The impact of the shutdown is starting to take hold: mass unemployment, bankruptcies, relapses, suicides. And yet, the political rhetoric is stuck at "flatten the curve." For all of the bluster about science-driven decisions, we are sliding into a policy-driven depression.
Lower-wage workers are getting crushed, but blue-state politicos are salivating at the "opportunity" to implement a Green New Deal. They seem to think they can accelerate their policy goals by engineering another Great Depression.
The coming months will provide a real-world test for politicians: will they seek to restore the old regime of private property and small-scale financial independence, or will they seek to destroy it in the name of the next Utopia?
There is a group in my state inputting every bankruptcy, layoff, and business closure into a spreadsheet. It's a diner in Cheney, a party store in Spokane, a bar in Yakima. All of their dreams, vanished. If, in a year, the science doesn't justify this, who will pay the price?
Slight disagreement - we haven't been at "flatten the curve" in a while. That ship sailed several weeks ago. Then it was "until we have TESTING!". Now it's "until we have a vaccine/cure" or "until there are no or some smallish flexible # of new cases!" or just "until I say so!".
Good point. The rhetoric is on an asymptotic curve bending towards "never."
