Jamis and RKL, do you have specific criticisms of what fistful has actually said instead of petulant strawman accusations? It doesn't strike me as particularly absurd - especially on APS - to say that there are some good things that the government still shouldn't be empowered to arbitrarily enforce with criminal penalties.
fistful, I know Jamis has done a terrible job of showing any concern or empathy for people outside his own highly protected economic bubble, but do you really think he doesn't care at all about people who typically live paycheck to paycheck and have not been able to work for a month or two, and probably have no prospects of returning to work any time soon? He clearly prioritizes anything that he thinks might help with fighting infection rates, and to be fair to you it does not help the way he sarcastically dismisses anyone who doesn't toe the same line, but I don't think he is as blind to the direct and immediate and lasting economic pain as he might seem.
