Let the fearpers rejoice.
We'll cope.
But at least nobody will die of the vrius.
Instead it will be homelessness, alchohalstm, opioid addiction, suicide and a whole host of other unforeseen consequences.
But hey, MSM, keep schilling for China. That is what Americans want to hear right about now.
At the rate we’re going the price of a case of toilet paper is going to be more than the US GDP.
Or not
Be prepared for the economic fallout after the lockdown ends.
This is the mother of Black Swans.

The only people that would see this as good news is hard core survivalists in the woods. and even then it’s because they haven’t thought it through.
I’d just as soon not borrow $7000 to get $1200.
Well, it is what it is.
We’ll cope.
Think about what ended GF I. And GD II is happening in a much different and interdependent world.
The fearpers cheered on this lockdown approach, even when warned of the consequences. The economic fallout from this is something to seriously be concerned about as it will 100% affect every single American in a very bad way.
Of course, counting losses in stock markets (value of public companies) and those companies’ losses is double counting.
Agree. God is in control.
What if the cure kills the patient?
Back when Trump was elected, I used to say that I honestly didn’t see us going more than ten years - and probably five, before a collapse much worse than teh 2008 one happened. But I never thought it would be caused by something like this. And we are consciously bringing it on.
It’s simply unbelievable. I feel like the lone lemming in the middle of a huge pack trying desperately to get out while the whole pack is pushing itself over the cliff.
All I can do is remind myself that life is a mist and this too will pass. But I’m old. I’m fairly close to the end anyway. It is the world of those under the age of 50 that I really feel for. Their world is about to be rocked in a way similar to how it was rocked for Europe beginning on September 1, 1939.
If you parse his words from yesterday even Fauci seems to know this can not stand beyond April 30.
Like I have been saying... I dont think people realize how catastrophic this is. They seem to think we can just push pause for 2 months and then resume where we left off. That’s the mindset everyone seems to have.
I get insulted on facebook and sometimes here for calling out the economic ramifications of the lockdown. They think I only value money over people’s lives. They don’t get that money, in a very real way, is what keeps people alive in the first place.
It’s not about valuing money over people. It’s risk analysis.
This strikes me as a bunch ofdoublemultiple counting.Just estimate the lost GDP and call it a job. Everything else is just a symptom.
