"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

What if that observation isn't lost on the bad guys who lost? Not just for the "good guys" who won.

Take the lessons learned by the eugenicist's Final Solution to their problem of "useless eaters" in the Third Reich. Who observed that while mass murder is easy:

"It's not the killing that is the problem. It's disposing of the bodies. That's the problem."

"Judgement at Nuremberg" (1961) Spencer Tracey, Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, William Shatner

(scene begins at 01:52:07 timestamp)

Based on the Judges Trial in the Subsequent Trials at Nuremberg.

One of the scenes about midway through the film where the German prisoners were dining together. One of the judges on trial leaned over to another table to chat with the former head of the death camps, asking if it was even possible to kill all the people they were accused of killing. The reply was that it was possible to kill 10,000 in a half-hour. Didn't even need guards or guns to do it. Just tell them their going to take a hot shower. "It's not the killing that is the problem. It's disposing of the bodies. That's the problem." Not just a dramatic line in the movie, it was the biggest problem for the mass murderers.

The scamdemic solved that little body disposal problem. The eugenicists getting rid of the useless eaters figured out how to shift the expense and hassle to surviving family members. They learned from history. Most of our neighbors and community didn't. Not a good situation.
