I mean I’m aware there probably weren’t many black people during the renaissance. But it would be even cooler if this worked for people with different shades?

As an extension to your point I would also like to add one aspect that is often forgotten when discussing lockdowns. Which is that a complete lockdown might potentially be worse. Because what more important than social distancing is keeping young and old apart. Families that have elderly and the young in them would just be locked in and cause the elderly to get infected and potentially die due to the virus affecting them more. Furthermore what about the medics and their families? in a lockdown they would have to return home and potentially spread it with children and elderly. So a more surgical approach is needed in which isolation happens for the vulnerable groups specifically and the young would be able to participate in the economy and we could weather both the effects of the virus and the economy but im afraid a complete lockdown might cause us to end up in a lose/lose situation. In which case i only see a vaccine as saving grace.

But shorting markets is already being banned on some platforms i believe

Not to downplay any serious issues of fatigue, overworking or burnout but I personally found good air ventilation, strict rules of drinking water regularly, meditation and exercise did immense things for me. To the point where I have an excess of energy I never used to have previously at work.

What's even more maddening is that the population of flint Michigan is majority Black. Hard to spin that race hasn't got anything to do with the lack of effort in fixing the issue.

Agreed, I would also add:

Collect Calls

The Art of Peer Pressure

How Much Dollar Cost (Obamas fabourite song)

Blacker The Berry

FEAR

Let's take an example I read the other day about recent nobel prize winner in literature Kazuo Ishiguro.

He thought he was finsihed writing his book and coincidentally listened to a ballad by Tom waits which left such an impression on him that he changed the ending of the book that won him the nobel prize.

In his own words "The song is sung in the voice of a rough American hobo type utterly unaccustomed to wearing his emotions on his sleeve. And there comes a moment, when the singer declares his heart is breaking, that’s almost unbearably moving because of the tension between the sentiment itself and the huge resistance that’s obviously been overcome to utter it. Waits sings the line with cathartic magnificence, and you feel a lifetime of tough-guy stoicism crumbling in the face of overwhelming sadness."

This goes to show that insight can come from entertainment.

Also Kendrick has numerous songs with similar emotion evoking moments as the one described by Ishiguro.
