Survival of the richest? In US, being confined is a 'white-collar privilege'

In the United States, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted glaring social inequality. Many workers cannot afford to be confined to their homes because they are not eligible for unemployment benefit and have not been able to put money aside. Those who have to go to work must find their own face masks. A Covid-19 test costs $150, while being hospitalised with the disease costs $70,000 on average. For the millions of Americans without health insurance, these amounts are beyond their means. Our correspondents report from California.

it sucks being an artist in quarantine.

i'm apparently part of a band now? i mean none of us live close to each other but i'm making contributions to this group's songwriting and like i'm the only guitarist so,, i probably have to stay but it's stressful when you're trying to write your own songs for your own projects and then there's all this school stuff hanging over your head and it's like you're procrastinating on literally everything.
i'm painting my own killjoy mask. i got a party poison one but i'm doing one for myself too.might go crazy and cut the sleeves off a denim jacket i never wear and use all that fabric for patches for uh. crust punk jeans or something. maybe i'll learn to play in drop d tuning, maybe i'll go in the basement when people leave and teach myself a good ol fashioned screamo scream. learn to play the solo for demolition lovers and go nuts, do that song both guitar and singing. figure out how to use the multitracker thing i have and learn how to actually record stuff. i can't be "productive" by societal standards right now. i gotta create. i don't like how we live in a culture of guilt with that type of stuff. if art is supposed to come out of world crises there shouldn't be any shame in that.
