If I were a just a little more conspiracy minded, I might think that the destruction of small businesses in America, as a response to a virus with a 99.75% survival rate, was in reality a way to get rid of all those energy inefficient small businesses in the country that waste resources in the name of individual initiative and personal freedom. But that’s just ridiculous..., isn’t it...?
It is more like: “Never let a crisis go to waste”
I think it has more to do with consolidating everything in a few mega corporations. When the time comes, it will be much easier to seize a few hundred big companies that it will be 100’s of thousands of small ones. It will also help to have the hardest working and most motivated people demoralized.
