“Economic inequality” is part of life.
Economic opportunity is the fruit of liberty.
Economic stagnation is the penalty of government.

Economic Inequality if Economy Restarts
We can only be equal if we’re equally impoverished. What does that sound like?
To: JV3MRC
You can make them live ubder socialism where everyone is equal. Equally poor. Well, except the guys running the show who become fabulously wealthy (mostly off the books, of course).

This is total bullshit. It’s white collar upper income workers who can work from home on computers who still have jobs. It’s working people who are taking the brunt of this.

You just knew this was coming
Rural America never needed to shut down at all
Only in High population density areas, especially those dependent on rapid transit, was the clamp down even useful.
The Atlanta area, for example, was a problem,
the rest of Ga. not so much
The Entire Eastern Seaboard megalopolis was a problem
Upstate NY, Vermont, Maine, W.Va. not so much
examples all across America. can’t apply zipcode level controls without getting some constituencies pantys in a wad
But you just knew that the Al Sharptons of this world would chime in with... wait for it... discrimination

If the reader to economy doesn’t restart, everybody goes down the tubes.
Let’s see just how many of these “minorities” remain in New York City when red states reopen and their economies start to boom again, while New York continues to remain in economy crippling lockdowns.
Cuomo is going to have to build a new Berlin Wall to keep them in.

A few days ago a leftist poster on another site claimed it's the "lower classes" who comprise the bulk of "essential workers" who are risking their lives during the crisis.
That's bunk. The people still working are well-paid doctors, nurses, and medical personnel, as well as police departments, fire departments, truckers, pharmacists, journalists, grocery clerks, delivery people (amazon, etc.), postal workers, and fast-food workers (take-out). Most of these people are middle-class or better. (The exceptions - fast-food workers, delivery people - are often young people, high-school and college students - who have a middle-class-or-better career trajectory.)
The people who are suffering are middle-class or working-class people in "non-essential" categories - small-business owners and employees, waiters/waitresses, dishwashers, barbers, hairdressers, cosmetologists, bartenders, florists, nurserymen, cooks, gas station owners and employees, and so forth. Many professionals, but not all - lawyers, tech people, consultants, etc - are able to work from home via computer, but perhaps in a limited capacity.
Bur even in the medical field, people not directly involved in the corona virus epidemic are also suffering. Well-paid tradesmen - carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters - may or may not be able to work, depending on local policies.
There is no neat-and-clear split between classes on who benefits and who suffers from the lockdowns, but people in high-paying positions are more likely to have a reserve to fall back on. . Shutdowns of sporting events and movies and plays affect people across the spectrum - from millionaire athletes to part-time concessionaires - but obviously the millionaires have a cushion that the concessionaires don't.

Instead of making everyone poor?
Economic inequity is what motivates people to better themselves.

So......everyone being broke and miserable, so long as there’s more “equality”, so long as everyone is miserable to about the same degree, is better than some doing well, and others doing no worse than they are now? You’re stupid, policy wise. You’re stupid vocabulary-wise (you think equal means “sameness”), and you’re too simply too stupid to have an intelligent debate with.

Life isn’t fair.
Democrats certainly want it to be unfair to many, many certain folks.
Sometimes inequality is there because of the very people negatively affected by whatever.
Largely though people are responsible for their own training and studying and being able to improve their life.
