I'm not going to be the guy who has to tell a quarter million grandkids that I made the decision to off their grandparents to avoid a spike in the unemployment rate.
So bring on the 20% unemployment rate. I've been poor, I've been well off, but I've always been able to look at myself in the mirror when I got out of bed.
When it comes down to a choice between life and money, I'm going to come down on the side of life every single time.

Bingo... the left absolutely refuses to acknowledge the damage and death that a depression causes even though we have precedent. This is the Social media virus of 2020.... we are where we are due to social media...hands down.

Nah.
Life and death during the Great Depression by José A. Tapia Granadosa and Ana V. Diez Roux: "the only noticeable increase of mortality was suicide, with a noticeable decline of mortality in every other category."

BINGO! People don't realize living like Charlie Bucket and his family in Willy Wonka is what depression looks like. And yes, more people would die in that hell hole of a situation.
