homelessness for generations? yeah thats hyperbole

Completely misguided individuals are requesting they we literally shutdown the country for weeks.
That will absolutely destroy thousands of businesses and bankrupt who knows how many people.
like I already told you, a tipping point is coming
the outcry will be too much after a couple of weeks of this

We are destroying lives to save lives?
Explain the logic behind that.
I can't.
Trump explained it as "lets stop the virus then figure the financial stuff out later" though which didn't exactly spark confidence

Look into the history in WW2. So, quit the crying cause you can't go to the gym or a bar.
In fact, people could still go to the bar in WWII.
Not sure if gyms were even invented yet, though. You're going to have to consult one of the history majors on that one.

Now that we’re into this a bit, where do you come down?
They say in every crisis there is oppertunity. My hope is that America will continue to embrace nationalism, free market economy, and disconnect from globalism. Hopefully Donald Trump will remain true to his "America First" initiative and continue to rebuild our manufacturing, especially our ability to manufacture critical drugs and medicines.
We'd better. The Chi-coms made a not so veiled threat to shut off our access to critical drugs.
We need to bite the bullet and cut the fricking cord.

Boomers
Gen X

This is a decimation of multiple generations with our country economically.
Hell, one generation still hasn’t recovered from 2008-2009.

Thanks, shithead. People like you are why the internet sucks.
You’re on the internet and in this thread. Calm down, there hasn’t even been a call for a Sonic meeting yet.

Yea, that is going REAL well.
What industry hadn’t shutdown?
Lots of industries are working. Our office building parking lot is definetly less crowded than normal, but it's far from empty.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Not sure why you keep ignoring the rest of my points though, but carry on

I mean they pay low wages, living paycheck to paycheck to Police, Fire and Ems to save lives.
And millions for someone to catch a football and entertain you. Millions for someone to make you laugh on a screen. And you pay for it all year round.
You’re right I thought money and entertainment were more important than human life too. It’s showing in this thread for sure.
Americans don’t make sense whichever way you look at it. But for now, settle in because we’re on shutdown until they figure out this deadly virus. Whether you like it or not..it’s gonna end the way it’s gonna end no matter what you post.

Why do you people keep bringing those up as if they are the only ones affected?
Just more disingenuousness from the “morally superior” crowd.
Unemployment will go up. Homelessness will go up.
This is going to get very, very bad, and it isn’t the virus that caused it.
It is panic stricken individuals like you.

Sure those who’s work is being affected by this will naturally say this is an overreaction. But those in the medical field or who have loved ones in the medical field, or have lived ones that are high risk or Have young children that need care will say the measures are necessary.
We should not use state power to make collective decisions for the interests of any person or group of people.
Don't talk to me about the concerns of doctors as if that in itself justifies any imposition on anyone else. It's an important factor in a balanced decision, but in and of itself it is not determinative.

Doesnt mean shite without knowing the age and underlying conditions they had. Less than .02% of even the elderly that are healthy otherwise are dying in Italy. We are tanking the worlds economy to stop a fricking cold.

Those people still make purchases of goods & services made by the sectors that are still "humming along".
When Delta, Disney, and Hilton spend hundreds of millions a year in technology, food, fuel, etc. They're all spending a fraction of their normal.
To act like this won't impact those industries "humming along" is ignorant of how the economy works.
I'm well aware of how all of this works. My post wasn't intended to be a 2 sentence commentary on the current state of the United States economy nor a prognostication of where it's headed. It was a simple rebuttal to someone saying "every industry is shut down".

While self-reliance is critical to freedom, diversification and participation in the global economy are important, too.
