The Choice (Non Political, Please)
Posted on 3/27/20 at 10:05 am

We are putting a two trillion dollar bet down. If we keep the economy closed too long, we lose it. If we open it up too soon and everyone gets sick anyway, we lose it.
Isn’t that the choice?
Please don’t go poli board on this! I just want to discuss if that is the decision point. I don’t give a shite about how we got here or who is to blame. Is this the choice we have right now as a country?

If we keep the economy closed too long, we lose it. If we open it up too soon some old people might die but the economy will recover just fine.
Seems like an easy choice

Is the two billion dollar question when do we lift lockdown? Too early, lose. Too late, lose.

What's your logic for tying the 2T spending bill to "opening the economy too soon". If anything, it seems like the spending bill would incentivize holding off on that as much as possible.

I want my $1200 so I can buy a bunch of blow and weed. All I care about.

I can’t understand it for you.

Seems like a logical deduction. I am of the unpopular opinion that we should have just went business as usual.

You boomers will have spent close to 20 Trillion on your middle eastern wars after we pay interest. Are you concerned about investing in actual working Americans?
Posted on 3/27/20 at 10:11 am to AUCE05
It’s not actually investing in Americans. It’s a no strings attached check that does nothing to incentivize improvement, development, or maturation.
It’s a stimulus that, if the economy isn’t opened by the time people get it, won’t stimulate shite

People are being forced to not work to save the elderly. We suppose to just tell them to deal with no food or paying their rent?
Posted on 3/27/20 at 10:14 am to AUCE05
No, we should not be forcing them not to work

Not questioning the bet. That’s a political issue. The question is now that you’ve made it, is timing crucial?

If you think the risk we have in opening the economy too soon or too late is limited/based on the $2T spending bill you are gravely mistaken.
And, I'll point out that the spending bill really doens't have anything to do with when we reopen. We should reopen as soon as we can reasonable live with this virus.

Ok. So does that mean we are screwed already? Seriously not trolling. I'm just trying to get takes on this.
Seems like the worst possible world is to make the bet then screw it up by too early/too late reopening.

the OT (poliboard-lite) has gone full poli board. People can't get past page 1 of a babe thread without making political comments. Someone literally posted about losing a family dog and political comments were amongst the first replies. People fricking suck.
