Generally, I view conservative values as high-scarcity, survival-oriented; designed to help cultures thrive when pressure is high. Liberal values are low-scarcity, and help people thrive when pressure is low. We're privileged to be able to hold liberal values.

What? It's a privilege to be able to shut down your economy and not work and still survive. No shit poorer areas would rather risk death.

We live paycheck to paycheck with higher standards of living than ancient kings. Americans are living in bigger spaces, with a wider variety of food available and a longer lifespan and no fear of kids dying and vaccines, all paycheck to paycheck

Aella doesn't get that postponing measures against Covid causes MORE economic damage as people become too scared to gather in crowded places. And countries much poorer than right-wing US states have had much stricter measures, and have saved the economy as a result, eg Vietnam.

I'm not saying that it doesn't create more economic damage, I'm saying if you're a poor rural person and they want to shut down your job because of covid, you're likely to be less tolerant of this than if you've got a year of savings in the bank.
