She means well, but that don't get the wood that you need to heat the place to keep from freezing to death split and stacked, does it?

The global economy is imploding, but it is difficult to care when there are people gasping for air. For the first time ever, the lines of worry on the faces of hedge fund managers occupy a smaller space in public consciousness than the blotchy indents on the faces of doctors and nurses shedding their surgical masks after yet another 48-hour shift.
This is nothing short of radical.
The virus, borderless and indiscriminate in its reach, isn't only contaminating our airways. It is unzipping our very way of life. Holding a mirror up to our bewildered faces, it dares us to look at ourselves head-on and ask: What matters?
What other insights can we garner from this disaster? That there is a correlation between populist leaders and the time taken to accept reality. The extra days and weeks Trump, Johnson et al needed to bust the myth of their own exceptionalism have already cost lives.
Meanwhile, as countries including the United States rush to introduce the biggest economic stimulus packages in their history, it is worth considering that if small government offers no cure in a pandemic, it may not be the healthiest option in ordinary times either.
In the weeks and months ahead, normality will return to one country at a time. Goods will once again roll off assembly lines. Shops will reopen. The rat race will resume.
But maybe, just maybe, if we take this opportunity for self-reflection, things won't feel quite the same.

The ironic part is they will blame Capitalism for the collapse.
If the economy collapses, critical public infrastructure would soon deteriorate. Imagine the lights go out — and stay out. Big cities would become unlivable hellholes practically overnight. Then, it would get worse.
Or, imagine the health problems arising if sewage systems get blocked up — that's already close to happening locally because so many people are flushing disinfecting wipes.

Nope. Just like hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes never happened until people started drilling for oil and climate change suddenly appeared. /s
Good luck trying to convince the handful of pearl clutchers in here. An economy of +20% unemployment will lead to many more dead that this virus could muster on it’s best days.
She has that stupid “all I want is peace and harmony” look in her face that all libs have. Then walk by her with your MAGA hat and watch that mug disappear.
“What other insights can we garner from this disaster? That there is a correlation between populist leaders and the time taken to accept reality.”
Also you are part of the problem, not part of the solution Kate Hack. Nice try.
YOYOYO...you’re on your own you oaf. Can YOU handle it? Go back to mommy’s basement.
During a pandemic that lasted two years from its outbreak in the U.S., between 50 million and 100 million people across the globe died. Spanish flu killed more people than any pandemic disease before or since, including the sixth-century Plague of Justinian, the medieval Black Death, the AIDS epidemic or Ebola.
Oddly enough, Kate, you sanctimonious self-righteous demagogue, people have been dying every day since there have been people. I hope the next one is you.
The face of Victim Mentality.
Who cares about a woman’s right to choose for her body when babies are dying? Millions of them?
BS - Trump closed down flights from China while liberals at the New York Times and Washington Post were calling him 'racists'... The fact Trump was willing to move as fast as he did was a testament to his natural and corrupt contempt for the MSM...
And when things get bad enough, war will begin. It is inevitable-- when resources are scarce, it always happens.
Oh, yeah. It’s coming. The smart will prepare. NOW.
CRIMINAL American insider CONgre$$ might.
Because those people who jumped from windows of high buildings due to the economy in 1929 were less dead than the WuFlu victims.
We are all dying. She must hurt herself running around as if she has her head cut off.
Me.
And any rational person.
This is one of the stupider thoughts coming from Panicsburg.
