Song of the Day 5/13: Ice Cube, “Your Money or Your Life”
Pollsters asked people whether they were more worried about public health or the economy. Among Democrats, public health was more important by a 72-16 margin. Republicans, the economy won out, 55-38. So, in essence, a majority of Republicans are like Jack Benny — forced to choose between their money or their life, they’d have to think it over. Ice Cube released this song in 2010 on his “I Am the West” album.
The stupid fucking 55% of Republicans think “public health” isn’t something that they need to worry about because the term only refers people who live in the wrong part of town.
It is the same idiotic, fallacious thinking that informs “anti-masker” and Open Sooner protests.
