how long can we go with 25%+ unemployment?
you want a repeat of the 1930s?
it’s avoidable but not for long
Of course I don't want that but we are years away from bread lines.
We are going through a minor economic speed bump and people are saying how we should worry more about the jobless dying from starvation (fiction) than 2000 Americans dying from covid per day (fact).
It's a false dilemma.
As always, the solution is somewhere in the middle.
Neither locking down the economy or reopening it completely are the answer.
As always, nuance and counterintuitive solutions are needed.
Money machine go brrrr?if necessary, congress will enact universal income; your dream of societal collapse isn't going to happen
Pelosi says guaranteed income could be 'worthy of attention now' as coronavirus stifles economy
The House speaker said the extended timeline of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting recession should cause Congress to look at different ways to guarantee that Americans' basic needs are met.www.cnbc.com
You really think that's not going to create an even larger implosion further down the road?
He thinks this is "economic hardship" like a light recession, not full on 1150 BCE societal collapse and a new Dark Age that we're playing with
That is a fate worse than death for many
I fear a cult akin to global warming is emerging
there is nothing that will tip these types over the edge into “its ok to open”
I'm really glad that this forum has a good bookmark saving system.
I'm saving yours and Caca's rupture posts for later.
I always regret I didn't save y'all's posts when you were defending Boeing with your life.
That's all you've got from everything I've said?years away ?
I'm not for a complete lock down FUREVERS but advocating completely opening the economy right now is equally silly.
You don't think that when businesses open up again they will employ people?
I'm no economist but that doesn't seem likely.
we’re past the triage stage
This is about what can we deal with long term
there will not be a mandatory testing/tracing regime
there will not be a vaccine
So what do you do?
that’s too bad
And same stupid claims as to “science” as if science does not involve judgment or any sense of practicality
Well sure but it's nowhere near as doomy and gloomy as you and especially Caca and ifail are portraying it.
Unemployment is at 20% right now since everything is closed and people got laid off.
How many of these business' actually went under during this time and will not reopen?
I'd like to see that figure.
I can give you a couple of examples
one friend of mine owns 6 hotels
he laid off almost all of his staff
another friend of mine owns a costume jewelry design/manufacturing company
he laid off all of his workers
both of these guys are rich enough to not have to work again if necessary
their employees are less fortunate
maybe they’ll open again maybe not
the longer this goes on, it trends toward not
Nope. That shakeup was about governmental operations. Not expanded government power
Although you are right and it is good that the states are operating by themselves
