I see the numbers from the COVID19 and feel sorry for people that lost their love ones.I'm afraid that the numbers of people dying from the recession after that will be even bigger!
The psychological damage being inflicted right now is astronomical. Psychology and Therapy fields are going to boom for generations.
[[Direct Losses to U.S. Economy (GDP) $2.39 TRILLION ]]
ILLEGALS cost our country more than $1 Trillion dollars per year- every single year, and the number is growing- when all the costs are added- direct and indirect- it’s estimated to be over $500 billion a decade or more ago- and we’re very likely well over $1 TRILLION dollars per year now-
The media just go ‘meh- whatever’
Cloward-Piven. They finally got the opportunity to take us out in one fell swoop and they took it. The Governors and Mayors were in lockstep. My Mayor here in Colorado lashed out at a Council meeting and opposed the council and the bureaucracy and was immediately set upon by a literal Progressive army. These people are feral.
I don’t think it’s going to turn out like they want though. They would need outside intervention.
I have always thought the closure orders were too broad. Surely these rules could be refined in ways to limit contact and transmission while leaving room for some commerce to continue. For example, restaurants permitting dine-in at one-third to one-half dining room capacity, maintaining 6 foot buffer between tables, and dining parties of only 4 or less.
Because of all listed reasons this lock down will be forced to end. Governments can’t continue to generate revenue out of thin air without a fiscal backlash. Hyper inflation, massive depression, or a civil war are possibilities. In the very near future tough choices will have to be made. Whatever decision is made must be based on reason and not emotion. Failure to act appropriately will guarantee things will become much worse.
Oh HELL no. You want my friends and family to reward your theft?
Get thee BEHIND me, Satan.
No way to calculate the damage. Some children wake up from nightmares. Some parents wake up to nightmares.
Another week or TWO? Another two weeks of this and a hell of a lot of people will be in arrears bigtime. Everybody will be getting familiar with the term ‘force majure’(sp).
It's getting harder not to believe this was a deliberate part of some pols' strategy at "helping contain the virus."
I’m right there with you and have been saying essentially the same thing for the past 3 weeks. You cannot shutdown a nation and deny millions of people the ability to make a living.
I don’t have the statistics but suspect a minimum of at least 1/3 of families in the USA live paycheck to paycheck and a $1200 stimulus check is not going to fill the gap. People will be ruined financially and suicides/murders will be part of the fallout.
I see a future of increased suicides, broken families, murders and assualts and robberies.....
the vulnerable should have been isolated, not the entire country.....
would have been better to tell everyone to wear a mask than to tell everyone they had to be poverty stricken....
Bill the Chicoms.
You laugh?
Discount their Treasury bills.

Our debt to the Communists should be marked “paid in full” to cover this.
