Not to dig up the dogpile on the “what about the economy guy” but it’s a moot point anyway. Despite what The Big Short said (great movie though) economic decline and increasing death rates don’t actually go hand in hand at all. Yes it sucks and thanks to how awful our system is set up it adds a lot of difficulties in many ways, but (unsurprisingly for a lot of left leaning people, shocking for most libertarians and centrist liberals) there isn’t really much evidence of a relationship within a country between the stock market and mortality or often even QOL.

Plus most of the stuff that actually impacted ordinary people in 2008 like homeless, loss of insurance and retirements being wiped out could easily have been fixed with the resources we had, we just choose not too.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The lesson learned after 2008 was that 'the economy' is a term that, for all intents and purposes, does not include most people.

I mean it was devastating to a lot of ordinary people, I don’t want to minimize that, but human psychology doesn’t care much about your 401k but instead about your sense of community, being valued and security. People often report being happier and more fulfilled during crises despite objectively worse material conditions because most people actually like to help others and build authentic communities instead of competing to bootstrap their disruptive startup synergies.

It’s amazing that the US is a place where you can be upper-middle class and still one hospital bill and soulless insurance agent away from crushing poverty.

Trump would never allow the world to know he tested positive, unless he manages to get it and beat it. In which case, we will find out after so he can brag that he’s the fittest man alive, unlike sleepy Joe and weak socialist Bernie.

otoh if an audience member suggested Biden was at-risk, Biden would dare the person to cough on him so they could see who dies first.

Well yeah, the stock market isn't the economy. It's a measure of how much surplus value is being stolen from people who actually work and given to shareholders.

It's not the deaths causing the economic meltdown, it's the demand shock caused by people staying home because they don't want to die, because (as I think you were referencing) labor is the source of all value and the economy as discussed include brokerage account and assets held by people worth at least 8 figures and literally nobody else

Demanding everybody go back to work because a global pandemic that turns your lungs into a swimming pool because it is hardly any more dangerous than driving 500k miles in a year is definitely a good example of what I like to call Economist Brain

nah, he means checks from the government aka the unemployment money just passed by congress

but he probably doesn't want to check non-citizens for covid either, just revoke their green cards when their work dries up and kick 'em out

Reminds me of those crisis pregnancy centers that are actually just fake clinics established by pro-lifers that encourage them to keep the baby.

It's okay to impersonate doctors if you're white and Christian.
