I heard that the next financial relief package includes money to state governments to make up for lost tax revenue. If they do that, the governors have little incentive to end the lockdowns.
They’re giving everybody money to not open up and get things moving again. The people on unemployment are earning more than they did when they were working, next the states won’t have to worry that all but a few businesses are shuttered. It’s absolutely insane.
And here in my mid-sized city people are swarming the big box stores that are open, no masks, little to no social distancing, next to no COVID-19 cases.
I shudder to think what the national debt will be when this
is over.
