        I mistakenly thought that an economy was a product of societies. I was clearly wrong, societies exist to serve economies.

        Anyway, ask Naomi Wolff, she is very upset about requests to give her name and email to restaurants for contact tracing.

        Summers seemed to repent in Obama years when he realized he blew the stimulus. But his apparently reverted to type. Looking desperately to stay relevant. Sad. Not the brightest bulb in an otherwise high wattage family.

        Putting aside the merits, or demerits of Summers position, The US has actually been more generous than the rest of the works so far. Lots to bitch about in the US, but “relative” aid for mitigating the economic impact of Covid is not one. Absolute levels maybe, but not relative

        Summers is Democrat and served under the Clinton Administration. It just shows you the real values of the Left which doesn't really Put People First (neither does the Right btw).

        Note: Both can be true. We should have done more. It does risk inflationary pressures. Although I believe inflation risk is low, which probably means hyperflation is imminent.
