Of course it's not meant to be accurate. Dinosaurs didn't have stocks.

Well, the economy represents peoples lives as well. Look at the spike in suicides when the stock market crashed in 1929. There is also a human cost to closing down the country for an extended period of time and taking that into consideration doesn't mean that the person who does so is not concerned about life. It's not an "either or" proposition - we should consider both IMO.

But it's refreshing to see a meme which depicts a leftist point of view which is not malicious. As a conservative, I can laugh at myself or my view if it's actually funny. Good job!!

Leftist?!? Oh, no!! We can't have that! Humans cannot live without capitalist growth and profit — even if that instigates the sixth great extinction of life on Earth.

Yeah, no.
I'm not buying the bullshit you are selling. Those suicides were a direct consequences of exploited labor and state violence used because of capitalism.
Nice try tho.

sorry i overestimated you. "Exploited labor"??? What are you talking about. Most killed themselves because they lived on the margins and the margins were called. They were "rich" in stocks and te stockes crashed. We have a free market and labor is exchanged for wages. Who were exploited" and where was this state violence in the 1920s? Slavery had already ended. You are off the rails. Capitalism and the free market has lifted more people out of poverty than any economic system in history - BAR NONE.
