress uye nebazi rezvekutungamira rinoiswa mune rimwe nerimwe bazi rezvehupfumi. Liz Fowler, uyo akanyora "Affordable Care Act" seSeneti uye mushandi weWhite House, aive mukuru mukuru paWellpoint Health (yava kunzi Anthem), kambani yemubereki yeBlue Cross-Blue Shield, iyo yava kutora mabhiriyoni mumabhizimusi emubatanidzwa pasi pemutemo. Akanyora. Iye akabva adzokera ku "indasitiri" semukuru kuJohnson & Johnson - saJames "Mad Dog" Mattis akadzokera kwake chigaro pane bhodhi kuGeneral Dynamics yekukohwa mibairo ye "basa rake reruzhinji" saMunyori weDziviriro.

Chero kungasanganiswa kweubusistism uye hudyirism muAmerican mumwe neumwe angafarire senge muenzaniso sehupfumi hweUS, vashoma vekuAmerican vangasarudza iyi yakashata yezana ramakore 21 inoraira hupfumi sehurongwa hwavaizosarudza kurarama pasi pacho. Vangani vematongerwo enyika vekuAmerican vangakunda musarudzo kana vakaudza vakavimbika vavhoti kuti iyi ndiyo nzira yavanotenda mairi uye vanoronga kusimudzira?

Tiri kurarama munharaunda umo munhu wese anoziva kuti dhiri rakaora, saLeonard Cohen rwiyo runoenda, uye zvakadaro isu tinoramba takarasika muhoro yemagirazi, vanobatwa ne "kupatsanura nekutonga" zano iro vapfumi uye vane simba kutonga zvematongerwo enyika uye vezvenhau pamwe nechero rimwe chikamu chezana rino ramakore makumi maviri nerimwe kuraira hupfumi. VaTrump, Biden uye vatungamiriri veCongressing vangori avo vachangoburwa misoro, vachiita madhimoni nekukakavadzana pachavo ivo nevavanobhadhara pavanoseka kusvika kubhangi.

Pane kusarudzika kwakashata munzira iyo Democratic Party yakavhara mapoinzi yakatenderedza Bhitheni sekuonekwa kwaCovid-19 pachiitiko ichi. Mwedzi wapfuura, zvaiita sekunge 2020 inogona kunge iri gore reAmerica maAmos pakupedzisira vachabvisa utsi hunotsigirwa zvakanaka uye magirazi eiyo indasitiri yeinishuwarenzi yehutano US inowana indasitiri yepasirose yakawana mari kune hutano. Panzvimbo iyoyo, vatungamiriri veDemocrat vanoratidzika kuva vanogadzirisa huipi hwakadzikira hwekukundwa kunonyadzisa uye mamwe makore mana aTrump pamusoro (kune pfungwa dzavo) njodzi huru yemutungamiri weSanders uye hutano hwepasi rose. 

Asi zvino iyi yakasarudzika nzanga yakasarudzika yakamhanya-mhanya kuita simba chairo rezvisikwa, hutachiona hudiki hunogona kuuraya mamirioni avanhu. Dzimwe nyika dziri kusimuka kune ino chaiyo yekuedza kwehutano hwavo nehutano hwemagariro zvakanyanya kubudirira kupfuura isu. Saka isu pakupedzisira tichazomuka here kubva kuhope yedu yeAmerica, kuvhura maziso edu uye kutanga kudzidza kubva kuvavakidzani vedu mune dzimwe nyika, kusanganisira ayo ane akasiyana ezvematongerwo enyika, ehupfumi uye ehutano hutano maitiro kune edu? Hupenyu hwedu hunogona kutsamira pazviri.
