You are far too optimistic with how wrong things can go.
The economy running smoothly is what keeps revolutions and wars from happening. The last time the wheels fell off as badly as they did over the last three months we had WWII happen within a decade. We are lucky that it is a sharp shock and it is probably recoverable, but the longer we keep this up the slower the recovery will be. And given how popular extremist ideas were even before a 25% unemployment wall it is not something I want to play with.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoHave had those same exact thoughts that poverty leads to war and other terrible stuff. The people supporting these extreme coronavirus measures have good intentions but don't seem to understand the law of unintended consequences.
- ghthor 6y agoYeah, it's a mess out there. One thing I've noticed is just how narrow people viewpoints are, if they could just take a step back and look at the whole picture they might start finding some common ground. The government is overstepping its responsibility rig but now, and far too many people are cheering it on, it's dangerous.
